Garage wanted in Portsmouth

Tim M · 17 January 2006, 19:18

I really want to rent a garage in the Portsmouth area to keep my rib and a few other things (bike etc) in. I've looked in the local advertising papers etc but havnt' been able to find anything. From what I hear garages for rent around here are like gold-dust.

Does anyone have any suggestions?

Same problem in most places these days - see if there is a local storage facility using containers - place near me doing that - works out at £100 per month but prob lot more in your area???

In marinas they hire you a container (or let you put your own in) and the ground it sits on usually for about a pound per foot per week each. therefore a thirty foot container would be about 240 a month

a container in a lorry yard or a farm however do be a lot chaeper to store you can buy a thirty foot sea conatiner for under a grand.

Theres a trucker cafe in a truck yard/ truck wash in the arse end of Langstone. It's very close to the Hanson aggregates yard and the Council tip. you might try sniffing round there see what's on offer

I've always had good luck looking in the window of local news agents

Best not accept any offers of a ride though......

I think my idea of cost is wwhhheeyy out of line with what seems to be the going rate down here. Back in Norfolk you can rent a standard sized garage for about £50 a month.....

Matts right or you could try an ad Free ads

I've had a few garages local to me for 50 quid a month, and I'm as muchj in the civilised world as portsmouth is. "Grannies" who no longer drive and want a bit of extra cash seem to be the most common. Of course, you never know how long they can rent it out for.

i dunno if you'd get an Artic in a standard garage. Andy Stevens might now a place he's a bit of a local yokel

Tim M · 25 January 2006, 22:09

This is for my 4.1.....

Rogue Wave · 26 January 2006, 07:47

Oh in thatcase free ads might well work or have a look for one of Mat's grannies

Point of clarification Mr Wave, shipping containers are 20ft or 40ft generally not 30.
