Great advice I'm very happy with the outcome. Thanks for your help!

They can be leveled but would have to be mounted high up because of the lift

Hey Platonic I appreciate the help here. I oversimplified my situation. The garage is 24x24 with a 10' ceiling but I'm putting a lift in the first bay as the pics suggest. I'm in mid construction obviously. That is why I ordered 8 units and I was planning on installing them 90 degrees to the...

Ha ha I can be impatient to say the least. I’ll add another one why not. Put these at 90 degrees to the vehicle orientations or in parallel? Thanks!

I ordered 8 of the 3 bulb versions. Let’s get this lighting party started!

I guess I could do 8 of these and simplify the wiring. Cost and bulb count is more or less equivalent TechBrite 48" 3 Lamp LED T8 Strip Fixture - 5000K - 7,815 Lumens https://www.prolighting.com/t443ssubcxx00p0-18w5k.html

I don’t really want a PhD in lighting to be honest. I’m thinking of grabbing 12 of these for my 24x24 garage with 10’ ceiling. TechBrite 48" 2 Lamp LED T8 Strip Fixture - 5000K - 5,210 Lumens https://www.prolighting.com/t442ssubcxx00p0-18w5k.html EDIT: they come with bulbs/tubes wow that’s a...

Thanks for that. I do have some pics. Luckily there is nothing but joists and its all wide open. There are a few supporting beams up there but nothing atypical. Peak is about 8' from the ceiling joists. Garage is 24x24 here is the hip roof side that I'm not touching The hip roof portion...

Also I'd be interested to hear more about those things.

Using the Direct Lift calculator with myself as the required height underneath and my 65 Mustang up top it calls for 11.5 feet. A BelAir would require 12 feet and I've owned a few of those. So I'm shooting for 13 or 14 basically as high as it will go but could compromise at 12.5 feet I suppose.

I like what you did there! My peak is a bit higher so I can still get 13-14' and have joists. Regarding the engineering common sense should apply. I can truss the structure and add a cross beam. My contractor built a sizable addition in my last house so if says its good in my opinion its...

I have land in Mooresville and construction is HOT so prices are pretty up there. One reason my land is still vacant!

Hi folks I have a 2 car attached garage with. 10” ceiling and I’m looking to raise the ceiling joists on the bay closest to the house. The other bay has a hip roof slope so I’m planning on leaving it be. The joists thankfully run front to back so I can alter one bay and leave the 2nd bay...
