Re: New to Me Lift

Solidaxle,
Those are actually pics from 2006, I've been done for awhile other than final drywalling of the inside. I am in elmirage and the city is not fit to issue outhouse permits let alone real construction, you don't want to hear about the hoops I jumped through to get this built, it was probably a year of my time and 1200bucks in permits. But the doors are 10x10 and they did a scratch coat/brown coat and then the texture, the walls are 12' high and the peak is over 16'.
And 57extcab, I'm only 5-9 on a good day so I can almost tap dance under the lift in the middle without any problems for head room for me , still have to duck around under the ramps, I ordered the trusses to be vaulted so I still have 15 clear in the middle of my garage , but with the truck all the way up is only above 12' at the cab.

Re: New to Me Lift

IMO, the wall ht. is most important. I have a 2 post but was able to offset it to one side of the shop because of the 10' wall ht. Also, in Pima county, it's not the peak roof ht. on a pitched roof, it's the average ht. They have a formula based on truss slope. Also, if your shop is not attached to the house, I believe your shop footprint size is based on lot size, and it's relatively easy to get a variance for that, if your neighbors like you and you're not in an HOA. I've been there and done that with the county.
