Thats actually a pretty cool idea. How you do you get it up and down, do you have a bi-fold ramp?

I built a set of 10 foot rampsout of 2x8 with a 2x6 running down the middle of the bottom & one inch pices of 3/4 inch plywood a foot apart for traction. I plan on making a pull down ramp that I can lower from the celing with a rope. Like a draw bridge.
you could putt it on hinges and make it fold up or pull up and latch close so peope dont even know it is there
nice setup I was thinking about making something also, but I was going to use two scaffolds setup so I could roll it around.

that is kinda what I was thinking of doing.
i see
That space is cool, and scary at the same time. When you build the ramp just be sure you don't have all the weight on the existing shelf. I would make a separate support just for the ramp. Also a cheap 120volt winch would be perfect to raise and lower it with no effort. Check out like Harborfreight tools. Can usually find one for like $60 and a 1500# will be more than enough. Sorry, just my habit. I'm a builder by trade and when I see things like this I always get into it. Nice Job, Let us see when you get the ramp done.

That is a great setup you have there Zipper1081, good thinking. Great way to save space, way to go.

I have a small comealong (spelling) LOL I plan on using. I guess Its going to be put on hold till after the hip gets better.
If you are a bilder by trade you would love to see pics of the garage I just built. PM me your email address & I will send you more pics of it.
this is how i cram 2 atvs where there is only room for one. i use an electric winch from harbor freight for about $70.00. my 90 inch ramps work just fine.

Man that is GREAT I thought mine was good but you just shot me DOWN big time. LOL
but it looks as if he still has to navigate around it to get to the stuff on that wall....you dont...
true, mine is totally out of the way.
sorry zipper, didn't mean to steal your thunder. it's a squeeze to get to my drill press and tool boxes but it was impossible before this setup.
