Default Suggestions for a Bike Storage Stand

Hi all,
I am currently renting, and am not able to drill holes into the garage wall to mount my bikes.

There is this Minoura bike pole thing, http://www.bikesportz.com.au/produc...play/tower.html, but at over $200 ..

Anyone come across a cheaper way of making a similar setup which does not involve drilling into the walls or ceiling?

Thanks in advance

Try Bunnings for the Hills pot plant one.

Hills Pot plant holders are a spring loaded floor to ceiling pole with protrusions to hold plant pots. (Hills are the people who make washing lines - hoists) We think they should be below $50

I use one of these:

About $120-140 or so - I picked it up for $90 when DirtWorks were having their moving sale last year.

I'm in the market for another stand, and the pot plant one suggested by Little Jackie sounds like a real bargain...

Sorry to disappoint you. George was the one who made the original suggestion, I just expanded to save him having to do all the typing.

Hi George,
Thanks for the heads up, but I checked Deanwoods, and cant find that stand on the speicals section.

But I am slowly coming to my senses ... I need to move from a two car household to a one car household, so that the garage is adequate for the bikes

You're right! It's back under "bike storage": http://www.deanwoods.com.au/store/prod158.htm
