Learn how to build an incline in Animal Crossing: New Horizons. Discover the costs, placement requirements, and payment options for constructing inclines to improve island navigation.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Speak to Tom Nook and select the option, About bridges/inclines.
  2. 2
    Choose to talk to him about inclines instead of bridges.
  3. 3
    The cheapest incline option costs 98,000 Bells.
  4. 4
    You can pay the construction fees all at once or add money towards it each day. The incline will not be built until the fees are fully paid.
  5. 5
    Once you've chosen an incline style (the natural ramp is a good starting option), Tom Nook will give you an incline marker kit.
  6. 6
    Place the incline marker kit, ensuring it meets placement requirements such as being on an even cliff face and not too close to lakes or houses.
  7. 7
    After placement, Lloyd will manage donations. While villagers contribute a small amount daily, it's recommended to pay as much as you can towards the construction.
  8. 8
    Once construction fees are paid, the incline will be built by the next day.
Tips
  • Inclines allow villagers to reach higher areas of your island without needing a ladder.
  • You don't have to pay the full construction fee immediately; you can pay in installments.
  • Villagers will donate a small amount towards the incline each day, but their contributions are minimal.
  • Pay as much as you can towards the incline to speed up construction.
