What is a Garage High Lift Conversion?

Garage high lift conversions are an increasingly popular way of creating extra usable space in a home, as well as providing a convenient way to store vehicles and other items. This type of conversion involves raising the floor of the garage to a higher level, allowing more space to be used for storage and other activities.

The first step in any high lift garage conversion is to determine the size of the garage and the amount of space you need to create. Once this is established, it’s time to consider what type of lift you want. There are a number of different types of lifts available, including hydraulic, electric, and manual. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, so it’s important to do your research and decide which one best fits your needs.

Once you’ve decided on the type of lift you want, you’ll need to determine the correct height for the new floor. This is important because the higher the floor is, the more usable space you’ll have. In most cases, a lift should be at least 18 inches higher than the existing floor.

The next step is to install the lift. This is typically done by attaching the lift to the existing walls of the garage. Depending on the type of lift you’ve chosen, it may also be necessary to install additional supports to ensure that the lift is securely attached.

Once the lift is installed, it’s time to finish the garage. This includes adding insulation, drywall, and other necessary materials. The goal is to create a comfortable and safe storage area that will be easy to access. It’s also important to make sure that the new floor is level and safe for walking.

Garage high lift conversions are a great way to add usable space to a home. By raising the floor of the garage, you can create a safe and convenient place to store vehicles and other items. With careful planning, you can ensure that the lift is installed correctly and that the new floor is level and safe for walking.
