Default Hard top storage - WHERE?

I don't have a garage but I want to take the hardtop off and store it somewhere. I've looked at sheds ($) and public storage ($$). I thought about leaving it outside but stink bugs etc. get into everything.
Just figured if anyone would know of something it would be here.
Thanks in advance.

I lived in apartment before I got my house and I would just leave it at a friends house for a couple days. Even my parents or gf parents house worked to. Or you could just sell it and stay topless

That's a thought but I have a soft top. Looking to store it for a few months.

Well unless you don't have the room or your gf or wife says no (Definitely know my gf would say no, thank goodness I have a garage ) just bring it in the apartment and put it in the corner or lean against the wall. .....Wipe it down good!

I pay $100 more for my garage for the reason that I cant put my hardtop in my apartment(2nd story). I might just get a cheap 15$ storage unit and skip the garage. $85 more towards mods a month

Unless you are worried about theft, the hard top will be OK outside. Bugs wont eat much.

Yep store it outside if it is secure. If you are worried about the bugs, dirt and weather get a roll of plastic and wrap it up. Hell, some food storage plastic like cling wrap (Saran wrap or similar) would do just fine.

That was the first thing I was thinking to keep the stink bugs out.
