Being able to quickly and easily hang your bike up on a hook, so that it’s out of the way, is a win. But is it as quick and easy to put up the bike hooks? Yes, it is! We often procrastinate organising things with a little DIY because we think it will take a long time. The irony is that it often takes more time in the long run to find what you need as you inevitably shuffle things around without really organising anything. Not to mention the frustration of dealing with too much stuff that gets in the way. Time to get your bike off the floor and off your mind with these four super simple steps to put up bike hooks.
What you need
Before you get started, you’ll need these basic tools. If you don’t have these tools, why not borrow from a friend or neighbour?
- Spirit level
- Pencil or marker
- Tape measure
- Drill
4 super simple steps to put up bike hooks
1. Decide where you want your track and hooks to go
If you’re using your track and hooks to hang up bicycles then make sure the track is high enough off the ground for the bikes to hang down. Also, consider where the best place is for your bicycles to be stored – you probably won’t want your muddy bike to hang in your bedroom. A good place is usually the garage or a covered outdoor area.
2. Measure and mark the first hole
You know what they say: measure thrice, check twice and drill once.
3. Drill a hole into the wall and secure the track to the wall
Use a spirit level to ensure your track is straight, and drill the second and third (or more) holes to secure the track in place
4. Follow the same steps for each track and then add your hooks
Once your tracks are in place, you can simply slide the bike hooks into position. It’s so easy to arrange the hooks as required.
