Over Bonnet
Storage for
Apartment Living.

Over bonnet storage — also called above car storage, over car storage or simply bonnet storage — is a steel storage unit that stands on adjustable legs above the bonnet of your parked car. It uses the empty air in front of your vehicle, so you keep the full parking bay and gain enclosed storage in a car park that has no storage cage of its own.

The same product goes by a few names. You'll see above car storage units, over car storage units, over car bonnet storage, an above bonnet storage or over bonnet storage locker, over the bonnet storage, or in a townhouse, garage over bonnet storage. Plenty of people write it as one word — overbonnet storage. Strata and body corporate paperwork usually calls them car park storage units, and some buildings say over bonnet storage cages. They all describe a raised locker that sits over your bonnet.

The Kookaburra over bonnet storage unit is $1,749. Delivery and professional installation are priced separately and itemised in your written quote, so you can see exactly what you are paying for before you commit.

No. A car park storage cage is a mesh enclosure the building constructs on common property — fixed in number, rarely available once the building is finished, and absent from most apartment car parks. An over bonnet unit is a freestanding apartment car park storage unit you own outright, installed in your own bay, with closed steel panels rather than open mesh, so it also shields your gear from dust and dirt. It takes no floor space, and it moves with you.

In most cases yes. The Kookaburra is freestanding and needs no drilling or permanent fixing to common property, which is the usual sticking point for strata car park storage. We provide a body corporate approval form and specifications you can submit to your committee.

It fits many apartment and townhouse car parks. The unit is 2.35m long and 1.0m wide, and is height adjustable from 2.05m to 2.35m. We confirm your ceiling height, bay length and vehicle measurements through our free compatibility check before you order, so nothing is ordered that will not fit. It works the same way in a townhouse lock-up, where apartment garage storage otherwise means shelving that blocks the walkway.
