How old are you?

lol great story, unfortunately happens all too often in the home sim world, actually extremely dangerous!

Interesting feedback, thx alot. Angle iron feet cut in increments along the 12’ span? Could you elaborate on this? Appreciate the help!

And unfortunately the slope is not consistent, I measure in a few different spots so I’ll rip each stringer to the exact rise. Can you elaborate on what you mean by “Run longitudinal with cross block or better.” I’m still learning a lot of this stuff as I go! Thx for your input

Oh you were asking about garage door tracks! Yes they’re about 7 foot, I was considering adjusting my door to only open half way, which would allow me to cut off enough of the track which would give me the overhead clearance I need. Short term solution until I go with high lift conversion (will...

I raised my rafter ties, which gives me about 10 feet of clearance.

Open bottom. What do you mean by enough height? Updating post as my rise is 1 5/8” not 4” as i originally stated.

Yes, need to update the original post as my rise is actually 1 5/8 “ over 12’

No, was just noting the rise over run (4" over 12' span) - i used my laser level last night and turns out its about 1 5/8, not 4"- more room to play with 2x4 now! only reason i'm doing 2x4 is because i want to stay as low to the floor as possible- eventually i will convert my garage door to a...

Hi All, I have done hours of searching of images and seen what others have done, I'm hoping for feedback on my plan (see photo). My goal is to achieve a level 9'x12' platform for my golf simulator. Edit to drawing - my rise over the 12’ span is 1 5/8” NOT 4” i have a 20x20 garage, half of...

used, thank you!

Thank you! We almost got a house in South Orange- we are right by Brookdale Park in Montclair. You lived all over the state! i'm from Long Island, my mother is very upset we are moving to Jersey :LOL:

Yeah that is a good point, I'm sure I will learn many lessons- i've lived in NYC for the last 15 years and am finally going to the suburbs- this forum will be my bible and i couldn't be more excited!

Just closed on my first home and have a detached, unfinished, 20x20 garage. where are you located? i've been dreading the thought of closing in the roof for insulation (i'm in the Northeast). Sounds like you are staying reasonably comfortable? Why did you only do the walls? I like the idea of...
