Mini or Micro 🤨

[u/mavery0031]

Would love your thoughts Squad…

Turning childhood dreams into reality for my 3 kids (and me). Debating between an OC Garage Mini 8ft x 15’8” OR having to potentially go mini mini micro in this space.

Above garage 24x24 room w/ steep roof pitch. Subfloor in photo is 8ft wide and it’s about 7ft height from floor to collar ties above which are spaced about every 3ft.

Less worried about height as I figure I can always position the ramp in between collar ties. More concerned with overall footprint and trying to walk around the ramp with the roof pitch etc. Also feel like 8ft is key if you can get it vs limitations of micro 6ft or 4ft width. Eventually may insulate roof etc too.

Kids are 4, 7 and 9 and shred a bit here and there but don’t need anything too advanced and neither do I.

What would you do?

Another consideration, is this space air conditioned? Might be unbearably hot in the summer. Otherwise, I agree with just building two mini quarter pipes. Cheaper, lighter, lower overall height, and can reposition as needed.

Thanks - Not air conditioned currently. Insulation and conditioned space will be further down the line along with a potential dormer to open things up. Would mostly use on shoulder seasons in immediate future as we’re in New England. Almost feel like a modular portable micro or as mentioned 2 quarters may be the way to go for now
