Looking at building a detached garage to the side and back of my home. Unfortunately, when I take into consideration the 5' setbacks on the property lines, the big space I had in mind gets really cut down. I have more length than I have width. I am looking at a 16' garage, with I suppose a 14' door. I was thinking of getting a scissor lift as well. Is this workable with two car side by side? Should I just put the scissor in the center, rather than to one side? Anyway, just seeing if anyone has any experience or advice.
Thanks |

To give some perspective, I just bought a 14 X 20 garage. Even with the "smallish" size of our 914's, I think it would be tight to work in a 16' W space in a side by side configuration.
I'd offset the lift to one side so you have plenty of open space on the other side, or as Mark suggested, get a movable lift. Keep us posted on what you come up with. Also, don't rule out applying for a variance with your local zoning board. I did it. It's a hassle, but may get you a few extra feet.  |
