Important question is what do you plan on putting up there? Typical ones like the one you got a quote on are rather unstable. Imagine climbing those with your hands full of stuff.
There is another system which is electric powered and far more expensive, like 4,000.
Storing stuff up there. It is not climate controlled-hot. Also, the floor is designed for limited weight. I'm sure the villages offices can tell you how much it is designed to hold.
