As was suggested one of those put together modular safes or...A Job Box.
The gun safe of two apartment dwellers I know of. Anything to keep it out of the garage! |

Job box.
Probably more secure than a cheap safe. |

In my old house I had a side room in my basement garage. It was 2 inches lower than the rest of the basement floor. Three or four times a year it would rain enough for water to seep into the cinder block walls. I had a Browning vault sitting on pavers to hold it above the water line... in 2 inches of standing water!
It happened every year for five years. I had a Goldenrod in it and never even had a hint of rust. |

In a garage it's easy to just steal the whole safe.
It's been done before plenty of times. Basement is where you want it. |

I would anchor it to the slab with concrete lag bolts or butterfly anchors. Plus I am looking at a 30-40 gun safe, 1300lbs.

I have a liberty fat boy in my upstate NY garage.
Not air tight Not temperature regulated I have a XL golden rod and the peet hot air dryer and 2 rechargeable dissicant wall pliggerins. No problems what so ever. Humidity is very low. Temp stays good through the winter. When you mount to the floor put 4 12 inch by 12 inch 1/4 inch plywood squares under the safe where the holes will be drilled for the anchor bolts. My mom went to school with the local liberty dealer so he made sure I did I correctly. |

I thought about putting my 24 gun safe in the garage at my new apartment. But it's Houston, they would ruin.
My apartment is on the second floor, so moving the safe upstairs was daunting at first. Until I discovered powered dollies. Rented a 1500 furniture dolly from sunbelt rentals for $100. It has large wheels and an electric motor. It literally climbs the stairs one step at a time. Took me ten minutes to get the safe up a flight of stairs.  Moving a Huge 800lb. Gun Safe upstairs in Los Angeles Disregard the soft core pron music. |

I have mentioned it before but I have always wondered about gutting an old upright piano and using it as a gun storage cabinet...
Kind of a hide in plain sight thing. Most of them have a locking keyboard cover and if you hide releases for the top and bottom panels in there not to mention where the keys used to be could make a great pistol storage area. Just a thought.... |

Mine is in my garage. I have a 30 watt heater that is thermal limited. It keeps the interior temp about 10* warmer than ambient which keeps condensation from forming. I also use Corrosion X on my blued guns. If I carry a cold gun into the house, I make sure it fully warms up and is dry. I haven't had any, as in not one rusting issue with my guns. Ohio climate isn't too much different than Western Virginia.
