This simple homemade will be useful to all those who love to ride a bike, but experiencing a lot of inconvenience with its storage. With the onset of spring, this problem has become relevant again, especially when in the family is not one, and 3 or 4 bicycles. Of course, if you have a private house with a large territory, then the question where to put the entire two-wheeled technique is unlikely to occur. And if the expanses of your dwelling are very scarce and climb, no longer wanting tiny free meters? On this score there is a solution, and very simple and rational.
In this article, we describe in detail how to simultaneously contain seven bikes at once in a small garage, practically without taking space!
Required materials and tools:
List of materials:
- Wooden plank;
- steel plumbing pipes and corners;
- steel flanges - pipe holders;
- rubber chamber from the wheel of the bicycle;
- self-tapping screw;
- Dowel-nails;
- tape;
- impregnation or varnish for wood.
List of tools:
- Circular saw or ordinary manual saw;
- screwdriver;
- Perforator;
- Ribbon grinding machine or sandpaper.
Step 1. Preparation of the base
Any wooden board will be used as the basis of this design. Even the boards from old pallets are suitable. Determined with the base, process the surface with a ribbon grinding machine or emery paper of different grain. The finish surface must be smooth, smooth, without chipping. Cut the corners of the board with circular saw or the usual manual, as shown in the image to create a more original type.
We impregnate the workpiece with oil, the veil or varnish coated.
Step 2. Working with pipes
For the manufacture of the bracket, classical water pipes are used that are sold in any plumbing store. The diameter of the pipes depends on your preference, but in this example, inch pipe sections, corners, caps-mallets and flanges holders are used. The length of the vertical pipe emanating from the wooden base is 8 cm, vertical - 7 cm. Collect the bracket, as shown in the figure, but do not rush to fasten the flanges, they will be attached separately to the board.
Step 3. Installation of the base
If you seize several bike holders at once, it will not be superfluous to pre-put markings on the wall. It is recommended to use the blue isolent, having calculated the optimal distance between the bikes, based on the length of their steels.
To install the boards on the concrete wall of the garage or room, the usual dowel-nails 6x40 are suitable. We advise the top of the boards to mount on two dowel-nail, and the bottom to one, since the main load will fall up to the top.
Having completed work with the perforator, we take a screwdriver. Confinim flanges holders using self-tapping screws through consulting holes to a wooden base. Next, we screw the bracket prepared earlier to the flange. The pipe must be as twisted as possible, but it is strictly directed to the right side.
Step 4. Prevent the formation of unpleasant scratches
If you now hang the bike for the wheel to the metal bracket, the paintwork is unlikely to endure such a harsh interaction, as a result, unpleasant scratches on the rim and spokes will appear. Take an unnecessary cycling chamber and carefully wrap it bracket.
We advise the ends of the rubber to crop defects so that the end result looks neatly. To lock the winding, shove the edge of the cropped camera under the last layer, as shown in the figure.
Ready, now the rim and knitting needles threatens.
Step 5. Let the bike
The work is done. Suspend bikes for the front wheel to the bracket, take a few steps back, and enjoy your original, and most importantly in the invention.
