Ive just started renting a large barn/unit its 160ft long and 45ft wide its bloody massive.

Just put 12 cubic meters of concrete down on the floor and still need another 8 or so to make it workable!!

Just wondered what the going rate for space is as this is very cheap indeed, a cracking find with a tidy up ill have a mint workshop for my escort and quads

Ill get some pics sorted

 

Where abouts are you mate? Wanna share, sounds perfect lol some people have all the luck

 

I rent a similar size barn 130ft x45ft inc limited leccy for about £250 per months no extra bills. If I were you I would build a strong room in there, I learnt the hard way by being nieve about tools etc. I had a break in just over a year ago I lost £8500 in snap-on tools and had my land rover and group a escort stripped in one night . I now take my tools home every night and have bought an alarm witch has a sim card in it and rings or texts five saved numbers until you reset the alarm. It's hard to get insurance on theft from farm buildings. It's still the best value for money tho without the brake in.

 

i need a unit but cant find anything local to me

 

Me too ran, where do u even start???

 

just had a quote for 300 quid per month for a two car unit with a mezanine floor - is that expensive or about right?

Its a bit more than what im currently paying for two lock up garages but the unit has electricity and is more secure too.

 

im renting a unit 40 foot long , and about 20 foot wide , single and three phase , water and leccy included ..in essex ... 200 a month

 

1000sq ft costs me £300 pm.

 

Ive got about 400 sq ft, paying £575 a month!!

 

with all the recent units getting broke into and cars stolen i would think twice before i posted any pics or details just my opinion

 

1800sq ft for £200p/m not inc electric

Moving in this month, will be nice to have somewhere to store more than one bloody car !

 

I've been looking for a while now for a unit near Southend. They're all dreamers with the price, or just too small. Grrr.

Matt

 

25ft x13 , secure , leccy ,water ,wifi inc ,

not massive , but £100 pef calendar month , if it comes off ,

ohh with decked out loft for storage ,

 

How you manage that

 

Lucky I guess. I do know the owner quite well which helps.

 

Exactly my thoughts im not even telling my mates its a secret between a few friends and only my quad mechanic!!! Not risking my tools and my quads....mind you with the ground anchors ive just made they will do well to get my quads but you can never be too acrefull!!

My mates dad runs a security business and were looking into the alarm that sends a text out

You can never be too carefull can you people!!

Seems like im paying about the going rate for a barn.

Better get securuing it asap

 

A Alarm that sends a text out is no good, not unless your text alert is very loud.

Ours calls us and plays a recorded message, its had a few moments where something has tripped a PIR but atleast it proves it works, you can have upto 4 peoples numbers stored in it too so it will call the 1st number then 2nd etc..

I find it strange that everyone doesn't use these now, the B5JAM Escort was sat somewhere that had no security whatsoever, had they of had a alarm with a dialler someone may of been on the scene quick enough to prevent it going anywhere, I'm sure this could be said about many units and break ins.

You don't need a phone line for all of them either

 

i have also been thinking about this recently. i know it sounds stupid but how do you find out about places like this? i search for stuff when i can at work but just doesnt seem to be anything sutable. Is it a good idea to get in contact with the council or is there ways i dont know of. would be really interested to find out!

 

generally i think its word of mouth i pay £150 for my unit its about 2 and a half cars deep and 2 cars wide

 

ive got a barn ive been offerd but tbh with what i earn i cannot afford it even tho its fuck all, trying to get my bro to go in on it with me 50/50 on rent. its 900 sq ft and is £1 a foot per year so £900 a year lol still pritty cheap lol
