Inexpensive Bike Rack

While helping to organize the Olsen's garage, we needed to park bikes. Check this idea out using remnants of wood found in the Olsen's yard.



It was so easy; we made it up as we went.
The added shelf for helmets and bike pumps was a winner.
The bikes that were not used regularly were hung from the ceiling.

We used 2 1/2 inch wood screws for the project... screwing the rack together before mounting it on the wall.
I suggest you use a stud finder when mounting to the wall and put all screws into studs.
(It would also help to measure the height of the electrical outlet so you can avoid covering it up with the 2 x 4 or shortening the length of the shelf in order to avoid it.)
