Winter Storage

Post by rawsco » Wed Aug 05, 2015 1:43 pm

Just starting to think about options with respect to winter storage in central belt end of September/October when the cold nights start hitting us. I have no garage. I've an option on my old boys garage but it would rely on him finding a place for or parting with all his kak that's in there which more than likely is not feasible. If its not I'm going to need to source some storage, any recommendations from team SE at sensible 'non supercar' rates! I figure if it costs less than what I spend on fuel every month that passes man maths.

Don't have a definitive answer but keep an eye out for advert cards in local shops etc. My Dad got a great lockup recently like this. :-)

That's great to know - Perth is not too much of a trek either, might be in touch at winter time as it doesn't do it much good outside. :thumbsup

I rent a garage from the council for just over £8 per week. Depending on what area you request there could be a waiting list but I got one pretty quickly.

Outdoor cover not an option? I have a specialist cover felt lined that does the trick.
