positioning a 2 post lift
In a separate posting I talk about a pole barn I am building to be my man cave . It is 24 ' wide x 28 ' deep . The garage door/s will be on a 24 ' end , have not decided on one door or two but leaning towards two 10 ' wide doors .
My question is about positioning of the 2 post lift . My initial thought was place it in the middle depth wise providing the same space front/rear when a vehicle is on the lift . But I am also thinking maybe the lift should be positioned more towards the doors so my longest vehicle will just be inside the garage door ( maybe by a foot ? ) leaving more space up front where I will build a large work bench .
For those of you that have installed your own lift how did you position yours ? If you have a garage similar in size where did you put yours ? I'm getting ready to pour the concrete so positioning of the lift posts is critical . I plan on pouring two pads 24 " x 24 " about 10 " thick for the lift posts and the rest of the floor will be about 5 " - 5.50 " thick .
