Hiding a gun cabinet / safe?

[ozone]

.

I live in a dorma bungalow and have access through a door into
the attic spaces so I have my purpose built safe bolted to the wall
in there. All the central heating pipes go back to the boiler in the same
space so I installed them around the safe with physical contact to
it to transfer some heat into the safe. The safe has been there nearly
ten years now and my guns are all in perfect condition.

I worked in a college and I got the fabrication department to construct
the safe to my specification out of 5mm plate steel and a 10mm plate
steel door. It is built for 10 rifles with scopes attached and weighs in
at over 230kg. The door is detachable and weighs 45kg.

I slid it up the stairs on its back with the door removed and manhandled
it into the roof space and then bolted it through a brick wall. The FEO
on seeing it did not waste his time with the pretence of trying to move it,
he just stated it would take a bulldozer to remove it.

Well that's an exceptional idea ozone but I clearly lack the patience and thought that went into that arrangement.

Brattonsounds in cupboards for me and I'm running out of places with access to an outside wall to bolt them. Living in a modern property my house is made of ticky tack.

I found a vault door on eBay and next house will have a cabinet neatly disguised as a bedroom.

I knew somebody who has an attached garage and he reinforce the back half of it with
reinforced concrete and then a safe door / vault door and he now has a purpose built
room half the size of a garage.

Cost a fortune though :)

I've toyed with that idea. Don't think you have to go as far as concrete but can use metal mesh.

As most modern garages seem to be designed for smart cars and mopeds seems a sensible use.

He was going to do it with mesh but after lining the wall with the stuff
he built a breeze block wall and poured cement in between and into the mesh.

Apart from his own labour it only cost a few hundred for the blocks and cement.
I don't know what he paid for the door or if it was new or second hand, but it
looked the business.
