That's some nice work.  I have been looking for some way to make custom garage

Your design has inspired me to make some variations:

Chained cross-blocks work fine, but use a lot 2L lift arm and is a little thick.

Design 4:

Chained "nose" piece or 2L stud-less beams works OK, but the link tends to
wobble.
