ceiling height

[goldie lox]

i am planning on raising a section of my ceiling and have decided to go on 9ft height, just dont believe 8 is gonna be enough and 10 might be over kill when i have 14ft in the rest.

does going 9 sound good or what. any opinions welcome

Depends on what you're going to do in there. How big are your vehicles? Do you have plans for a lift?

the lift will be in where its 14ft. daughters 150 and wifes jk are on 38's and 35's. really have plenty of height when its needed. just never heard of a 9ft ceiling. and wondered if i should just to to 10

Id go 10

If you ever decide to drywall your space, the extra height will work out well with flat wall materials. Taller is better in many instances.

Does anyone else see the humor in Goldie Lox and Cyber Bear discussing anything but even funnier when Goldie Lox starts with 8 foot is to short, 10 foot is to tall but 9 foot is just right?

No offense intended

!0. More height is always better in a work space, unless you're a watchmaker or something. Besides, it's a lot less cutting when it comes time for sheet rock!

I would go with 10 if you can do it.

Now that you put it like that, yes, it made me chuckle.


I'd go with 10' ceilings.

Attic above?

I would go 10' as other have said. I have 10' and then transition to rafters/stick for the vaulted section for the lift. I thought about doing 9' also for a little more headroom in the attic, but it is just for storage and I think the extra foot on the floor will be nice.

ya its the only spot with a loft. the rest is open up to 14. so i really dont need height in that spot but......

thinking i might go metal walls. havent really decided on it but thats the way i am leaning.
