8 foot ceiling or 10 foot ceiling?

hi,it seems shops never too big or tall, they fill up fast, mine is 18.6 high .I am building a mezzanine in to use extra space ,Its nice to have everything inside ,just my own opinion though,

I have a garage with 9'3" ceiling or so -- I have a four post lift and it only works in there because I work on little british cars. The extra height really helps with 8ft lumber I cut on my table saw.

I'm working on my detached garage plans. I'm planning on making a short wall around the perimeter of the foundation - maybe 12 to 16 inches. I was going to make it 10ft total height, after reading this -- I don't think I'll shorten the 10ft studs at all.

Thanks!

that's how mine came to be 11' high. I was going to build a 10' ceiling, but since we ran one course of block under the wall it ended up at 11' using 10' studs, a 2x bottom and double 2x top plate. No point in cutting the 10' studs down!
