<FONT FACE="Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:12.0px'>I have a double-deck layout in my basement. I installed a drop ceiling at a level that would cover all the mechanicals and ductwork. It came out at 6’9”. My staging sits right on top of cantilevers 32” above the floor, and the lower level subroadbed averages around 6” above that. The upper deck cantilevers are 24” above the lower ones putting them at 56”. The upper deck subroadbed sits 3” above the cantilevers on average. I’m 5’11” and can reach manually operated switches easily on the upper deck.<BR>

A topic sure to get a varied response (!); what do y'all feel is the optimal height for benchwork? Kalmbach book says 38". Specific application is a (mostly) shelf layout. Ceiling height is a bit limited, about 6'6" (remodeled basement).<BR>
<BR>
Any thoughts welcome!<BR>
