Aaah, now I was assuming it was a pitched roof on the garage as my shed is a pitch and I hang Chewy off with no prob's and its made from dehidrated balsawood from Mr Shed or something ;D. Mmmm, if its a flat roof be careful or bob an acro in ;D

Thanks Laverdaroo and Ted,
I can see the obvious concerns, its good to get your points of view though.
At this stage I am just weighing up what you guys use and seeing what comes up.
Cheers ;)

Preference is always going to be a proper bike bench, they're ace and I wouldnt be without mine now but even second hand ones are dear unless you can catch a bargain. Second hand you're looking at £250+ but once in the shed you realise what good value it is.

Can I ask you what you felt best suited you for your own use now and how well it handles the 400f.
Thanks

Well, I spent 25 years grovelling about under bikes and always wanted a lift. When I got Chewy it was always going to be a lift job as I’ve a bit of a dicky hip but I didn’t have the cash until I was ready for reassembly but what a joy!
You can sit on a chair and do engine work and as you don’t have to bend down you don’t drop yer goggles off yer head and have to grovel about trying to hunt with one hand
The 400 fits it well with about 2 foot to spare on the end. Wouldn’t be without it now. I found mine on flea bay and snagged it for £175 as I turned up with it all in fivers so it looked like a good wodge of cash. It’s old but spot on.
Before n after’s, my sheds, 6m x 3.5m and full so it’s a squeeze but worth walking about sideways
The front ends off it there and you can see the strip on the front. That was there for 4 months, no dramas
