Bicycle storage organized in your garage. Wall hooks or racks fitted properly so bikes are off the floor and your garage space is usable again.
Garage Full of Bikes Living on the Floor?
You know the frustration - can't park the car properly, can't walk through without climbing over bikes, pedals scraping your shins every time you squeeze past.
Family of cyclists = garage becomes a bike park with no actual organization.
Get them on the walls properly and suddenly your garage is a garage again, not an obstacle course.
💡 Pro tip: Vertical wall hooks save way more space than horizontal. A bike hung by its front wheel only takes up about 40cm of wall width vs 180cm lying on the floor.

What to Expect
Step 1: Space Planning
I work out the best positions - which bikes where, how to get maximum storage while keeping them accessible.
Step 2: Secure Mounting
Drill and fix hooks or racks to your walls using proper fixings for the wall type. Needs to hold bike weight solidly.
Step 3: Organization
Hang bikes up, adjust any heights, make sure you can get each one down without having to move three others first.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to do it yourself? Here's the approach:
🔧 Tools needed
- Drill and appropriate bits
- Wall plugs and screws (heavy duty)
- Spirit level
- Stud finder (timber walls)
- Bike hooks or racks
- Pencil and tape measure
📏 Installation steps
- Lean bikes against wall where you want them
- Mark hook positions at practical heights
- Check spacing so handlebars don't clash
- Drill holes, use proper plugs for wall type
- Screw hooks in securely
- Test with bikes - should feel solid
⚠️ Common mistakes
- Hooks too close together (bikes clash)
- Wrong fixings for wall (pulls out)
- Too high for family to reach
- Not considering which bike goes where
💡 Pro trick: Stagger the heights slightly so you can fit bikes closer together without handlebars hitting. One bike high, next one 15cm lower, repeat.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🚲 Multiple storage jobs? If you're doing bike hooks plus shelving or tool storage, doing it all together saves on the call-out cost.
Ceiling storage better? For rarely-used bikes (kids' old bikes, winter bike), ceiling hoists work great. For daily-use bikes, wall hooks are faster to get down.
Expensive bikes? Some people prefer enclosed bike storage for expensive road bikes. I can mount wall racks inside a shed or cupboard if that's your preference.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's included in bicycle storage setup?
I assess your garage space and how many bikes you've got, then install wall hooks or racks to get them all stored properly. Usually wall-mounted hooks are best - lifts bikes vertical to save floor space. Takes about an hour for 2-3 bikes.
How many bikes can you store?
Depends on your wall space but usually 3-4 bikes comfortably on one garage wall using vertical hooks. For families with loads of bikes, we might use ceiling storage or staggered wall mounts.
Will it work on my garage walls?
Almost certainly - brick, block, timber frame all work fine. I use proper fixings for your wall type so the bikes won't pull the hooks off. Each hook needs to hold 15-20kg so proper fixing matters.
Do I need to buy the hooks myself?
Either way works. I can supply basic bike hooks (adds about £10-15 per bike to the cost), or if you've bought fancy ones already I'll fit those. Just needs to be wall-mountable.
Can kids get bikes down themselves?
For smaller kids, probably not if bikes are on wall hooks - they're usually chest height or higher. But teenagers and adults can. Some people have low hooks for kids' bikes and high ones for adult bikes.
