Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Ideal meat pole height?

What is the ideal height for a meat pole to skin deer? I have used bar rafters with a block in the past to pull them up and skin. Don't remember how though. I am having an outside garage built for my atv's and want to run the roof beam out a few extra feet over the lab to skin deer. I want it high enough but don't want the building any large than otherwise necessary. I am thinking 12' minimum. Would that be plenty or is 15' better?

Thanks.
