I am looking at building a new shed to store 4 bikes and the usual tools / garden stuff etc.

I am thinking of storing them vertically agasint the end wall on something like the Leonardo Wall Mount Hook and then chaining them up to an anchor point.

My question is, how much width would 4 bikes take up using Leonardo Wall Mount Hooks? Or is there a better solution to store them vertically?

Cheers

    Store them top and tail fashion. I can get 8 bikes hanging like that about the length of a tandem stored underneath . I think mine are at 15" spacing
    Recipe: shave legs sparingly, rub in embrocation and drizzle with freshly squeezed baby oil.

    is it actually safe to hang the bikes by thier wheels though? Will the wheels not distort due to the wieght of the bike hanging from it?

    No, they are immensely strong.

    Like they distort from the weight of a rider on them....?
