A cunning plan, a plan so cunning you could pin a tail on it and call it a dobwalk.
I think your biggest issue will be to make the dobwalk strong enough to not spring while in use. Why not just pour a small concrete pad there and use an ordinary door ? You could give it a wee bit of extension so it was level and resolve your height problem. I'd just box it, 2.5 meter square maybe, get some hardfill and compact it, then pour a 100mm thick slab with a bit of rebo mesh in it.
Could be a nice spot on an afternoon with a deck chair and few bevvies as well.
