Re: Fitting your TALL K5 through your garage door ?\'s?\'s
I have a steelmaster quonset hut garage,20x40 with a 10x10 overhead door on one end,the other end was framed for a 9x9 door,but I never put a door on--its still blocked off with plywood 12 years later! /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif. The hut would have had 12 foot doors had I not built my own endwalls--I didnt want the "airplane hanger" look in my yard,and the wind would have probably torn them off anyway,and sliding doors suck anyplace ice and snow falls.The building inspector gave me a hard time about a door higher than 8 feet in a residential area--he feared I was going to fix 18 wheelers in it!--I told him I had a slide in camper on my pickup,and the garage would be useless to me if I couldnt drive the truck in with it on!(the main reason for building it in the first place!DUH!!)and I might buy an RV or motor home later on--so he relented and we settled on a 10 ft high door.A quonset hut style building is awesome for anyone who wants to put tall vehicles and a lift in it--no rafters or trusses in the way.And they are fairly cheap too--I paid just over 4 grand for mine,delivery was free from toronto canada,its galvalume steel,22ga.and its held up to more than one 3 foot blizzard,many high windstorms--only thing that I dont like is the bolts are getting rusty,but the steel arches are still like new--I'd definately buy another one if I have to move and lose this one.
Maybe you can modify some "space saver" spare tires to fit the bolt pattern on the trucks that wont fit--some of them arent much higher than a riding mower tire--you could torch the centers out of some junk rims and weld them onto the space saver spare's rims---- /forums/images/graemlins/thinking.gif
