    Who has a 2 post car ramp in their garage

    Wondering if anyone has a 2 poster in their garage at home. Wondering what sort of garage height I would need as I'm looking into getting one put up

    I've got one at work. I can measure it tomorrow, had the roof raised in timber so will raise most cars to the maximum height without touching

    Working at a garage with a ramp you also need to consider the room around it, if you got a decent sized double garage you should be fine but by the time you put a bench etc and have to walk around it, takes up quite a bit of room. When I move house again, probs 5/10years time I will be getting somewhere big enough to fit one! Show us some pics if you get it done

    Considered one for my new garage I'm building.....

    But after looking into what is required in the way of footings and what could go wrong if it's not sitting on the right foundation I have decided to keep making do with stands and a creeper.

    Maybe I would go for a 4 post if it was big enough, but definitely not a two

    I just measured mine, from floor to roof it is 12ft. Can go all the way to the top on most cars. I did have to dig out the ramp base and put some stronger foundation in though

    I havnt got one yet. Well I have but that will be coming down and putting one at the bottom of my garden instead so it's a fresh start and I have as much space as I want. Havnt decided what to do yet. I did have a pre fab one at my last house put up which was great but not high enough for a ramp. I could have a double pre fab and as long as I like but will be limited height

    I'm about 5ft 9 and I can stand underneath at full height. Wouldn't really want it any lower cos it's uncomfortable unless using a wheely stool

    What sort of height does it come to with a car on it? At full height?
