Yet another bike shed

So, BareNecessities and Fox have awesome man caves. We just moved into our first house and it comes with a shed. Mine is much smaller but it's what you do with it that counts right?

This shed has to contain 5 bikes.
So here is how it was this morning: crappy shelves all the way round at shoulder height and full of shite:

Inspired by BareNecessities' bike hanger, I'm doing the same. This afternoon, I went to B&Q for parts, cleared the shite, unscrewed the shelves (thank fuck for electric screwdrivers) and attached two screw-in wall hooks with internal diameter about 25mm, rubber coated (can't find them on the website).

Then it started drizzling and I gave up until tomorrow.

Excellent. If you get five bikes in there I am going to have to up my game because I have five in mine currently.

After seeing BareNecessities' bike hanger yesterday I am considering doing the same, as I reckon with that method I could get five bikes across the width of my cellar, not four, which would make six in total.

I seriously don't know how anyone coped before electric screwdrivers.

I'm going to need a separate folder for all my bike shed/cellar subscriptions soon :-)

Much as I like the sliding hooks, it was spotter who I blatantly copied initially gave me the idea.

Good thread. I should probably do photos of mine, I'm currently mid way through the roof, but I have got the cycle storage finished

the pictured cross pieces are 6'6" and have since been removed/replaced for the new 8' ones.

I made progress on Sunday, but then had to go to the pub... Update soon!

So the hanger is up and works.

The longer hooks are too long to be useful and will be replaced once I can get to B&Q. I'm unlikely to make any progress for while, so the shelves, running shoes and tools will have stay in a pile on the floor.

Any recommendations for a tool board? I've got a few bits of plywood cos we disassembled a shitty cupboard so I was thinking of fashioning that into something. I've got about 1m of wall to play with.

Plywood will be fine for a tool board I should think. MDF probably slightly easier but since you've got a bit of ply, why not.

Make sure you draw around your tools with a black pen, and give them all names ;)

Here we go:

So you can just about fit 5 in there, but the last one is a bit of a stretch.

I've just noticed the above sounds really dodgy, so I'll emphasise that I'm talking about bikes!

With the recent man-has-sex-wtih-bicycle story it still sounds dodgy...

Glad I'm not the only one who found that funny, I giggled like a school girl.

Did I say recent? I meant 7 years ago...
