Default Where to store hardtop?

Recently became a jeep owner and I am planning on taking the jk to the beach on sprink break. What I am wondering is if I take the top off at the condo where can it be stored? I'm asking because i am sure someone has done this before. Thanks and it's a hard top would like to have a soft top by then but doubt that's gonna happen.

I had a hoist when I had a hard top. I just left it hanging. Of course I am 5' 6" and the bottom of the top sat at about 6' up.

Put it in your living room. Lots of soft tops for Sale at reasonable prices.

At a Condo? That is tough. You can buy a dolly that holds the top in an up-right position ( hope you do noy have any stairs ). Then just wheel it inside. I store my top on a trailer. But no lock since it is in my back yard. Maybe rental storage?

Thought about rental. I'm worried also about leaving the top off at night unattended. This is my first jeep so I am new to all this.

Probably not a good idea to leave it unsecured.

I figured that guess i just need to go ahead and get a soft top. Any advice on a good soft top? Won't be using it nearly as much as the hard top so don't need a real expensive one.

Trek Top NX. My opinion best top out there. Easy On, Easy off

when i had an apartment we used to keep it up against the wall in the dining room. takes up some space but then you don't have to worry about it.

I like the trektop NX.
As for the hard top leave it inside while you're gone. DO NOT leave it outside or it will most likely be gone when you get home.
Storage if you can afford it is a good idea.
