🔧 DIY Tips
Installing bike racks yourself? Here's what matters:
🔧 What you'll need
- Racks and fixings
- SDS drill for concrete
- Tape measure
- Level
📐 Installation steps
- Mark out positions (1m centres typical)
- Drill holes for anchors
- Install chemical or expansion anchors
- Bolt down racks
- Check all secure
⚠️ Key considerations
- 1m between stand centres
- 2.5m from wall for access
- Ground anchors must be strong
- Avoid slopes if possible
💡 Pro tip: Chemical anchors are more secure than expansion bolts and cope better with the sideways forces from locked bikes.

Frequently Asked Questions
What surfaces can you install on?
Concrete, tarmac, block paving - most hard surfaces work. Soft ground needs different approach. We assess the surface and use appropriate fixings.
How many bikes per metre?
Standard Sheffield stands fit 2 bikes and need about 1m between centres. We can advise on layout to maximise capacity while keeping usability.
Do you supply the racks?
We can source racks or install ones you've bought. Sheffield stands are most popular - simple, effective, and relatively cheap. Other styles available.
Can they be moved later?
Floor-fixed racks are permanent. If you need flexibility, surface-mount options exist but are less secure. We can advise on best approach for your situation.
