Wire mesh (sometimes called hardware cloth) ramps have worked well for me for years. You can get hardware cloth (1/2 inch x 1/2 inch or smaller holes)at hardware stores, garden centers, Home Depot, and Lowes. You need a wire snipper to cut it. You can easily make hardware cloth tubes by 'sewing' the sides of a long strip together with wire.
Another possibility is wooden ladders designed for small birds - however, some gerbils may destroy these in time.
Gerbils are actually excellent climbers. My girls can scale 12 inches of vertical hardware cloth in a second! I ALWAYS make sure the topper's hinged lid is closed!

I use rotastak tubes which are ok as they have metal rings for the ends so they can't chew on them.
