Garage Plans or Kits For Car Lifts?

A dream of mine has been to have a detached garage in the back yard to accommodate a post lift.
Does anyone have one they could post pictures of, or a good source for a high rise ceiling garage that's aesthetically appealing?

Most high roof kits are ugly RV garages.
I'd like to avoid that, maybe a qonset style with straight walls, it's practical, but I find them unappealing.




The kits I find suitable are well over $20K, and that's without the expense of a slab.
I'd like the whole project to be less than $20K, but that may be a pipe dream for what I'd like.

Any pics or input is welcome.

^^I've already used mine when I had more physical limitations, so I'm looking forward to getting back to wrenching, hopefully.

I thought those days were over for a while.


I was thinking 2 post lift, but now I think a locking 4 post ramp lift would be ideal, giving me easier access to the back yard.
I already had front and rear rolling garage doors in mind.

Is the ground water table in your area low enough that you could also have a pit in the garage? It might help with the height requirement (lower roof).

I want to keep it simple, and be able to drive thru it out the back.
Still pondering.
My house needs work too.
I'm trying to see if I can make it all work without depleting my funds.

If the only way I could swing it would be with an ugly metal RV garage, then I might.
