...... like canoes and kayaks close at hand if living in an apt. that has no yard space allowed for such .
A rental storage unit is a good idea for security and space requirements , but if it becomes a hassle to go load up because of distance , well it's a hassle then .
Most apts. (hopefully this persons') have a place where you can park trailered boats , campers , etc. . If so , it may well be worth the time , effort and expense for this person to rig up a multiple boat carry trailer that can be parked where they live in the apt. .
Rental storage units cost $$ , so would getting the trailer idea rigged up ... but at least the trailer for storage is close by and basically a one time expense .
As for security , lock down and covering , the imagination and readily available things are out there to deal with this aspect .
Think lots a boats on one trailer like an outfitter livery .
And for what it's worth , the trailer "does not" really have to be able to carry all these boats safely down the highway ... all need be is that it is a legally regestered trailer (even a light junker) that can be rigged just to store (hold) the boats on and never move !!
If I had a bunch of noes/yaks on a trailer in an apt. complex , I think I would find a way to put a nice looking cover over the whole deal to keep the neighbors happy and help eliminate nosey minds too .
The key here is if this person is fortunate enough to have trailer parking available at the apt. complex ??
Good Luck
