Anyone have a pit indoor/outdoor

Anyone have a pit indoor/outdoor

can't afford a lift and I got jacks n stand out the wazoo but it sure would be nice to be able to stand under the car can get a good look or access to do things.

All I need is some beer friends and shovels right?

Good luck with that. Every time i get the beer and friends, They drink too much and end up watching (supervising) me work.

Re: Anyone have a pit indoor/outdoor

Great looking pit and what an expression in the last pic!

I rent a place with a boarded up pit (the house and garage were a gas station in the 50’s) and, at one time,
I wanted to open the pit up. The landlord put the kibosh on it because of insurance/liability issues.


Here’s a partial quote by Chevy67Tk from a 2005 thread on the subject that relates to the insurance aspect:

A lot of insurance companies frown on them now unless you build them to their specs. if they know
you have one they might not write you a policy.

The things they want to see add to the cost in a hurry. Things like explosion proof lighting, ventilation
systems or gas monitors, drainage system, safety netting...
Not saying it can't be done but, if you could even get a permit, the insurance issues may pose a problem.
In that same thread is mention of a pit built using a platform system that sounds like it would bypass
some of those objections and added costs.

Welcome to the board fp1967!
Very impressive structure and it looks
like a great solution for using a gully too!
