Two into One will go .... Well nearly
Discussion
After three years finally got round to sorting out the garage roof. Only problem is the Chim will not fit with the roof on, with the lift in a locked postion. So next job is to bolt the lift down and leave some spacers in to raise the lift an inch..then either the Chim or the Tuscan will fit underneath or on top. I did think I may have to change to roller shutter doors, but the up and over are OK...even the electric motor for the door just misses the car.
Time now for that well deserved beer

That is fantastic, what clearance have you got floor to ceiling....mmmm it's got me thinking as I have quite a high ceiling in my garage?
not as tight for clearance as Keith's, but a 9ft ceiling height it gives you a good clearance, think most TVR's are about same height.Ian
With the Hamer system, you require 100 inches height overall.
Both the Sag/Griff/T350 are all 47 inches high, the ramp is 5 inches, so making a total of 99 inches overall, and with an inch for good luck, fits within a height of 100 inches.
My Garage was 95 inches high, so got the local chipp to take out a couple of roof trusses, and add some additional bracing in the roof, which then gave me a few more inches to acheive the required height clearance required. You can just see in the picture below where the two lengths of timber have been cut out to give the extra height.

8 Foot (2.4 metres) standard modern house height... Standard plasterboard sheets I guess , because boarding the walls is the the next job. Then maybe some very large blow-up photos of the cars on the walls for decoration . My hole is at the hip of the roof, which meant a major load bearing double truss had to be be removed and strengthened... Thanks to someone on here for the building expertise

Up & Over Doors are a bit tight too
