One-man operation with one jack for 13' high walls! - This thing works great. I used it to single-handedly raise 13' high x 16' long 2x4 (16" c/c spacing) walls of an RV garage. I used only one jack. You just need to find balance point of wall and it works fine, but I wouldn't go any longer than 16'. I also did not sheath the walls, although they had three rows of blocking and some had headers and the extra framing for that. The instructions tell you the min length needed for your 2x4 that the jack climbs, per your wall ht. but it says that taller than 10' is not recommended. It states that 10' requires a 16' 2x4, which I didn't believe until I did my geometry! It's true. For the 13' high walls I needed a 20' 2x4, the longest my lumber yard has. I found all of this out after the fact and got lucky that I could even use the jack for my application at all. You need to be able to support a block right behind the jack pole (the 2x4) at just about 3" or so beyond where the top of the wall reaches on the floor. The pole is standing straight up at this point, with the wall slightly raised. I had raised mine by hand enough to slide a chunk of 2x10 under. You might be able to get by with a little less. Attaching that block would be pretty easy on a wood floor of course but I have concrete and had to devise something different. It was time-consuming but there's no room for error. I would say you can get by without the wind kit but I did try to order that. Couldn't get it for some reason. I wound up tying the jack to the wall to retain it at its peak but of course you need to retain the bottom as well, which isn't as easy since it leans more and more as you go. Best method I settled on was to tie the jack to wall and jack it to pretty near vertical and then use another block of wood and screws to retain bottom of 2x4 (on top side) from wanting to move forward without permission. I attached the retaining block too early on the first wall, which was only 12' long because I wanted to try the shorter wall first (2nd and 3rd pics). You can see that the 2x4 was pretty bowed and that was all because of the block I attached too soon and on bottom side of 2x4 pole. I later attached it to the top side of pole and when there was very little more jacking needed. Otherwise it will be really straight all the way up, with no bowing. If you do all of that right you basically have it braced in the middle for the time you have the jack attached. I still wouldn't do it in a wind though. I also used it to raise 15' long 9-1/2" LVL's one-at-a-time straight up to the 11' required ht. I goofed up on the first one and got in a bind. Just keep in mind the space it needs as it rises. You don't want to get way up there and have a problem because you can't just crank this down like a pump jack. It's basically one-way when it's got weight on it. Another poster said it's easier to take jack down after you're done and then pump it the rest of the way off the end, take back to the bottom, and remount than it is to try to lower it back down. Very true, especially when she's 20' long! You'll need a piece of 3/4" or 1" pipe but it doesn't need to be any longer than about 2' and could be shorter too. Good luck and be careful! Take your time and think it through.

Anyone done this?** A: I have jacked up an 8' long section of wall, using two 20 ton hydraulic jacks. You need a LOT more power to lift part of a building. These wall jacks are designed to angle lift a wall - not a section of a building. **Q: is this one jack or a set?** A: this is a one jack You ned two for a long heavy wall **Q: Any 1” steel pipe will work for the jacking lever?** A: One inch outside diameter. Longer gives better leverage. Worked great for erecting 10 ft. high 24 ft. long 2x6 walls by myself. **Q: Your video shows a completely different item than you are selling, what’s up?** A: Apologies, it seems the wrong video was loaded. We will work to correct that promptly. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works great. One-man operation with one jack for 13' high walls! *by M***E on April 24, 2017* This thing works great.

I am in the middle of rebuilding our home, after losing our original one to fire in late 2010, I read about these in a book from Taunton Press on Home Construction. I was able to erect 10' 2"x6" framed walls 25'-45' in length complete with OSB siding installed using only three people (one for a tagline). Absolutely incredible! I raised the walls on a slab, so I had to use a different method than the instructions cover. Due to having already stained the concrete floors, they are essentially finished, and I couldn't use concrete fasteners to attach the bottoms of the jacks to the floor. In order to keep the jacks from kicking out from under the wall in the middle of the lift, I built a couple of small wood "sleds" for the jack bases to ride on. I tied the "sled" to the bottom of the walls with 1/4" steel cables, via a 3/4" hole drilled in the center of & about 4" from the bottom of the 2x6 stud inline with the jack. I propped the bases of the walls up with blocks in order to clear the anchor bolts, and they dropped right down on them. We use a 12# sledge to bump the base of wall into final position over the bolts, then removed the blocks. It worked great. Be sure to use a tag line, or some other way to stop over-travel. The wall will tend to try to fall away from the jack into and beyond the vertical position when it gets to within about 10 degrees from plumb at the end of the lift. Also VERY important!! Be sure the 2x4" used for the jack posts are flawless!! No knots or cross grained wood. You need very straight grain. These posts will have a lot of load on them, especially at the halfway part of the lift. Failure of one post will likely cause failure of the other one and at the very least damage your wall and possibly smash someone like a flyswatter. So be careful always stay out from under overhead loads. If used correctly these things are awesome. ## Frequently Bought Together - Qualcraft 2601 Portable Wall Jack, for Use with 1-1/2 X 3-1/2 in Fir Poles Or 1 in Od Steel Pipe, Malleable Iron, Red - Diablo DS0912BW25 Demo Demon 9 in.
