Concept Overview & Spatial Design
A low, child-accessible floor stand made from furniture-grade 1.5-inch PVC piping or solid pine boards that holds 3 to 5 bikes upright by their tires.
Step-by-Step Installation Blueprint
-
Cut PVC pipe segments or $2times4$ lumber into base runners and vertical wheel divider slats.
-
Assemble vertical tire slots spaced 2 inches wide for road bikes and 2.75 to 3.5 inches wide for mountain/fat tires.
-
Secure joints with PVC cement or structural wood screws.
-
Position the floor rack along the front perimeter wall of the garage.
-
Roll front or rear tires directly into the ground slots; ideal for toddlers and kids who cannot reach wall hooks.
Pro Mechanic Tip
Weight the bottom PVC base pipes with dry play sand before gluing end caps on; the added weight keeps the stand firmly planted when kids pull bikes out.
