Build Your Own Simple Outdoor Bike Storage

The rack could look something like this.

Build your own simple outdoor bike storage.

Metal takes special tools and the components are not readily available. Ideally you should have plenty of room for your bikes whether you re storing them indoor or outdoor. Besides wood pvc pipe has to be one of the best materials for building makey things. Somewhere between bike lockers and conventional storage sheds you will find storage units specifically designed for housing bicycles like the one pictured above.

Thank you to the home depot for sponsoring this video. The only real option most people have is to build a bike shed out of wood. You can expect to spend a minimum of several hundred dollars and more likely more than 1 000 for this type of unit. Use a saw to cut the components from 2 4 lumber.

It seems there would be an infinite number of ways to build a bike rack from pvc pipe and this double bike rack is a good place to start. As you can easily notice in the diagram you need to cut the components at the right dimensions. Let s assume for now that there s room for them outside. However building a bike shed from wood only takes common hand tools that most people have in their garage or they can borrow from a friend or neighbor.

Align the edges with attention and make sure the corners are square.
