I'm not worried about the height. I have 10' 6". (126") So height is not a problem for the correct lift.
Now I'm worried about the width. I have a two car garage. Each door is 8'8" with 20" between the two. The side where the lift has to go is 15" from the door opening to the wall. So if I put the one post right against the wall and have essentially unlimited on the other...is there an answer to this? Can I angle this to work?
I'm willing to change the over head door to a manual swing out. That's no issue. I guarantee it will look better than the generic door I have.
I have 15" from the lift wall to the opening of the lift door. The lift door opening is 8'8" (96'). The division brick (carries load) between the lift door to the 2nd bay door is 24". The total opening from the wall to the 2nd bay door is 135" exactly. I'm willing to make a second door to my non-lift bay but I can't give up the whole bay. I'm worried I am right to the inch here. Is all this too close. I'm just worried I'm down to literary the last possible inch...and this is the smallest full size lift I can find. I thought about MaxJax but I really want a taller lift.
