Have the 2-post lift and fit the pit in between it. Gives you the option of lifting the car for oil/wheelchanges, brake work and so on or getting underneath to renew the exhaust system etc. Easily covered with boards to stop Bob (or anyone else) falling in and if you linked the boards with webbing stapled to them, you could make the boards a rollout/roll in feature. |
The house with the barn is in Cambridgeshire fenland Dave, a GRP inspection pit would become a canoe during wet weather :-)
The ramp idea is really good though, I’ve always wanted a really good workshop.
