what minimum space must there be between the top of the existing garage door track and the ceiling above it?

In my garage the distance between the existing track and the ceiling is 11".

The top of the opener is the same height as the top of the jack shaft cable spool bracket. On my set up that puts the top of the Liftmaster about 8 " above the track. Hope that helps. Leon

Needs 3" ceiling clearance. Measure up from the center of the Torsion bar. The track height shouldn't matter as far as I know.

The 3" number from the center of the torsion bar or jackshaft sounds about right. Track systems on different door can vary greatly, but the jackshaft is always the highest part of the door.

The shed itself is 5ft long. Whe both doors are fully opened, the maximum space needs to be near 10 ft.

I'm going to estimate ~5/8". I can't measure the height exactly because the ends are against the track. Have had NO water in my garage since installing btw.

Not sure I understand what you're going for, but the previous answer is correct in that you'll need an opening in the ceiling min 21X24. In the attic you'll need a "landing area" 16X40 with at least a 30" height to be able to swing the ladder up and down. Bit confused on the crawl space thingy... here those are under the house. Hope this helps.

Your ladder should be at least two feet taller than the garage when set up.12.5 will be two short.but it is a nice ladder.

Depends on how high your garage ceilings are. If they are 10 feet then clearance is not an issue. If they are 8 feet then the opener will hang low and COULD be a clearance issue with some higher profile vehicles.

You will need at least 4" below the surface. The round top of metal is above the floor.

I have 9' ceilings in my garage and the platform lowers to within 18" of the floor. You could add cable to extend the drop to accomodate the added height from the original point. However your highest lift point would be about 7'6" above the floor. I am sure any alterations would void any warranties to the product. On a side note: I have two now and will be ordering at least one more soon. As far as control rod, you will have to extend it to meet your needs. The directions suggest a 1/2 inch drill but I had a local machine shop turn the insert down to fit a 3/8 drill. I might advise you to not use a cordless drill. I personally would consider going a little lighter on the max weight. I have 9' ceilings in my garage and the platform lowers to within 18" of the floor.

Never measured how tall it is but my garage has only 8 foot ceilings and it fits nicely with room to spare. The width is about 2.5 to 3 inches.

Richard, the space above the roof trusses is about 100 sq ft. However, that is a little misleading in that there is only about 1 foot of clearance from the roof truss to the peek to the roof. Of course, the space above the roof tapers down the closer you get to the inside edge of the roof. I utilize this space to store long/heavy items and garden tools, e.g., big crow bars, rakes, hose extensions etc. All in all I am very pleased with the shed. I hope this helps G. L.

You need an area of 6'X8'. 6' out from where the slide entrance will be attached & 8' width giving enough space for the slide exit.

This product is designed to cover a basically flat surface, but we all know a garage floor can and do have gaps. Best GUESS is .5". However a companion piece, in conjunction with a new door seal, specifically designed for application to the garage floor probably would be in order in an obvious gap situation.

My garage ceiling is only 9 ft, however there is excess rope. If you require a longer rope, it appears to me that replacing the shipped rope would be relatively easy.

According to installation instruction manual....you must have an 8 inch minimum space between the side garage and the end of the torsion bar. The torsion bar must extend at least 1 - 5 inches past the bearing plate.

It is located in my garage which has a standard height ceiling. No problem at all getting tools out!

Im not sure if my reply wen through. I think it will be about 1 1/2 inches from the ceiling. I did not take the screen down just pulled it out from the bottom but I think that's about all it should take.

at least 2 feet above door or better 10 feet from the floor to the mounting bracket!
