Reply to: Increasing height of garage ceiling.

[woohoo]

consult an architect I'd say, or at least a recommended builder. Altering a roof is a risky business and needs expert assessment. However, creating an A truss from a triangle truss might be your best option.

I might have to or an engineer to do the calculations.

It won't improve your golf. You need to get out there on the course. If three hours playing a week doesn't work, neither will 20 hours.

I disagree, but thank you for your opinion.

It's a pitched roof. I want to avoid raising the height of the garage. So it needs to be an internal change.

Is it a single or double garage?
How many trusses are there supporting the roof?
What is the pitch of the trusses?
If you didn't play golf in high heels, would you still need the extra height?

Sounds like you could lower the floor by installing a pit.

Always useful when changing the oil.

Any ideas or direction would help.

How about just focusing on the 19th hole.. ..?

[woohoo]

Carry on...

yes it was.

Of course, I've done that already, but I was getting rain in my champagne flute and the taste was horrendous.

Anyway, I've kicked the house keeper out of the Garage and I want to convert it for my pleasure.

You're a contractor, FFS.

Nominate a parcel of your acreage and build your own course.

Is it currently flat or pitched roof? If flat, just replace with an A frame pitched. If pitched, remove in bits, put another few courses of bricks in and replace as it was. They're the cheap options.

Garage door, not much weight so just drop suitably sized battens from new ceiling. Simples.

Sounds like an expensive faff. Can't you just get a new hobby like stamp collecting or something?

Unfortunately, I'm now obsessed with becoming half decent at golf - im pretty bad. But its a 25 mins drive to the range and fairly expensive. Plus I quite fancy having a man cave.

[woohoo]

Lower the floor

Does that mean i have some kind of step down to the garage, will that stop me using it in the future as a garage for a car (I'm thinking if I sell the house).
