I use PVC pipes (Lowes or Home Depot) and plexiglass wrapped in shelving stuff.

i just bought the turtle dock from the pet store. it attaches by suction cups to the side of the tank,has a slanted bit on one side for the guys to get up on, it floats, so is always at the right level, it leaves them plenty of room underneath to swim, so they arent losing swimming area for basking space, and it comes in three sizes. i have the medium, because the large is a bit big for how i have my tank set up, and it works well.

You can use a varity of things such as...
plexiglass, turtle docks, or even pebbles ( you know that kind you can get for fish)

Those are to small. Your turtle will eat those and it can cause intestinal blockage and hurt your turtle. River rocks are best.
