Turning an unused storage room into rentable storage lockers

Turning an unused storage room into rentable storage lockers

Investor · Los Angeles, CA · Member since 2015 · 13 posts · 3 votes

I have a fairly large storage room in my 20 unit apartment that is only being used to store some materials and a few tools. I'm thinking of clearing it out and installing multiple lockers/cages. I was wondering if anyone has ever done something similar before? Any suggestions on such lockers/cages or where to look?

    I’ve always seen it done with 2x4s, and either chain link fencing or chicken wire fencing. Easy peasey!

    @Mike McCarthy Any thoughts on dimensions and what you get for them per month?  I've got a vacant 2 bay garage on one of my 2 houses (across the street from one another) and have 6 college kids in each house.  Thinking of building 12 units with lumber and chickenwire.

    @Matt McCue no idea how much, but I’d imagine for college kids it’ll be less - since they probably have less stuff to store. 

    Have you looked into renting it as a storage space for a non-renter? Again, no idea what the price difference would be, but I know storage units are all the rage these days. If a contractor needs some storage space closer to home, it might be a good use.
