Shed ramp options

I’m planning to add an 8-foot ramp to my garden shed. The shed doors are 6 inches away from the foundation, and there’s a gap of just over 16 inches from the shed to the foundation’s edge. Additionally, there’s a 6-inch drop from the shed’s foundation to the ground. Here are the two options I’m considering:

Option 1: Start the ramp at the shed and notch the 2x6 joist to fit the shed’s foundation. However, without calculating the angle, it seems like there won’t be much of the joist left after the notch.

Option 2: Build a box from the shed to the edge of the foundation and start the ramp from there.

I’ve attached pictures with rough measurements to give you an idea.

I’d appreciate any feedback or advice from others who have encountered similar situations.
