Raising My Garage Roof

I want to increase the headroom in the garage so that i can put in a car lift into the garage which allows 1 car to be raised and another car to park directly underneath.

Raising my garage roof.

Then run new studs up adjacent to your existing studs and put on new sill plates and a new roof. Finally fill in the outside of the wall with tapered pieces of sheathing and siding. I doubt if you can use your existing trusses. Enjoy the videos and music you love upload original content and share it all with friends family and the world on youtube.

If you need to lift the walls again the gap will stay covered. Then place the poles back on the spot they came from but higher now. Build a small framed wall of desired height increase lift garage and secure to new mini wall. Before applying the finish siding install metal flashing over the sheathing and let the flashing run 3 in.

Below the top of the foundation wall. Lift garage poor small wall and set garage ontop of wall. It has a pitched roof using modern w style trusses and concrete tiles. You could brace the inside of your garage and use hydraulic lifts to raise the roof.

You can raise it up with more sand and gravel until you reach the desired height. If a gap doesn t close up try laying a plank across the roof and pound on it with a sledgehammer. I have a detached brick built garage with the usual roof trusses. Lift garage lay a few course of block and sit garage back down on blocks.

Ways that have crossed my mind but of which i have no idea that would pass muster would be. If you are in a situation where you can t remove the posts then you can attach extenders to the top of the posts that are already in place. The major downside to it is the height of the door opening at about 1 9m and the floor to ceiling height of approx 2 4m. You might also try raising the actual garage itself but this obviously has structural challenges.

Additional support may be needed if the roof is not very stable. Currently whilst the pitch roof is of substantial height the trusses get in the way of access the full height.
