inline4 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 how much do you guys pay and where do you store your wares? I would love to store my car somewhere, but it just doesn't seem economical. Quote Link to comment
Jayden71 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have a 2 car garage attatched to the house and out back have another small garage full of Datsun parts. My blue 521 is in the garage and mah longbed 620 trailer and other 521 sit out back in front of the wood shed :D . Its all included in the monthly mortgage payment! :lol: Quote Link to comment
mike Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 Look around at rental apartments, alot of people dont want the garages. Just compare prices of storage units and you can usually barter a price. If youre handy with home repairs you might be able to get one for free if youre "on call" for the little shit that always goes wrong. Quote Link to comment
RAlly_DatoB210 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have an abundace of shop space at my rental house so I am renting it out. One friend gives me 25 bucks a month to park his Mazda in my yard and a rented the shed for ten a month to hold my dads friends bikes motorcycle and riding lawn mower. The extra cash is nice Quote Link to comment
datsun65 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 In the bay area, it is not economical. I used to live in San Mateo, Ca and had three Datsuns, but only a one car garage. I was able to rent two spaces from a gentleman who had a classic car collection in a large warehouse, but the cost was steep at $125, per car, per month. ANd... this was @ 50% off the normal price (Since the Datsuns were so small). Plus, I didn't have a key to the facility, or direct access. The only time I could get in was via appointment. Here in Texas, I rent an enclosed storage unit close to my home. The unit is 9x30, with a small single head light bulb and two wall sockets (for battery tenders). The storage unit can easily fit two datsuns, and tons of parts. Cost is $95 a month. Quote Link to comment
qwik510 Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I have too many cars and not enough garage spaces so I take one of my cars to my cousins repair shop. He stores it there for me for the winter months. It sits outside in the summer. I tried using one of the temporary garage structures but last winter's snow caved it in. If I was to buy one again, it would have to be the domed type. Lots of people are hurting for cash and you may be able to rent someone's garage space. Quote Link to comment
dennis Posted February 21, 2011 Report Share Posted February 21, 2011 I pay 80.00 a month with my apartment complex to have a 1.5 (long) garage. It is very tight (that's what she said) but we just bought a house and it has a three car garage. Quote Link to comment

inline4 Posted March 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 If I rent a space/shop in either the south or east bay area of san francisco, does anyone have any interest in storage for their cars from me? Quote Link to comment

Colbino Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 I was able to find shop space for $90 a month (per car) in Benecia. You should be able to find some space. Keep checking CL and something will eventualy pop up. Quote Link to comment
sinner720st Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 i have one of those car canopies, 10'x20' and my brother has one, both at my parents house... next weekend we are going to push them together and put sheet metal on roof instead of the tarps they come with, and gutters, walls, doors, and insulation, it does help that i work at an architectural sheet metal shop, i will just make my own metal (its cheaper that way) we will end up with a twenty by twenty shop, i think we have parts for a third one so i could have a twenty by thirty shop... the sheet metal should only cost me about $200... labor is free if you do it yourself. i would imagine you dont have much of a yard where you live or else you could just add a lean-to to the side of your house, for very cheap. you could do it yorself also Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 4, 2011 Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Oh yeah...I have a 2-car garage at my house and a shed out back full of Datsun parts (they tend to multiply) and lawn equipment :lol: Quote Link to comment
