I grew up using a in ground center post style. The biggest complaint I =
heard people say about it versus a 2 or 4 post version is it is hard to =

a 2 post has a post right where door opens, and 4 posts have 4 to trip =

Half the time we threw a sheet of plywoon on the hoist, had an =

When i get the chance to build a garage from scratch, it will have the =
in ground for sure....no question in my book. My clumsy body would get =
hurt on the other styles...

To all who took the time to forward their thoughts on this project, =
THANK-YOU! A lot of good ideas were collected. =20
We've got 2 picturesque acres of empty land to potentially fill, and =
natural gas is on-site. The house design is done, and the noodling stage =
for the garage has just begun. Weather up here is severe, so yes =
heating and A/C are prime concerns. I think I'll also design a tunnel =
to interconnect the house to the garage, underground. I can hardly =
wait........Saturday morning, snow blowing outside, Speedvision on the =
big screen TV, toasty warm & bright, latest toy strapped to the chassis =
dyno (yes there will be one), and the smell of coffee & breakfast =
wafting down from the loft studio/kitchenette above. The garage will be =
a hobby place, not commercial.
One question, to those who've lived with hoists for years. What's =
better, a 2-post hoist, or a 4-post platform hoist with a sliding =
hydraulic lift assist in the middle? I can picture advantages and =
drawbacks for each.
Thanks;
Walt.
