What is the ideal height for the garage edge for best results on a garage roof mount?

I drilled the holes for the top bolts at 107" and that made my rim regulation height when fully raised. I have mine mounted on the face of the garage above the doors, while others will have to mount it in the roof, depending on which side of the garage the driveway is on.

88" is correct on the height, according to measurements.I put mine together myself, but did need my wife's assistance with the roof panels. As others have stated, having a level surface is critical for a successful install.

About 18" max. If you only use the hooks The kit comes with straps that attach to the hook. With straps at least 24 inches to ceiling I have 8 foot garage ceiling. By attaching to straps -one end to loop other end to loop holding buckle I can get 6 feet between floor & bottom of kayak If you can't attach kayak to hooks only. You need to play with with harness straps to get max height.

I installed my mount from the ceiling and that worked very well. The kit comes with several height posts and should work ok for your application.

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.

The rack is approx. 27". I mounted it on a 1 x2" board so I would be sure to screw into the roof joists.

Yes. The highest point attached to my 2011 Outback is 6 feet 10 inches. Most regular garage heights are 8 feet. Be carefull in multilevel parking garages as you may hit. I have to park outside of these in most places around the Seattle area. Have caught myself twice but thankfully in time:)

Mine sets about 4&1/2 inches the way its mounted. I mounted mine to my bumper to curve around the front of my truck. So if it was roof mounted it would look like its pointing straight up. If that paints you a picture.

Each leg measures 1 inch to outside.... will set panel up 1" off mounting surface. I used other material to pad up to obtain approximate 2 inch offset from roof to the bottom of my panels, (used 1 x 2 PVC material). The 1 x 2's are 10 ft. long and also attached separately to roof rafters. My roof system is metal over a detached garage.

I have a 10' x 20' portable garage with 1 3/8 Poles from another manufacturer. I put the shelter logic canopy right over the top of the other canopy, and it worked just fine. The Shelter Logic Canopy is supposed to work on 2" frame poles. There is plenty of extra flaps on the sides on the Shelter Logic Canopy. You can feel very confident that the Canopy will work fore you.

I don't have measurements but my ceiling is also low my Jeep is lifted with 31" tires so the roof will hang on the hoist only inches above the height it already is when it is still on the Jeep. It's much better than having the roof sitting on the ground but not much help if you wanted to work in the garage or save garage space. Although it is amazing how effortlessly the roof can be removed & put back on using the hoist.

First always park in good spot, not backed in at the end. My rack has a 6" side rail. I can loop a small plastic coated cable (ready made or pieced together at Lowe's) enough to discourage the average lowlife.

I have mine mounted on the eve of my detached garage. My drive is 17' wide at that point and narrows down to 10 ' at the front corner of the house. The entire area in front of the garage to that corner is approx. 25 X 40 and is lit up when the cars are not blocking the area. It actually reaches a little farther down the drive but it is hard to get an accurate length because of the lighting in the front. Hope this helps you.

As usual, the answer is it depends. What type of surface, how much space are you working with, etc. These panels are designed to fit between the seams on metal roofs and you need either 9' or 18' of roof to use them. In my case I installed them on a fiberglass van roof as they were flexible enough to conform to the contours and the adhesive was the perfect way to attach them. The 9' panels were the ideal length for my application.

I was afraid of the same thing since my shed has a low, sloped roof. It didn't turn out to be a problem since most of the holes are large enough to start the tool in at an angle. Also, you can just make sure the tallest tools go into the open front "clips".

The antenna is a small light weight antenna and doesn't take much to mount. In my case, I purchased a roof mount tripod and it serves the purpose very well. The antenna is made so that it is easy to adapt, you can use a gable or chimney mount, if your in an apartment, they make a clamp on mount for the handrail on your deck and so on. As for the best way, on top of your roof up high enough to clear other buildings will give you best range. Now you didn't say which antenna you have, if you have the "rubber duckie" that plugs into the back of the unit, I had mine sitting on a shelf in my den and it covered my whole property no problem.
