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.

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.

Hi, new here and was looking at some older threads and seen this one.
Here are some pics of my outside pit.

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