Has anyone tried an 86 inch PLM in a garage studio?

My studio happens to be my garage. I took measurements in the garage for an 86 inch PLM and it would be a very tight fit using it at an angle in the garage. So I was wondering if anyone has used the big PLM in a small studio/garage?

My 64 seems to be a better fit than the 86 would have been. I have an 86 on order but will likely use it more outdoors than in.

I only have 5' octo and with 10 foot ceilings it is not much space to manage it. What do you guys shoot in the garage that need 86" modifier? unless it is a hyge garage where multiple cars can fit in.

I have a 3 car garage with 9' ceilings. Even my DO is tough to maneuver in there.

Wow, I'm using my 69" Octa in a studio with 8 foot ceilings and I'm doing just fine.

It's giving me exactly what I want and as much as I'd love a 12 foot ceiling, it's not stopping me from getting the job done. :D
