Re: Best Attic pull-down ladder under $500 (30"W & 10' Ceiling) 1 week timeline isn't crucial, but would be better... If there is a way superior unit id be open to delay. Figured it would go in one of these spots in the lower right corner, as this is shop space and would typically not be...

Prefer largest opening 30" Alum or steel would be preferred but wood is ok if sturdier. Joists are 31.5" apart, and ceilings are 10'. Figure since i have the space id do 30" unless there were reasons to avoid. I believe I have the room for the non-folding units, but may be outta budget. I've...

Great feedback guys, thanks! Pics are very helpful, thanks. I really overlooked the lower drive-thru clearance in the hunt, the #s i posted were different measurements, but glad you pointed this out.. Looks to be a perfect fit for you, not wasting any garage space with overall width that's...

Thanks for info. Yea, BYB is out. That 14k bendpak looks nice, but still $5,145+ and not incl bridge jacks, so well north of $7k with 2 jacks. We thought it out a bit more, likely going to make the extension pieces, basically beefy L brackets with gussets. We will powdercoat them to match...

Pricing on the BYB cleared them off my search, but FYI to ppl interested since I was unable to find anything before calling BYB 9k - $5995 BYB 9K Ext Height - $6895 Sliding Jack - $1895 (car) Sliding Jack - $1995 (truck) The Atlas 9000 Combo with (2) Jacks for $4100 looks to be the best deal...

Found the Backyard Buddy 9k, which features a wider runner width, @ ~89". They look to only sell direct, so pricing wont be in my favor, but atleast an option... Anyone seen/heard of ppl using the GregSmith/Atlas roller jacks on other brand lifts? Bendpak, BYB, etc?

Thanksgiving for feedback guys. The lifts I mentioned were more so examples, Really hoped to find a workable hobbyist one. Both the bendpak and atlas hobby ones are likely too narrow in overall runner width. The direct lift looks also to only have 79" track width and sadly. I'm ok with some...

Spent a good deal of time on recon for my lift purchase, and finally now able to order mine with build wrapping up... Sadly, in the interim of last few months of build delays they discontinued the Atlas 409HP which met all the criteria I had :mad: Any guidance on options i might have missed or...

I agree and do prefer that setup, sadly due to it being a long & narrow lot this format was most workable. With it turned I'd be dealing with a sharp 3pt turn, then a bit more in added concrete.. Mostly though, it pushed usable yard to just the rear of lot. This maintains more yard use, and...

Thanks for the feedback, after more thought opted for 23x37. Was able to get some additional height through a admin variance. Plan is to not do cross joists in the shaded area to leave most room for the vehicle on the lift (est ~14' interior clearance). It will be a Hip roof in front and...

updated lift to actual dimens, look to have some more room to shift it towards center. 13' looks out of the realm, maybe 12' if im able to pull off a 6/12 pitch :/ Cab of truck would be ~4ft from the wall on lift. Any opinions thoughts or feedback is much appreciated

will look to convert other files to jpeg, but heres a pdf for now

Hey all, been a lurker for years but think I may be putting up a new garage to buy me a few years here still. Not my forever garage build, but also don’t want to make any rookie mistakes with money being spent. Any advice tips etc are appreciated. Limited to 864sqft, and given circumstances…...
