I did that once... If you want it climate controlled by the time you insulate it and install a descent floor in it the cost ended up being way more than a used shelter at the time. That was when you were still able to get some Nextel shelters for free if you payed to have them removed from the site. You will probably be able to pick up even more now with T-mo and sprint collapsing footprints, but who knows Sprint wasn't keen on shelters and T-mo your lucky to have a full cabinet.

I just happened by the one near me I was driving buy and saw rows of them lined up in a lot along with portable buildings, and temp construction trailers. A good resource would probably be to find out who the ATT Turf Vendors are in your area. They will have sold them off to someone at some point. You can sometimes give them your information and get  a good deal when they get a site demo.

The market used to be vast. It seems less so now.

I'm certainly open to finding more sources as well.


For lower-strand count lines (say where I have IRUs), I'm really trying to avoid just a regular cabinet, but...

*Subject: *[AFMUG] used telecom shelters

I want a larger central office.  The building I installed is nice, had 4 roof mounted HVAC units, had an elevated door to make it flood resistant, sump pump etc.  Very nice building.  Just too small. Been looking at the used telecom shelter sites and some of them don’t even tell you where the units are.
Anyone have a favorite broker?
