Thanks for the suggestions on dealing with the sagging. I probably will attach another board to the front to correct it. Those pieces are attached with about 10 4" wood screws (screwed in from the top). I figured it would be stronger than screwing from the bottom. The floor has quite a grade...

Here's the finished product. The weight is spread out over 3 engineered joists (bedroom directly above the garage,) probably overkill but it's strong. If I built it again, I'd position the vertical support about 2/3 of the way down the platform, rather than near the corner of it. As was...

I'm building a 4x8 platform to hang from the ceiling for my single car garage. I'm thinking of making it out of 2x4's and a sheet of plywood for cost and strength. The metal kits sold at Lowes and Home Depot are attractive, but at around $150 for a kit in my area, I don't see the point when I...

Gents, I've got a single car garage, approx 10' wide by 24' long with a 10' high ceiling. I tried a search on small garages and single car garages but couldn't find anything specific on the forum. I want to spruce up my garage so it looks good, has some storage for things I'm tripping over, and...
