If I had a 20+ inch beauty I would want to use it as often as possible.
I presume you have some kind of observatory where your big scopes lives, all set-up and ready to go.

Keep my 25"f3.8 (only needs two steps at zenith), and 33"f4.1 (11 feet at zenith-still working on an idea for viewing platform for, 45deg Alt and above), in my 110m2 "Total span" garage/workshop.
Picture of 33" ready to roll out. Base board is wheeled. At age 71 "deployment" in and out of shed is not an issue, (easier to move than my "wheel barrowed" 25").
