How far apart do I hang each rack?Updated 5 months ago

Spacing your racks depends on whether you want to save floor space, wall space, or a bit of both. We've created a handy Wall Placement Guide to help. 

Save Floor Space 

If you want to save floor space, you will need to hang your racks further apart so you can utilise the pivot to fold them closer to the wall. If you want to fold them over as much as possible then it’s best to space them far enough apart so that bikes won’t touch the rack next to it when its folded. 

Save Wall Space 

If you want to save wall space, you can hang them closer together. Note, the closer they are to each other, the less they will be able to pivot before touching the bikes either side of the one you are accessing. You may also need to stagger the heights (one up and one down) to avoid the handlebars touching each other. The good thing about our design is that you can put your bikes as close as 350mm apart and in some instances even closer, but you can still create an access space by pivoting the bikes either side.

Save Both

We have found that spacing your racks all the same height and about 600mm or 2 feet apart will give you a bit of both. The bikes can be folded over the top of each other but will only protrude into your floor space about half as much as they would if they were at right angles. Often that means you can get a car into your parking space alongside your bikes.
