Bike hooks fitted securely to your garage wall. Bikes stored vertically off the floor, garage space usable again, hooks mounted properly so they won't pull off.
Bikes Cluttering Your Garage Floor?
Can't park the car, can't walk through, keep knocking bikes over trying to squeeze past - sound familiar?
Wall hooks sort it in 30 minutes. Bikes go vertical on the wall, floor space comes back, garage works like a garage again.
💡 Pro tip: Vertical storage saves about 70% of the floor space compared to bikes laid flat. One wall can handle 3-4 bikes easily.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many bike hooks can you fit?
Usually 2-3 bikes per wall depending on your garage size. Each bike needs about 60cm of width when hung vertically. I'll work out the best spacing when I see your garage - no point cramming them too close if handlebars will clash.
Will bike hooks hold heavy bikes?
Yes - proper wall fixings will hold up to 25kg per hook easily. Electric bikes are heavier (20kg+) but still fine with correct mounting. I use appropriate wall plugs for your garage wall type.
How high should bike hooks be mounted?
Usually about chest to shoulder height - makes it easy to lift bike on/off without straining. For kids' bikes you might want them lower so they can get their own bikes down.
Do I need to supply the hooks?
Either way - I can supply basic heavy-duty bike hooks (adds about £5-10 per hook), or if you've bought specific ones already I'll fit those. Just needs to be suitable for wall mounting.
Can you fit them to my garage walls?
Almost always yes - brick, block, or timber frame walls all work. I use the right fixings for your wall type. Only problem is if you've got really flimsy plasterboard with no studs behind, but that's rare in garages.
