Vertical bikes racks

As mentioned we're planning to convert our integral garage to give a fourth bedroom. Part of the conversion will involve replacing our 6' x 8' shed with an 8' x 12' shed. The primary use of the larger shed will be bicycle storage. I have in mind a vertical bike rack to maximise the space.

What have other people used and can anyone recommend anything?

I'm on a budget so lower cost is better, but if a dearer solution gives a longer term answer then money will be moved from elsewhere to do it. The shed will be timber and I'm happy to add braces onto which o secure the rack.

If you mean vertical as in stood up on its back wheel? Id just go for a few of these, just screw to the wall at whatever height for whatever bike.

This is what I used in my shed, nice and cheep but works well, just one on each front wheel
I spent some time getting the height so the back wheel is just touching the ground, more to make it easier to hang the bike than for any other reason

I got something similar from Halfords a few years ago, I used three of them side by side and alternated which way up the bikes were to get them into a tight space. No problems with hanging the bikes from the rims like that.

Or you could just hang a length of metal tube across at about head height near the back of the shed and hang the bikes side by side by the saddles....

Thanks all - similar to what I'd found on eBay - low cost is the way forwards. One important factor is that the kids 10, 8 and 8 can get their bikes on and off them safely (and don't leave the bikes outside for me to tidy up.

sdh2903 and Toys2 - your links look like the sort of thing I'm after. A decent piece of timber across the inside wall and they should do the job.

It's fair to say that losing my garage is a big downer for me, but I can't afford to move so life goes on.

^^^

Those would also do the job and unless I can persuade my two sons to reduce their bike count from two each to one each I'm going to need a total of eight (family of five and too many bikes

)

These look exactly like the ones I had - they came with very beefy screws which I put straight into the wall (brick) - I had 3 x road bikes hanging up in a space about 1 metre wide - you just had to be a little careful getting each one out - but they were a great solution.

They do look ideal for my needs - kids might need "educating" when it comes to using them - one of life's many lessons I think.
