Addicted to Smallies Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Where do you guys keep your rigs? I ask because we're in a subdivision that doesn't allow us to keep boats on our property, so we have to keep ours at an offsite storage lot. (And yes, carrying the batteries back and forth is a real pain, BTW!) Just wondering if other folks face the same issue, or if most folks are lucky enough to have a garage big enough. If you store offsite, any good tips our suggestions for keeping life as easy as possible? Quote
Super User Fishes in trees Posted June 25, 2012 Super User Posted June 25, 2012 I live in a rural area, so I built a metal building big enough to keep my boat, fishing truck, assorted fishing equipment and other stuff. Quote
Super User Long Mike Posted June 25, 2012 Super User Posted June 25, 2012 I had a slab poured alongside my house and have the boat parked there. It won't fit in my garage and it sure beats parking it in the driveway. Quote
jerzeeD Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I have a gravel pad on the side of my house for my shed and in season boat parking. During winter, I have a 2nd story deck in the backyard. I just roll the boat under the deck and cover it to keep the snow out for the winter. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted June 25, 2012 Super User Posted June 25, 2012 My boat is a canoe - it's stored in a spare bay in my 3-car garage. I made a dolly for it so I can roll it around the garage. If I ever get a 3rd car, there is still room for all 3 cars and the canoe on the floor - but it would be tight. I would probably end up hanging the canoe from the ceiling in that case. Not consuming a garage space or being stored outside were two (of many) reasons why I went with a canoe instead of a boat & trailer... Quote
Super User 00 mod Posted June 25, 2012 Super User Posted June 25, 2012 I keep my boat in my backyard with a cover. It is a pain to roll it through the side yard, but have a trailer dolly for now. Next up is a concrete pad and drive to the back gate. Then it will be a piece of cake! Jeff Quote
tnriverluver Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 I keep my boat and camper under a metal carport on my large side lot next to my house. Never want to have to pay someone else storage fees plus it's nice to not have to go elsewhere just to get my property in able to use it. Locked up with as many heavy chains and padlocks as I can get on it also since I am not in the very best area. Quote
Zoff Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Live on a farm so right now it is in the driveway. When (if) I put it up for the winter it will go in the barn. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted June 25, 2012 Super User Posted June 25, 2012 I keep mine in an attached garage. Our subdivision regs will not allow boat storage in driveways. Quote
Super User Lund Explorer Posted June 25, 2012 Super User Posted June 25, 2012 We have a 32' x 40' x 10' pole barn that doubles as a garage for vehicles, boats, and other toys. Quote
Scooter1 Posted June 25, 2012 Posted June 25, 2012 Have a 24x30 garage to park the boat and truck inside. Better half has her one car attached garage to use for her car. Quote
