Bike Hooks - Simple, Easy, and Cheap.. But Worth It?
The bike storage industry's best secret is a great set of hooks. You couldn’t dream up an easier project than these powerful little metal tools that are incredibly cheap, easy to install, and effective.
Compared to other forms of bicycle storage, they are also the least space-consuming option. Many more intrusive projects require a fair bit of wall or floor space, but hooks will only demand pilot holes in your walls or ceiling.
All in all, this simple system brings a whole lot more to the table than you might expect - but the strategy is not without its limitations. While they save you some wall space, they also come with absolutely zero bells and whistles attached. You won’t get much extra value from your set-up.
There are as many ways to store your bicycles as there are ways to plan out your garage itself, each with its own pros and cons. The end goal is always to keep your bike protected from the elements, and keep your bike away from your Honda Element. This support system is a tried and true way to get your bike tires out of the rain and off the floor without much fuss.
So let’s take a closer look at the easiest way to get your bikes off the ground, safe and sound. Whether you're looking for a singular vertical bike hook to lift some 29ers, or trying to rig up an entire wall's worth of heavy-duty bike hooks for the garage, let this guide be your stud finder.
First Thing’s First, What Are Bike Hooks?
It may look like a metal question mark jutting out of your wall mount, but a bike hook can act as the exclamation point that brings it all together.
Bike hooks for the garage are simple pieces of metal bent at a perfect angle to connect your bicycle to just about any capable surface. Sets of hooks that can attach easily to studs, ceilings, and wooden blocks are available right now at Home Depot and they might be the only thing on the market that can rival our Rackcycle in terms of an easy installation.
You should always check the capabilities of your chosen brand, but most bike hooks can handle between 25-50 lbs each. Their ease and efficiency make these hooks one of the more common ways to hang up a single bike. Mountain bikes, road bikes, gravel bikes, beach cruisers, kids bikes, unicycles, pick your poison - they can hang the best of them.
If you can imagine your garage bike storage as a closet, think of your hooks as your hangers. Not just any old hangers, either. An adjustable bicycle wall hanger that keeps gravity’s dirty hands away from your fresh drivetrain. All those clothes and bikes lying across the floor are now hung straight and out of the way.
You save valuable floor space and eliminate wrinkles, dust, and scratches from shortening the lifespan of your bikes. Straight from the wall with no unnecessary obstruction, bike hooks are bike racks simplified.
To sum it all up: bike hooks are the most space saving bike storage solution, and all they require for installation is a minute pilot hole and a bit of elbow grease.
So… What’s The Catch?
These space-saving delicacies are an interesting bike mount category because they have great strengths and serious weaknesses. We're optimists, so we focused first on the positives; but there are real limitations to a simple set of rubber hooks.
Bike hooks are small and sleek, disqualifying them from several essential roles in garage bike storage.
Most bike hooks cannot hang more than one bike, or even your bike and a helmet, from the same hook. You could quickly wind up with your bike in one corner and the tools you need to make it hum spread across the other three corners of the garage.
Basically, anything that couldn't be hung from the chimney with care, you won't be able to store using a bike hook, either. Gloves, shoes, chain lube and Clif bars will all have to find their own spot. It's not always a dealbreaker, especially if you'd rather save your bike repair work to the professionals or don't have the space to tinker with your bike in storage anyways.
Find Your Bike Hook Balance In Life
There are a few different ways to rest your rubber on bike hooks. These nifty tools can work by themselves for an incredibly simple bike storage solution either hanging from the ceiling or hooked up straight out of a wall. Other styles can come as part of a team, hooking up with a larger wall rack and locking your bike in place as part of a complete bike storage solution.
Your bike storage hooks are here to take a wheel off the ground and hang your bike either vertically or horizontally from the wall or ceiling. Regardless of your hanging style, bike hooks are all about the details. When less is more, each component must put in a bit of extra effort.
These hooks hang bikes using less of your wall’s surface area than any other wall mount system. Instead of your bike resting comfortably in a king-sized frame, your wheels are held by one finger, so make sure you're buying an index finger instead of a pinky.
The Best Hooks Are A Part of A Solid Support System
When dreaming up the best possible way to store bikes, we took a nice long look at bike hooks. They’re a classic solution to the often searched unintelligible question, ‘Bike storage solution garage?’ And as we already covered, there are very few garages that couldn’t use a few pilot holes.
But why stop with just the hooks?
We took the technology and teamed it up with a solid shelf, our proprietary mounting system, and a few padded arms to create the complete package. Our rackycle comes with two utility hooks, located just underneath two bamboo cradles (arms) that are gorgeous and incredibly strong.
These hooks are strong enough to hold your bikes up by their front wheel like any other option, but they work best for your helmet, hydration packs, jackets and all the other bits and pieces that go along with your bike.
It creates a complete one-stop shop that will allow you to keep everything exactly where you need it to be and get you out of your garage, stat. Daylight savings time isn’t making it any easier to squeeze a ride in after work, and you don’t want to waste time scouring the garage for your energy bars.
Bike utility hooks can store your bike well on your own, and as a part of a solid support system, (aka The Rackcycle) they can help create a complete bike storage solution.
Frequently Asked Questions about Bike Racks
There is much more to love about our Rackcycle, but you're here because you're already a little curious about bike hooks. Maybe you were checking out the bamboo and got hooked, or maybe this is day three of a searching binge looking to learn everything you can about the best simple bike storage racks.
No matter what brought you here, we're committed to talk about everything a heavy-duty bike hook can bring to single bike storage. Let's ask a few questions that may come up when deciding if they are right for you.
Do All Bike Hooks Require A Drill?
Not all bike hooks require a drill, but they probably should. Bike’s aren’t cheap, and the risk is just too high to justify taking shortcuts.
We advocate caution before trying to support bike storage racks entirely with bike hooks that don't require a drill or any sort of permanent installation into your wall. We can't beat physics, and we sure as hell don't stand a chance to beat gravity.
That means I would not trust a simple ‘S’ hook to get the job done. This style is almost two hooks in one, with one end grabbing onto a beam or exposed plank, and the other hooking your bike.
While you might get away with it for a while, wind, bumps or structural failure are far more likely to affect your bike rack without the additional support of a solid guide hole locking everything into place.
Hooks without a drill might function as part of an entire support system better than trying to hold your bike on its own. For example, if you team up with a quality freestanding bike rack or a ceiling rack, and you only want a tertiary hook to keep things from swinging, you can probably get away with an S-hook as a stabilizer.
When referring to the entire category, however, it's safe to say a drill is implied as a part of every secure installation process.
How Far Apart Should Bike Hooks Be?
Bike Hooks are strongest when mounted directly into studs but also at a distance that can either comfortably hold your bike’s top tube or the center of each wheel (if hanging it upside down from the ceiling). A stud is a thin timber support that usually runs the height of your walls every 16 inches. Unlike in high school gym class where studs are your friends (or your dodgeball nightmare), wall studs can lift much heavier weights than a piece of drywall and installing directly into a stud means a stronger setup without the need to use a drywall anchor.
The best bike wall mount in the business knows that the studs are the secret to getting some serious strength to hold your bicycle but often means that it will no longer be an adjustable bicycle wall hanger. Many bike hangers will build their products to stretch out so the stress points are aligned with those very studs themselves.
So, if you decide to hold your bicycle by the top tube, bike racks should be 16 inches apart, but of course, loads of variables will affect that number. It all depends on what particular style of bike hooks you invest in, how many bikes you need to store, and how much space you've got to store them all.
How Do You Mount Bike Hooks?
These bike mounts screw easily into any available ceiling or wall space in your garage. You can choose your own adventure and decide whether you’d like a vertical or horizontal technique, but you'll have the most success if you map out your wall space before you get your heart set on a style.
All you’ll need for installation is an electric drill and a bit that is about 2/3rds the diameter of your bike hook. Pre-drilling is always important and helpful for an accurate installation but don’t go bigger than 66% of your hook size when drilling to make sure that there’s enough material for the teeth to grab onto and your rack is locked into place.
With a pilot hole successfully drilled into your wallspace, you can screw in your hooks by hand. Make sure you use all your strength to get your storage system really locked into place.
Can All Bike Tires Be Hooked?
As long as you lock things into place on a properly studded section of free wall space and have educated yourself on the carrying capacity of your chosen set of hooks, you can hang whatever you want underneath that limit.
There is one catch! While your bike hooks will be able to support 25-50 lbs of just about anything that hangs on, there is a lot of weight resting on a small surface area, so it would behoove you to consider the durability of the materials you are hanging.
Any aluminum, titanium, or steel bike tire frame can grab onto any style of hook and hang there all winter long, but Carbon frames are a bit more delicate. You can probably get away with hanging a carbon frame on even the cheapest bike hooks, but most carbon bike frames are well over $3,000, so I’m not flirting with probably, I’d want a guarantee.
While bike hooks are cheap, decently strong, and easy to install, they’re generally best for hanging your bike from the ceiling and that can be great. However, if you are looking to store your bike horizontally on the wall, they can fall short. When designing our Rackcycle (and most of our other products), we’ve found that there’s always a need for more gear storage like bags, jackets, helmets, keys, water bottles, etc. which bike hooks simply don’t offer. So, if you’re sporting carbon bike rims, I would look towards a complete system with padded arms made from the strongest natural materials on the planet that doesn’t put all of the stress on the rim and, instead, the top tube. Maybe with a bike shelf above it and a few utility hooks below that creates more storage out of the same space. And I’d find a bike rack with a triangular design that invites multiple points of contact for good measure.
There are many different types of bike racks out there. While we believe very strongly that we have designed the best bike rack on the market in terms of style, function, and strength; ultimately, the choice is yours and depends heavily on the geometry of your bike and your home. So, take a minute to check out our Rackcycle and see what works best for you! Happy riding!

Yes. We. Can. Find Bike shed storage that fits.
We’re true shed believers. Before we go all in exploring the versatile storage an outdoor bike storage shed can bring to your bikes, we’ve got to get rid of the mentality that sheds are reserved for the backwoods.

Keep Your Bike In Mind when Building your Storage Shed
Even if by building we mean perusing the pre-built powerhouses over at the Home Depot, stroll and sketch out your shed with visions of bike storage in mind. All sorts of sheds can store a bike, but there are tons of traps and conundrums that can absolutely wreck your efficiency.
Some stud-free sheds won’t be able to lift up adult bikes using wall bike racks, which means you’ll have to take up valuable floor space storing your bike. Not only is floor space generally more coveted than wall space, it can also make it a real pain in the ass to take your bike out of storage, especially after a long winter’s hibernation.
It starts like this: you slip your bike up against the back wall, leaning one handlebar just so. There’s a clear path to and from, allowing you to get in and out in a hurry, so you get complacent with the setup.
Then, the leaves fall. A rake wouldn’t get the job done, so a leaf blower gets involved. In between blows, you can lean the thing up against the bike. Next is the big fall harvest. All the gardening tools are whipped out and the entire plot is healthy and happy heading into winter, but man! It’s exhausting work. I’ll just drop these on the storage shed floor and deal with it later.
The last step before the solstice is to schedule your winter tire swap. The shed’s a great spot for your summer set. All of a sudden, your bikes are so far removed from your shed door you can’t even see them when you first walk in. No, thank you.
While shed shopping, Get things taken care of one day one by focusing on secure bike storage that’s easy to access no matter how full your garden bike shed plastic is.
A Few Key Features Make A Great Indoor Outdoor Bike Storage Solution
Adult sized bikes require solid sheds. You'll find a lot of lean-to's and cracked ceilings that can protect some less technically advanced equipment, but when it comes time to store bikes, the stakes are a bit higher.
Completely Waterproof
Sheds delicately walk the line between inside and outside more than any other storage system out there. While nobody would intentionally design a leaky garage, some sheds don't mind leaving a few inches between the roof and the walls.
Bike storage sheds have to take extra precaution, as half the point of storing your adult bikes are to protect them from the elements. Even if no water is dripping directly onto your equipment, the humidity levels and general dampness that comes with a permeable set-up will begin to eat away at your bicycles mechanics.
Two Easy to Secure Entrances
When designing ways to access bikes and particularly gnarly sections, Don't overlook your exit strategy. The second door in your shed can work as a runaway truck ramp and make it easy to slide adult bikes in and out of storage.
While this feature is far from a necessity, we're dreaming here. Bike sheds should never include only one bicycle, and eventually, as your adult sized bicycle collection grows, you're going to start rubbing handlebars.
Wooden bike storage with two doors will guarantee there is no such thing as an out-of-reach far corner and consistently get you out the door faster, no matter which one you choose.
Sturdy Walls
Eventually, you'll want to get your bike off the ground and onto a wall rack. You may fight it, but there always comes a time when the floor becomes cluttered, and the wheels need a break, even if it's just to grease up the chain.
When the time comes to store bikes and break out the stud finder, you'd better hope there are some studs to find. Bike sheds are much easier to build than renovate, so opt to take the extra time to make sure your walls can easily support a bike or two.
The Final Step is securing your Bike Storage In Shed with the Right Bike Rack
Just as important as your home's raw materials is the furniture you place inside it. Without a proper wooden bike storage system, there's no shed out there that won't be more than a wide open space ready to be full of clutter.
There is a better way to do bike storage in shed, and it's called The Rackcycle.
Grassrack's signature way to store and access bikes and bike accessories takes advantage of the earth's natural materials to provide versatile storage that looks as good as its locks. Capable of supporting everything from training wheels to larger bike tires, the Rackcycle is a perfect companion for bike storage in a shed and may just be the perfect bike wall mount.
It takes your gear off the ground and gives it a sturdy support system, no matter the frame size. Two conveniently placed points of contact provide the base for our modular frame that makes it easy to access bike parts and move your rack without whipping out the toolbox.
Bicycle storage sheds rarely have the luxury of loads of free space, so we designed our indoor bike storage rack to make the most of every inch. Each rack holds a larger bike and comes with two utility hooks and a bicycle storage shelf system that fits it all.
It all adds up to simple outdoor bike storage that works with any shed and any bike.
Bicycle Storage Sheds FAQ’s
We could go on all day about the different ways the Rackcycle is the best bike rack on, and for the planet. But, to round out our expose, we’ll answer some classic questions that come about when you’re mapping out your DIY wooden bike shelter or garden shed bicycle storage.
Can you Store A Bike in A Shed?
Carefully. Yes, you can turn any lean-to into bonafide bike sheds, but you can't just throw your bike under any awning and call it a day. Bike storage in shed requires a bit more gusto than some other outdoor equipment to protect your gear shifters and braking systems.
Bike Storage in Small Bike Sheds?
Small metal bike sheds are a great way for space-deprived set-ups to access bike storage. Small storage containers are easy to purchase and can be very simple to install and maintain. They can take up half of a parking space or fit right onto the side of a house and keep your bike dry through the winter.
How to look after Long-Term Bike Storage In Shed?
Just by storing your bike in wooden bike sheds, you are already doing enough to keep your bike fresh for this weekend's ride. Sometimes though, you may need to get off your bike for a few months. To make sure your bike is ready to roll come springtime, there are a few extra precautions you should take.
Keep your tires off the ground
Gravity can slowly wear down even the stoutest tires and develop flat spots at the point of contact if left long enough. You should over-inflate your tires before storage and hang things off the ground to avoid having to replace your tires after a long hibernation.
Clean and lube your bike right before storage
We always check our bike chain lube and do quick scans of our bike before a ride, and maybe hose things down after a messy ride, but you should also give a thorough cleaning before storage. Any dirt left on your bike will slowly eat away at your mechanics.
Try to use some climate control
No one is advocating for you to hook up an air conditioner just for your bike collection, but you should take a few steps, like insulating windows and fixing any leaks before starting your bike storage in shed to make sure no rust and corrosion occurs next time you access bike parts.
Bike Stands and Storage
You wouldn't rely on one bike to navigate single-track mountain pathways, meander through a winding city commute, and speed down a paved country road. Bicycle makers have constantly improved frames, wheels, and drivetrains to excel in different niches, and the same can be said for the bike stands storage options that keep your two wheels ready to roll.
Bicycle stands and bike racks can end up being as multi-faceted and specialized as, well, a bike made by Specialized. The industry has grown to support racks that hang from your walls, ceiling, and floorboards and support your bikes all on their own.
There are so many bike storage racks out there, you're bound to find the one that best stores your arsenal. If that’s all you’re looking for, let me make it easier for you; it’s the Rackcycle. But if you want a closer look at the field, we’ll cover all the angles and highlight minute differences in support systems.
Making the wrong choice can result in tracking the days mud along the walls or having to rearrange the entire garage every ride. The right bike racks will make it easier than ever to ride, repair and rest your bikes, so we're going to help you find them.
We're here to take the guesswork out of bike stands for home, garage, and outdoor use. This bike's storage bible will pull out the microscope and look closely at classic bike storage solutions. We'll break down the highs and lows to lead you to the best bike stands and storage for all sorts of lifestyles.
Stands and Bicycle Storage ideas from A to Z
A bike rack makes a house a home. No longer will you lean your bike against a wall and come out in the morning to scratched up floorboards and random bike damage.
There are two main reasons to avoid proper bike storage: you think you don't need it or assume it's inaccessible.
The first reason is just plain hubris. You'll likely invest thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours into your bicycle, which is designed to take you down hair-pinned corners and bomb rocky or rooty intense descents. No mtb rack stand can guarantee you'll land your next air, and no race bike wall mount can guarantee you'll come in first place, but victory starts at home.
It's not a matter of if, but when, Investing the time and splash of cash necessary to hook up proper bicycle stands for storage creates the difference between an afternoon enjoyed or an afternoon phoning the bike shop.
The second reason for pause is a bit more tricky to dispel. Every passionate biker deserves a room filled with bicycle racks and tinkering toys, but not everyone has a garage, basement, outdoor shed, or loads of free space laying around. Many folks in apartments or temporary living situations just think that there's no way they can fit in a proper bike storage stand, or wouldn't want to make a permanent installation that risks getting a deposit back.
That's the true beauty of the bike storage options we're about to explore. These bike storage ideas include space-saving indoor bike wall hanger options, Free standing bike rack styles ready for moving day, and bicycle stands storage solutions that do far more than hang your tires.
Floor Racks
The first style of indoor bike storage we'll look at today is a sneaky step up from leaning your bikes against a wall. Floor racks are a humble bike garage storage option that won't revolutionize your floor space but will keep your bikes upright.
Most floor racks are relatively simple attachments with an even easier installation process. A big appeal of the process is the complete lack of tools necessary, and some floor racks will even ship to your doorstep ready for deployment. This bicycle mount category works like a pimped-out kickstand, offering mobile slits that lock the wheels of your bike into place and help prevent an entire family's worth of bikes from facing a dominoes-style downfall.
The best bike stands for garage storage help to create more space, either by hanging your bikes vertically or getting them off the floor and out of the way entirely. Floor racks simply don't have that attribute in them, which knocks them down a few pegs in our rankings.
Still, you can find modern options with a few pegs and bicycle storage hooks that help you hang helmets and shelve shoes to maximize your free space. This particular style also excels at storing a lot of bikes.
No magical bike rack can make it easy to find a good spot to store 5+ bicycles. Chances are, by the time your collection reaches that point, you've already got a large chunk of space reserved for storage, and floor bicycle stands storage can swoop in there and keep everything as organized as possible.
free standing bike racks
A bike rack with storage doesn't have to demand a lengthy installation process or dominate your wall space. Free standing bicycle storage in garage ideas range everywhere from full-on workspaces that dominate a floor plan to bicycle-style fire poles that can store a few bikes horizontally, with no holes necessary.
This category is a close cousin to floor racks, which also don't need wall space to store. Free-standing bike racks take things a step further, serving as way more than a glorified kickstand. They serve well as a bike nook bicycle stand and can often store two bikes in the same amount of space it takes a floor bicycle mount to store one.
You get the convenience and complete lack of an install process of convenient bike storage racks with a bit of extra storage utility, a great combination. However, the freestanding moniker that many of these bike storage options carry is a bit cheeky.
While these racks don't require any wall space, they sometimes require a floor-to-ceiling connection that will take a few hours to set up. You won't have to take a hammer to the walls, but you will have to sift through an installation manual to turn this bike storage idea into a reality.
They are also one of the more expensive bike stands and storage options on our list, especially when you consider that you'll have to buy separate free standing bike racks for every two bicycles.
A hands-free style that still looks crisp and stores your bike way better than a simple lean-to, these bike racks are a great choice for anyone who wants to make their bicycle storage part of their interior decorating plan, but they're just not the most practical bicycle storage ideas garage or otherwise.
Vertical Indoor Bike Hanging Racks
These heavy-duty bike storage hooks work by hanging your front wheel from the wall and sometimes through a tertiary hook that locks the bottom half of your bike into place. Bikes storage ideas that involve vertical integration are often put in place to store loads of bikes without loads of floor space.
Do keep in mind that while vertical bicycle racks may save you heaps of floor space, many bike storage hooks will keep your bike sitting out at a sharp angle that will greatly reduce your room's dimensions.
Even though a vertical bicycle rack for storage greatly reduces your room's usable area, This style of mounted bike rack might still be the most space-efficient way to store an entire wall full of bicycles. You'll be surprised about how many bikes you can fit across the shed's back wall if they're all stacked in a neat line.
Measure twice, cut once, and make sure there is plenty of breathing room for bikes of all shapes and sizes to rest comfortably without their back wheels touching the ground. The little ones may struggle to get the bikes upright and hooked into place, but once your bikes have reached their resting place, a bike storage rack for garage in this category has proven capable of keeping your bike locked and loaded for the next ride.
Ceiling-mounted bike rack
Taking a mounted bike rack and elevating it to new heights, ceiling storage is both the most space-efficient and least accessible way to store your bikes. Ceiling racks will take an adjustable bicycle wall hanger and really get your bikes up there, using a pulley and a few hooks to lock your bike into place.
The trouble is, once you've hauled your bike onto the ceiling and locked it in place, it won't come down so easily. Ceiling bike racks are complicated pieces of machinery. Chances are you'll have to be on hand every time the kids want to get the cruiser down. Therefore, this particular bike storage solution garage style is best for long-term storage.
If the cold weather keeps you off the bike for a few months a year, or your kit includes a few niche specialists that are only deployed on a few race days a year, you can fully trust ceiling storage to keep them out of the way when you don't need them and in tip-top shape when you do.
Unfortunately, you're probably better off looking elsewhere to store any daily drivers, and it will take more than a few holes in the roof to get your ceiling-mounted bike rack installed.
One Option to Rule Them All: Horizontal Bike Wall Mount Storage
Bike wall storage combines the abilities of all the other mounted bike rack options we've covered today and takes things a step further to create the best all-around bike storage capabilities. Wall-mounted horizontal racks save you some serious space while storing all types of bikes to earn the crown.
This option stands out as a great bike garage storage choice, but a high-quality horizontal rack can also look good in the living room or wherever you've got space to store your bike.
The only real drawbacks to a horizontal mounted bike rack compared to the competition is the installation process, and choosing the right model will nip that challenge in the bud.
The Right Model, Also Known as the Rackcycle
You can't expect just any old horizontal rack to be the best bike stands and storage solution in the business, but the Rackcycle is no ordinary rack.
Made from the strongest and most sustainable natural ingredients out there, this rack smiles back with a crisp wood finish that brings any room together. Grassracks unique mounting system is at the helm, conveniently spacing your rack to make sure pressure points sit right over your studs.
Once you've got the simple mounting bar hooked up, the rest of the system practically takes care of itself, with no screws, nuts, or bolts necessary. The Rackcycle boasts a simple installation, but its value is anything but simple.
The adjustable bicycle wall hanger has specialized hooks that can confidently store both road and mountain bikes, and they jut out just far enough from the wall to accommodate all tire sizes without sticking out obnoxiously.
Up top, the bike rack comes with a handy shelf unit that can easily store your spare tire tubes and cycling shoes, and two sneaky hooks that can hang up the helmet, goggles, and gloves to create a one-stop shop for your cycling gear.
You can get by with all sorts of bicycle stands and storage, but the Rackcycle is the only rack on the planet that stands out of the crowd and helps keep all sorts of bikes focused on the road ahead, all without harming the earth that our bikes help us explore.

Why Garage Bicycle Storage is a great place for your bike
The real question is, why not? There’s a reason why every cul-de-sac is full of California bungalows with a lovely garden and a garage for two cars to park in, or a lot of room for storage if you’ve just got one.
I think it’s safe to say that if your home has a garage, there is simply no better place to store bikes. Sure, you may point to a shed or a basement in a fix, but basements generally require stairs or navigating tight doorways, and sheds aren’t as reliable.
But, we’re not here to talk about things you shouldn’t do, we're here to look for the best horizontal bike rack in the business. A bike rack garage can be as simple as a few bicycle hooks garage wall style or a full-on wall mounted bike rack complete with a shelving system.
Let’s take a closer look at the best place to store your outdoor gear to keep it fresh for the best days of the week.
Garages are built to get dirty
You ride long enough, you’re going to come home muddy. Even road warriors who wouldn’t dream of stepping off the pavement know the backsplash that comes with riding in the rain. When faced with foul weather, you’ve got two options: stay home and eat cookies on the couch, or make a mess.
Somewhere deep down in the back of your mind, your bike storage will influence your next move. If you keep your gear on bike hooks in your living room or in a bike nook bicycle stand, the thought of a dripping wet floor might be enough to keep you inside.
Luckily, we’re here to talk bike racks garage style. Who cares if we track a bit of footprints through the concrete flooring that creates an airlock between your house and the outdoors? You can always hose it down later.
Mud, grit, sand, dust - you name it. No matter what the material is, I would rather leave it in the garage than risk further contamination. That willingness to get dirty is what separates bike hanging ideas for garage from all other storage solutions.
Grab-and-Go
There is a simple method taught to improve good habits and decrease bad ones; convenience. Something as simple as forcing yourself to look for the TV remote can convince you watching the news isn’t as important, and just cutting down the steps it takes you to get out the door may subconsciously boost your budding passion.
Grab-and-go bicycle storage in garage ideas isn't just about developing good habits. I'm as nimble as can be once I’m on the bike, but it’s not always so graceful to navigate my handlebars through tight doorways and cluttered hallways. Garage bike storage eliminates the risk of damaging the furniture and helps you get out of the door in a hurry.
The grab-and-go convenience is minor, but it is real. It's why fast food restaurants are so popular and why cooking healthy is so taxing. It’s why experts recommend laying out your workout clothes and packing your gear bag the night before to make sure you actually wake up and get out the door to exercise before work. And it’s why you should embrace bike racks garage storage.
We’re not saying that a wall-mounted bike rack garage is the secret sauce to bicycling daily, but eliminating extra effort involved with doing the things you love will always pay small dividends.
You Can Store it All
The final key benefit that garage bicycle storage has going for it over other bike storage options is the chance to turn your bike stand into a pit stop. With the right horizontal bike rack and shelving combination, your indoor bike storage can also be your own personal mechanic shop without even having to take things down from the bike wall mount.
There are a few excellent mounted bike rack options that provide storage hangers for helmets, gloves, shoes, and the entire kit, as well as a shelf up top that will store your toolbox. Hang the wheels off the ground and get to work. If a bit of oil spills on the floor during a chain greasing, it will just make your garage feel more like home.
Bike Garage Storage Solutions
Hopefully, you’re starting to see the light through the garage window. Let’s bring it all home and figure out how we’re going to get our bike racks garage sorted. Here are a few of the best bike storage solutions for garages big and small.
Leaning up into the corner
We’ll start with the easiest choice, although I am very hesitant to truly call this option a solution… it’s more of a filibuster.
Here’s why: it may have been a long time since you learned how to ride a bike, but chances are you used training wheels for a reason: bikes can tilt easily. Leaning your bike against the corner will almost certainly work for an afternoon or two, will likely be fine for a few weeks, but will almost definitely cost you in the long run.
Whether we’re talking about unnecessary scratches and fractures in your gear shifters or handlebars after a rough collision with the cement floor, or damages to your cars, or worse, your partner's car, because a loose cannon careened into the driver side door.
It doesn’t take much to mess up your bike’s center of gravity, and the results could be disastrous. How are you going to convince the less bike inclined members of the household that you need more bikes if they can’t avoid colliding with the existing members of the ensemble?
Get your bike out of the corner and find a real way to store bikes as soon as possible.
Floor Bike Stand for Garage
Now we're getting a bit more practical. A floor stand is a few steps up from an old-fashioned kick stand. They typically lock your front or rear wheel into place to make sure bumps and gusts don’t knock things around.
It's a great choice for one bike or a garage with loads of floor space. Just map out an underused corner close to the door and lean your bike just so. This option is worlds better than leaning your bike up against a corner, and it can still be done without installation, but it’s a half measure.
As soon as you start storing more than one bike, you’ll have worlds of trouble fishing out the bike that’s up against the wall. You might literally have to lift the bike up over your other rides just to get outside. Plus, you’ll have to figure out a completely separate storage solution for all of your gear and repair equipment.
Floors won't come with shelves or hooks that make the difference when filling out your bicycle accessories. These stands are all fun and games until you’ve got a few helmets, sprockets and shoes scattered across the floor.
Wall Mounted Bike Rack
This garage bicycle storage option really cleans up compared to the competition. An adjustable bicycle wall hanger opens up some floor space and expands your storage capabilities. You can go from keeping your bike rear wheel locked down to getting the whole damn thing off it’s rubber and securely in the air.
A wall-mounted bike rack looks good while it keeps your bicycle out of harm's way and off the collision course with the grocery bags. In our eyes, it’s the only long-term bicycle garage rack storage solution that checks off all the boxes and opens up more potential.
So why doesn’t everyone trust bike hangers for garage storage? The installation heebie-jeebies. Nobody wants to go about drilling too many holes into the wall, even if it’s just the garage. I want to spend my Saturday's riding, not on wall-hanging Youtube.
That’s where we step in..
The Rackcycle
Making the best bike racks garage on, and for the planet, also means making the best mounting system out there. Our bamboo and birch bike wall mounts take advantage of Grassracks’ unique installation promise that isn’t just a marketing slogan.
With five simple tools, and an hour on a rainy afternoon, you’ll have your bikes hung before the road drys. The mounting bars are fit exactly to standard wall stud length, and the entire rack can easily be adjusted across that bar. You’ll need to drill two holes and two holes only, lock your rack into place, and start arranging.
The Rackcycle does a bit more than get your bike off the ground. With two bike hooks and bike shelf on every rack, you’ll have more than enough space for all your riding gear, plus a few performance enhancers, and some good ole fashioned chain lube - which you can easily apply without taking your bike off the rack.
And of course, it’s all protected by some of the strongest and most sustainable natural materials on the planet.
The Best Ski Videos of All Time
In addition to making the best ski racks on the planet, it is also our responsibility to keep the ski fires stoked in the ski hearts of our ski peers. After all, while some may think of us as just an incredibly attractive storage option, our real mission is to get skier’s favorite gear up in front of them and on display so we can all be reminded of our best days with snow underfoot.
A very important part of keeping the fire burning hot are epic ski videos. Though, like almost everything spectacular that we watch, 99% of us will never have a shot at attaining the levels of these skiers, there are few things as satisfying as watching someone mastering the things we love. Add on a keen eye for cinematography and the means to get to the best places on the planet with tons of gear, and ski films have gotten pretty darn good at capturing all of the things we love about being in the snow from fresh powder days to the nostalgia of ski trips with your closest friends.
Once we’ve wrapped up the rack-making for the day, you’ll often find us melting into the couch with a warm glass of skim milk, an oatmeal cookie and one of the following on the TV. Here are some of our favorites..
Candide Thovex
One Of Those Days - 4 mins
Insane skiing. Shaky GoPro that we all experienced in the early days but we didn’t care, because we finally had a way to capture our footage.
One Of Those Days 2 - 5 mins
Now that they had the formula.. It was time to improve with a little more editing and pizazz. Still has the GoPro shakes.
One Of Those Days 3 - 5 mins
To complete the set. This just raises the bar a bit higher with the same theme that we loved from the other two.
Few Words - 59 mins
While we’re on the topic of Candide, you might as well watch one of my personal favorite ski documentaries. Just an all around great and interesting ski video about one of the best to ever do it.
Tales From Cascadia - 49 mins
A nostalgic-feeling ski film that reminds me of sitting in front of crackling fire in a ski lodge back in the early 2000s. From the opening song, you’re transported back to the good ol’ ski trip with your buddies days. It’s a narrated film that follows some cool dudes that travel the world and are apparently some sort of Pow Hounds because they find some damn deep snow.
Attack of La Niña - 74 mins
Another Great, Sean Pettit, a nice Canadian boy rips us all over North America and shows us what our ski dreams look like in real life. There’s also a scene with a hot spring that may be every skier’s dream lodging.
Chasing AdVANture - 30 mins
I’ve watched this so many times. It’s an easy 30 minute lunch break watch that features, seemingly, one of the nicest dudes on the planet who is living my dream life by showing his outrageously well-done Sprinter Van conversion and traveling to do just all of the outdoor activities from skiing to climbing.
The Most Insane Ski Run Ever Imagined - 10 mins
Markus Eder - I don’t even really know what to say about this video, except that the title isn’t an exaggeration. I like a lot of ski videos but, while it’s obviously not one continuous line, this one may be the coolest “line” video to date.. It’s pretty epic and the reviews and hype about it are well deserved.
Cody Townsend - The FIFTY Project - Between 5 and 15 mins
One of the most enjoyable on-camera (and probably off, I haven’t met him) humans on this planet, Cody Townsend read a book called “Fifty Classic Ski Descents. North America” and now you immediately know what this series is about. This muchacho is doing them and the videos are fun, get the stoke going, and very manageable, generally lasting between 5 and 15-ish minutes. Except for the Jeremy Jones episode which is around 30.. Because you’re not going to make a video with snowboarding’s favorite son and not give a little extra. Cody also does some outrageous things like biking to different mountains and skins to the summit then skis his line. This series is truly a rabbit hole and you will love every minute as you get sucked in. In addition to the overall coolness, this project shows a truly mind blowing level of fitness, especially the bike episode.
Warren Miller Entertainment - 55 years
Warren Miller Entertainment is ski film. A WWII vet, skier, and surfer, Warren Miller was a man that did it all. He released his first ski movie in 1950 and released 1 movie a year for 55 years, which is just outrageous to even wrap your head around.. Maybe more understandable now but not back in the 1950s. With his iconic narration style, Warren Miller is the gold standard for action sport films and maintained his high standards for his whole career.
Bike Wall Mounts - Here’s Why You Need One Yesterday
It’s all too easy to lean your bike up against the wall and call it a day, especially after a tough ride. But you wouldn’t leave a sports car sitting curbside on a packed street and you damn sure shouldn’t mess around with your bike and crowded hallways or cluttered floors.
Even the most orderly garages are prone to chaos. All it takes is one bad bounce to take the air out of your tires, scratch up the car, or do some real damage to your shiny new Santa Cruz. A bike wall rack will lift up your wheels and provide a perfect resting spot to keep your bike fresh and ready for the next ride.
Whether your bike is your primary form of transportation or your favorite way to spend more time outside, buying your first bike turns a burgeoning passion into a downright obsession. All of a sudden, you can get downtown faster than you could driving, and you can climb that mountain faster than ever before.
Unfortunately, unlocking a whole new world of exploration comes at no easy expense. Top of the line mountain and road bikes will set you back thousands of dollars. Why gamble that kind of investment against gravity?
A great way to justify a high-quality titanium frame is the knowledge that it should last a lifetime. Taking away a few risky variables with the right horizontal bike wall mount is the least you can do to better guarantee a decades of high speeds.
Not only do you need bike wall mounts to make sure you don’t slightly overswing the garage turn and sideswipe your beloved gravel bike, but the right bike wall mounts will also keep the stoke lit long after you finally finished your descent.
Our bikes are our own. There are all sorts of shapes and sizes out there that perform differently and ride certain terrain better than anything else on the market, and there’s a reason you chose the bike you did - it’s the best one on the planet for you.
There is no better way to reaffirm your choice and see your bike at it’s best angle than a gorgeous wooden display (more on that below). We’re not just here to organize bikes racks in the garage, we’re here to make that thing pop.
When all your troubles seem so far away, before the grit takes over your drivetrain and you’ve got to spend a month waiting to get your bike back from the shop, before you leave your ride lost in the corner all winter, that is the time to pair up your bike with the best bike rack for your style.
So, let’s introduce ourselves to the bicycle stands and storage that will keep the wheels turning and turn your bicycle into a centerpiece.
Just like your bikes, Bicycle Stands and Storage come in many different shapes and sizes.
Different types of bike storage are mainly influenced by what style of frame you have, how many bikes the family will let you keep around, and how much free space you’ve got in the floorplan.
The good news is no matter how much space you’ve got etched out, we’ve got great bike wall mounts carved out of the best stuff on Earth that will keep your ride road ready.
Like a rear-mounted bike rack in your car, A mountain bike wall rack and a road bike wall mount at home will require different particulars, mainly due to frame size. You’ll also need to consider what kind of tires you’re strapping up. It won’t matter too much when hanging bikes in garage walls, but a 700C will still require a different clearance than a tough set of fat tires.
The most amazing bike storage ideas are the ones that bring a home a bit of versatility. Ideally you’d have indoor bike racks custom built for each member of your arsenal, but the next best thing are flexible bike wall mounts, sometimes known as Rackcycles, that can take on any bike.
You need confidence to get up that hill. Start your ride the moment the last one ends by hanging your bike up right at eye level and letting the world know you’re ready.
Common Areas for A Bike Storage Rack
Unfortunately, my roommates won’t let me slap a bike shelf hanger in any old corner of our place. Nobody complained about Jared’s 15 new potted plants in the sunroom this month, but you lean one vintage Peugeot in the dining room and all of a sudden everyone’s got an interior decorating opinion.
Let’s take a look at a few great places to store your equipment with proper bike wall mounts. Any one of these locations are bike storage ideas just a few screws away from serving as bike hangers by this weekend. All you’ll need is a bit of open wall space.
Basement
Basement bike storage ideas are risky propositions. First of all, a lower percentage of riders find themselves with basements each year. If you’re a city dweller shopping for a bike stand and storage, you may use the term basement to refer to your entire apartment. But for those with ample floor space and entire rooms devoted to storage, bike wall mounts should still be a high priority.
Getting your mountain bike off two feet and onto the walls saves the floor space for a ping pong table, and your bicycle storage mount becomes an accessory piece that helps tie the room together.
Using an adjustable bicycle wall hanger in your basement will also help your bike from slowly becoming trapped behind the pile up of time. If you start leaning your bikes along the wall, before you know it there will be 16 photo albums and two boxes of lost and lonely socks between you and your favorite ride.
We can’t be what we can’t see. When you can’t do the laundry without checking out your ride, you’re going to spend your weekends getting into all sorts of spin cycles.
Shed
A shed is a lot like a basement that’s exposed to the elements. Bike storage in sheds, therefore, should be wall mounted within easy access of any barn style doors. The reason to keep your wheels hanging is simple.
Sheds are a great addition to any house with decent yard space that needs some TLC. It may start off solely for bike storage, but soon enough they be filled up with the mower, weed whacker, ax and all sorts of long-armed accouterments.
You can either store your bike against the back wall and navigate your way through an entire spring's worth of gardening tools or spend one Saturday hooking up two wall mounts to give your bike a forever home.
Bike storage in shed spaces can do a whole lot more than a plank of bike wall holder wood. You can pimp out your shed with all sorts of bike accessories and turn it into an outdoor workspace, or you can simply take advantage of your bike hooks and accompanying bike shelf to keep all your tools organized until it's time to do some tinkering.
A few ratchets, an oil can and a crusty rag and voila! Your bike shelf hanger is suddenly a diy bike rack ready for repairs.
Front Hall
Our first two storage zones imply a bit of extra space, but our Rackcycle works great as an indoor bike rack for apartments where floor space is at a premium. Whether you’re looking to hook up a mountain bike or a road bike wall mount, you can use the right bike wall mounts to keep your bike out of the way while providing easy access to the open road.
Front hall bike accessories shouldn’t be much more than a bike stand and a few solid hooks, but the right bike wall mounts will make the most out of limited space by providing key shelf space alongside a great space for your ride.
Unlike a basement or shed storage, storing your bike inside invites eyes on your ride. That means if you’re hanging up your mountain bike in the front hall, you’re going to want to make sure all the details of your bike wall mounts are looking crisp.
A bike nook bicycle stand should stay out of the way while standing out of the crowd. The best bike rack for interior storage should be made of solid natural materials that require as few holes in the wall as possible to look good and hold strong.
Garage
Ever since C.G. Johnson figured out the first electric garage door opener, Garage’s have been bike’s best friends. If you’ve got one, the store bike choices are all out the window; garage’s are the undisputed goats.
Over the years, manufacturers have developed many creative bike storage ideas for your garage. The entire point of the space is storing, so bike boys have hooked up floor holders, ceiling hangers, and solid bike wall mounts perfect for storing your bike overnight or all winter long.
A bike storage solution garage doesn’t have to be complicated. Any garage already has everything you need to store your beloved bike accessories; namely wall space and a stud. Our bike wall mounts plus your garage’s four seasons of protection is the easiest way to extend the life of your bicycle since WD40.
No matter where you store it, A Bike Wall Mount Invites Quick Bike Maintenance
This key factor is where a great investment absolutely dominates a DIY horizontal bike wall mount. Our Rackcycle is uniquely capable of providing everything you need for quick maintenance or total overhaul.
We’ve got the shelf space to store the tools, the bike hooks to hang the spare tire, and the solid backbone to guarantee you can really get in there and get physical with your repairs without worrying about unwarranted destruction. The cherry on top are the soft padding arms of our racks. These cushions lock your bike into place without messing with the carbon.
The first step of any repair is getting your bike up off its wheels. The next step is a few hours on YouTube. While bike wall mounts can’t teach you how to replace a derailleur, they can give you the perfect space to get the job done.
It all adds up to one clear winner: Our Rackcycle is the best bike rack on the planet.
There is one bike wall mount on the market that checks off all the boxes, stays sustainable, and looks good while getting the job done. We’ve mentioned it a few times today, but now let’s have a full introduction to the best bike rack on, and for, the planet.
We believe you don’t have to make things too complicated to shine. Our bike wall mounts start with the strongest natural materials on the planet and finish with an eco-friendly Vermont Natural Coatings finish to create a unique color scheme that fits in any living room.
Bamboo has a higher tensile strength than steel and can reproduce material almost 12 times faster than traditional wood as it technically belongs to the grass family. It all adds up to a stylish design that trusts in natural materials to protect your gear.
We wouldn’t blame you if hooking up a solid chunk of bamboo to your garage wall sounds complicated, but the Rackcycle's rock solid mounting system is a real gamechanger. With a classic #2 pencil, screwdriver, measuring tape, level, a stud finder, and a free hour or two the next time your ride gets rained out, you can have the system hooked up and ready to hang.
The result is a mounting system that is incredibly easy to adjust and manipulate, combine with other products to extend your bike storage capability, and looks darn good while they're at it. This mounting bar is our secret sauce that helps explain why our racks are so damn strong.
Another key ingredient in our powerful Rackcycle is the triangle design. This set-up latches right onto Grassracks’s mounting system and deploys another secure contact point. The Rackcycle can spread it’s weight across those points to keep the pressure off your studs and hold some serious weight. Hanging your bike now will prevent unnecessary pitstops on this weekends ride.
That heavy duty system and good looking racks that hold lighter than air start to pay dividends when your arsenal increases. Not many racks are equally proficient on the road as they are off, but the Rackcycle has unmatched versatility.
This beast can hold onto ultralight racing road bikes, fat tired snow plows, and everything in between. Our padded arms have just enough of an angle in all the right places to lock all sorts of bikes into place.
But why stop there? What good are bike wall mounts if they don’t leave room for your bike accessories. Every Rackcycle ships with a shelf and utility hooks that help turn your bike storage point into a one stop shop.
Next time you’re trying to beat the heat you won’t have to spend half an hour digging through the garage to track down your cycling gloves. Leave it all hanging on the hooks conveniently located right behind the bike storage arms and set your helmet up top to bring it all home.
Wood Surfboard Wall Rack
Wooden surfboard storage has been around since the days of 10-foot-long wooden boards. While you won’t find many wooden surfboards in current line-ups, your storage display is still an excellent place for lumber in your arsenal.
Except for local legends like Kuntiqi and the balsa wood brothers of Montanita, modern Surfing manufacturers have mainly got eyes for Epoxy and Poly. Yet, still standing tall and holding strong outside the water are Wooden surfboard wall mounts. Nature’s last stand is in living rooms, garages, and surf shops around the country.
A wooden surfboard wall rack is one of the business's most robust surfboard wall mounts. When done right, The natural materials will put your shortboards and longboards on display and finish your project with a suave color scheme that brings any room together.
Anytime it comes to drilling holes in the wall or inviting the elements into your home, you’re best off doing your research and consulting a professional. We’re here to walk you through the harvest and guide you towards the best surfboard wall rack options in the business that rely on mother nature to protect your favorite boards.
How to Turn Your Surfboard Storage into Bonafide Board Displays
Don’t just store your stand-up paddleboard in a dark corner. Not only is that a losing race against time for a dryland ding, but it can also look sloppy fast, especially when you’re corners start filling up with a growing quiver.
It starts with using your surfboard as a towel rack and ends with your favorite sup board buried behind your luggage collection. A premium wooden surfboard display rack in the form of a wall-mounted indoor surfboard stand will keep clutter in mind while keeping the boards on hand and ready for the next code red.
Turning your surfboard storage into surfboard decor might be as simple as picking your boards off the floor and trusting a wall rack mount. Wall storage has pros and cons, but the right wood surfboard wall rack can relieve doubts and boost your surfboard display. Here’s how.
Why Trust Wood?
There are loads of different ways you can go with your Surfboard storage, but wooden surfboard wall rack options are a great place to start.
All Natural Reinforcement
If they trust in timber enough for your walls, why not use the same material for your wall storage? Wood has been holding up the fort for thousands of years, and there is still nothing else quite like it in the market.
We don’t quite have the budget for steel beams, and nobody wants a surfboard storage rack that doesn’t age well. That crosses off most artificial ingredients. Plus, there’s just nothing quite like an apartment that smells of rich mahogany.
Classic Look
What living room wouldn’t benefit from a splash of authentic Baltic Birch? Even ultra-modern, whitewashed design schemes leave room for a solid Oak coffee table, and your stand-up paddle board wall storage should be no different.
Wooden furniture has been a high-end classic for centuries, as it brings a highly resilient material through the front door that may outlast your room’s fresh paint job. Hooked up to the studs is no different. A wood surfboard wall rack has that little something special that draws the eyes towards your board and the mind towards the surf.
Sustainable Origin
As surfers, we build our lives around the ocean. We have enough moral dilemmas to get through when shopping for wetsuits or looking at plane tickets, and we shouldn’t have to come home to a surfboard storage rack that harms the very ocean that just energized us.
Too many horizontal wall mounted indoor surfboard rack options cut corners and don’t think about the environmental impact of their production. That may result in sleek looks and low prices, but with a wood surfboard wall rack, you’ll benefit from your investment for years to come.
Timber is one of the few natural, renewable, and carbon-positive building materials trusted on a large scale, but not all lumber is equally sustainable. In fact, some of the most sustainable and strong natural materials on Earth aren’t wooden at all...
The Best Type of Wood is… Grass
That’s right, folks! Kentucky Bluegrass is the secret weapon behind the best wooden surfboard wall rack mount options. That’s just a joke, but you may be surprised to learn that Bamboo is in the grass family, not the plank clan, and it is the earth’s most sustainable powerhouse.
Grassracks only uses premium Baltic Birch and sustainably farmed bamboo in our wood surfboard wall racks. Believe you me, We tried just about everything to see what stood through the test of time.
Bamboo eventually became a no-brainer method for wall display racks and vertical freestanding racks. Its grassroots origins give it a few unique skills that make it nature’s super material.
First off, it beat the hell out of traditional artificial building methods. The material has a higher tensile strength than steel, a higher compressive strength than concrete, and a higher strength-to-weight ratio than graphite. But it just couldn’t stop there.
Bamboo is one of the fastest growing natural resources on the planet, has almost 2X the strength of wood building options, can produce a wood surfboard wall rack 12X faster than wood, and converts more CO2 to Oxygen than most trees. When grown properly, Bamboo will use its extensive root system to reduce soil erosion and water runoff.
The numbers don’t lie. Grassrack’s Tiger Bamboo is simply the best wooden surfboard wall rack on, and for, the planet. We even found a way to use the unused bamboo pieces by partnering with our friend at Bodhi Rings.
Grassracks Best Wood Surfboard Wall Rack
Once we had the raw materials nailed down, we knew we had a winner. All that was left to do was to come up with the perfect design for a wall mount storage rack. After years of trial by failure and combat, only a few wood surfboard wall rack models left the ring standing.
The Kauai series
Our most affordable surfboard wall mounts are also some of our finest work. These wall display racks look good in any living room and grow alongside any quiver. You can start your bamboo wall rack off with space for one or two of your favorite boards and easily update the surfboard stand as that number gets closer to four.
Plus, with convenient hooks located right underneath the racks pads, this horizontal wall mounted indoor surfboard display can do a whole lot more than hang on to a few boards. Leave your wettie, rash guard, or extra leashes right where you need them, and turn your wood surfboard wall rack into your one-stop shop.
The Kauai takes care of all sorts of wall storage details so you can sit back and enjoy more of your weekend. Grassrack’s unique mounting system means you’ll have the surfboard wall rack installed in an hour or two, and any time you need to do some rearranging or painting, you can have the frame down in seconds.
Vertical Wall Mounted Indoor Surfboard Rack
Our unique wood surfboard wall rack can keep storing until you run out of wall space. This 4-pack of simple stand-up paddle board wall storage solutions work together to turn a showroom or a passionate garage storage project into a beautiful piece of surfboard decor.
This surfboard stand uses 3/4ths of an inch of solid bamboo to provide a vertical surfboard rack that can do things horizontal storage simply can’t do. This style of surfboard display rack is best used alongside large quantities of surfboards or with an unwieldy sup board that’s a bit too long to stow horizontally.
Working alongside the sturdy bamboo is comfortable padding that guarantees your boards stay locked into place. It’s not always easy to negotiate the angles and ensure your surfboard isn’t going to tip over a few minutes after you put it in storage, but this rack comes with Bungie cord attachment points and sticky padding to prevent all that mess.
An entire surfboard wall might sound complicated, but the most challenging part will be finding the money for all those surfboards! To get them properly on display, All you’ll need is an electric drill, a stud finder, a level, and a tape measure, and you’ll have your collection standing tall on display in no time.
Whether you’re trying to sell off a storeroom or store up a shitload of surfboards, you should use nothing less than the best to get the job done. Every arm of this wood surfboard wall rack is hot branded with the Grassracks logo, which means it’s hand-made in the USA.
Freestanding Surfboard Rack
Sometimes the best things in life are freestanding. When it comes to storing your board, that rings especially true. A freestanding surfboard rack is any equipment holder that can stow your boards vertically without drilling holes in the wall. A splash of floor space is all you need to give your surfboards a forever home.
Everybody gets by with a little help from their friends, but our furniture doesn't have to be that way. There is no better way to put a single board on display, handle four seasons of extreme sports, or hook up one rack that does it all than the right freestanding surfboard rack. When you combine the genre with quality materials, you've got a full-fledged floor rack that will look as good as it stows.
Grassracks surfboard wall racks changed the industry, but they are not suitable for every home. Whether you don't trust yourself around power tools or your landlord is taking themselves a bit too seriously, bolting holes and spotting studs for wall storage might not be in your best interests.
Freestanding surfboard displays seemed natural enough, but the industry wasn't cutting it. We looked around for an easy to assemble and super durable freestanding surfboard display stand, and we couldn't find any on the market. We had to take our talents off the wall and develop something better to get the job done right.
So, we took our signature bamboo and birch back to the drawing board and worked on a few more storage solutions that make sure every home has a perfect bamboo surfboard stand. The result is a few sets of beautiful vertical freestanding racks that store more with minimal floor space. Let's take a closer look.
Freestanding Surfboard Racks Store it All
Besides keeping the peace, the main benefit to freestanding surfboard racks is all the extra versatility. Grassracks surfboard wall racks are the only ones out there that can be taken up and down with ease whenever it's time to rearrange the furniture. Still, getting your surfboards on the wall is impossible without locking a few brackets into place.
A freestanding surfboard rack doesn't have that same struggle. You're free to move your surfboard display from inside to outside or across your house if you feel like it; you do you. Most freestanding surfboard racks are vertical surfboard storers, which means the only limit is the height of your surfboard.
There's room for a bit of lean, but there's no way to store those ten-foot-long beginner surfboards without plenty of overhead clearance. That makes them ideal for lighter shortboards and double as ski racks, but where there's a will, there's a way to store boards of all sizes with the right freestanding surfboard display.
Surfboard Freestanding Storage Fatal Flaws
Unfortunately, this particular subsection of the surfboard display world is most often undertaken with no professional supervision. Many first-time carpenters may look at the bracketless construction and think, 'how hard can it be!?'
I'm not here to spoil the fun, but long-term surfboard storage is never as easy as sourcing up a few 2X4s and going to town, muchacho.
Without the benefit of the wall for support, Freestanding surfboard racks need thick padding and reinforced bottom and side rails to stay strong through the decade. As the salt water and bits of sand start to slip between the cracks, it's all too easy for a piece of plywood to be free, free fallin'.
There are a few red flags to look out for when choosing freestanding storage. The concept may seem simple initially, but just a few tiny touches will make or break your vertical freestanding racks.
No Padding on the Bottom and Side Rails
You can usually spot a lackluster product when you start looking for the details. Plenty of freestanding surfboard displays didn't spend years workshopping their support systems. They didn't take the time to think about the little things, like slipping thick padding into every connection area.
Padding is essential to prevent cheap dings and to lock your surfboard in place better. We can take our frustration out after a tough session in many different ways. Not putting your board back with care is a recipe for disaster without the proper padding.
Locking your surfboard into place is the secret benefit of good padding. The finishing touches put on even the most robust bamboo surfboard storage is inherently a bit slick. That's what gives a floor display rack its signature shine. Alone, it's only a matter of time before a casual bout of living room roughhousing or a door slamming just so will send your boards quickly to the earth.
Look for a bit of padding in all the right places to keep everything snug.
Nothing to prevent a free fall
It's easy enough to hook two pieces of wood together with an L-bracket, but gravity works in mysterious ways, and any decent vertical surfboard racks have to account for all directions. A poorly made surfboard display stand will only protect your surfboard from the front and back and leave you to deal with the ramifications of a horizontal tip-over.
Even something as simple as extending the arm an extra inch or two is a crucial step in the design process. Grassrack's freestanding surf racks stretch the arms out and combine things across the bottom and side rails to keep your boards locked and loaded the next time swell comes to town.
Our Surfboard display stand better protects your boards
When it comes to taking your vertical surfboard storage and turning it into a bonafide freestanding surfboard display, Grassracks is the way.

Best for one Board: Freestanding Indoor SUP Display
No matter how big your quiver grows, you'll always have that one favorite board. This freestanding surfboard rack is perfect for that board.
Grassracks pulled out all the stops for this heavy-duty surfboard display. The wide arms and solid construction on these sup racks will hold a shortboard, longboard, paddleboard, or whatever wooden surfboard madness you're cooking up this week.
Not only does this cushy freestanding surfboard display hold your board, but it puts the spotlight on your favorite blade with a slight tilt in the right direction. The thick padding on the bottom takes the same material used in most crash pads and protects your boards in style. Up top, a vertical bamboo crossbar has just enough padding to take care of your board from multiple angles.
The crossbar does the job independently, but for greater peace of mind, this display includes a tie-down strap that guarantees your board will stay upright and ready. It all adds up to a freestanding surfboard rack that will keep you fiending to get in the water.
Best for Multiple Boards: Vertical Freestanding Board Rack
The insane amount of versatility in this rack may be easy to assemble, but it's just about impossible to replace. ¾ inches of ultra-strong bamboo arms support up to 100 lbs without drilling in any holes, while the extra arm length and width allow this board rack to hold just about anything.
It's perfect for multi-sport surfers, as you'll find space for snowboards, skateboards, skis, trekking poles, paddles, and just about any piece of equipment you can fit in your car. If your mind is solely focused on waves, you can take advantage of the extra storage slots to fill out your quiver, as this rack supports longboards as well as shortboards.
The thin layer of padding along the arms works well with the thick padding on the bottom to lock your boards in place and prevent slippage. You can always add a bungee cord along the outside to ensure nothing falls out until it's time to hit the water.
Horizontal Surfboard Rack - Where A Surfboard Display Meets Organized Bliss
When buying a new surfboard, everyone's first thought is how they are going to safely display it in their home. Wait, that's not right. But a brand can dream.. The reality is that we focus so much on the size, shape, art, and fins that taking care of our new favorite toy is generally a late afterthought, but the reality is that a surf wall rack can lift your gear off the floor and find it a permanent place to show off and rest its weary fins. Fitted perfectly for indoor and garage storage, hooking up a horizontal surfboard rack clears up floor space and keeps your boards in great shape while tying a whole room together.
Our surfboards are just as much a work of art as they are the tools we need for our favorite hobby. Every pressure point and ding tells a story and reminds us of the biggest days of the year, where we’re out in the water with nothing on our minds except ‘Holy sh*t!’ But we’ve got to get everything to the beach in one piece first.
If you mess around long enough, you’ll be missing out on that surprise window of offshore wind because you noticed a fresh ding in the parking lot. Nobody wants to spend the next swell sitting on the couch with the solar-rez drying in the sun, and the best way to prevent that is with a great horizontal surfboard rack.
Surfboard display racks come in all shapes and sizes. Whether you’re looking for a vertical freestanding rack, a one-rack stand, or a surfboard wall rack, you can find the best racks on the market at g
Grassracks. Today, we’ll focus on the humble horizontal surfboard rack, a wall rack that serves as an unsung hero of smaller floor plans and slightly larger quivers that need storing.
If you don’t have the space for a freestanding surfboard stand, or you like the clean look of a wall-mounted surfboard hanger, you’ve come to the right place. Grassarcks' signature wall storage racks have space for up to four boards and come with extra ledges and utility hooks that open up a world of possibilities while leaving enough wall space to store a cupboard below.
Basically, what we’re saying is…
Horizontal Wall Mount Storage Has Serious Benefits
It’s not always easy to talk yourself into smacking holes in the wall, especially when the stud finder’s out of batteries. We’re here to convince you otherwise. One afternoon and a few light smacks will fix up your surfboard stand in a way that allows room for growth and helps your room go together.
Horizontal surf racks, when done right, can easily be moved off the wall and upgraded to multi-racks when it’s new board day.
Racks for surfboards have come a long way from early DIY days. Bonafide board storage is sleeker, slimmer, and more stylish than ever, all while saving space in your house. You can even find a way to mount your surfboard display rack and hook up a cupboard underneath. Your favorite boards deserve a mounted system that keeps everything spic and span so you can focus solely on the forecasts.
You can put away the fun into a dark corner when you get home or you can hang your board up using the right surfboard storage rack and never be further than eye level from your favorite pieces of equipment.
Keeps the Boards off the Floor
One surfboard might not need advanced storage solutions, but it’s only a matter of time before your quiver outgrows your floor plan. Letting an entire garage’s worth of shortboards, funboards, and logs pile up in a corner will bring a fresh ding any time you want to surf the board at the back.
When the time comes, you don’t want to have to decide which boards to get rid of based on what kind of options you have. A great horizontal surfboard rack can fit longboards and shortboards while keeping enough room underneath to take advantage of your space.
Keeps the Eyes on the Prize
It’s more than just safe-saving. Board storage should highlight your arsenal just enough to get you out of bed in the morning. Hiding your boards underneath a dirty sock leaned on a dark corner is technically surfboard wall storage, but no surfboard deserves a shelf life as an eye-sore.
Instead, pair your boards with solid natural materials that help any room pop and bring a splash of endorphins every time you roll out of bed in the morning.
Keeps the Wettie airing out
Why stop at horizontal surfboard storage? The right surfboard hanger will have all the right hooks in all the right places to open up storage for all your surfing accessories.
There isn’t an entire closet’s worth of surf gear out there. Depending on where you are, one or two wetsuits, a backup leash, and a few bars of sex wax could be all you need to pair alongside your quiver. Using a display rack for mounted storage and you’ll have a home for every piece of the puzzle.
Nothing Beats A Bamboo Surfboard Rack
Now that we know all the benefits of hanging your board, let’s talk about the right way to hang 10 out of the water. Not all board displays are made equal, and you definitely don’t want to mess around when it comes to wall storage, unless you’ve been trying to figure out creative ways to get a peek at the neighbors set-up.
When it’s time for a horizontal surfboard rack, you’re best off looking toward natural materials. There may be a few synthetic materials starting to bridge the gap, but chances are incredibly slim that they can hold strong while keeping their carbon footprint low. That crosses off any plastic surf rack options that won’t get you through the 20s.
The flat-out smartest choice for your sup wall storage rack is the strongest, most durable, and most eco-friendly natural material on the planet: Bamboo. With a more muscular tensile strength than steel and the ability to grow almost three feet per day, we’d all be better off with a bit more bamboo holding up our homes.
Let me clarify; Nothing Beats Our Bamboo Surfboard Rack
There is no horizontal surf rack out there that is better for your wall or the planet. Our bamboo surfboard rack is durable, simple, and packs in some serious sustainability along the way. Made from nothing but the best natural materials on the planet, it already does its part, but that just wasn’t enough.
We’re out to prove we can make surf gear without harming the Earth that brings us so much surf.
That’s what directed us initially to bamboo and baltic birch, nature’s own super-powered air filters. Our pledge also introduced us to Vermont Natural Coatings, who harvest their coatings from Whey protein sourced from an organic family farm. This partnership allowed us to put the finishing touches on our racks for surfboards without any further damage.
It doesn’t help that it also looks great on any wall. It all added up to a horizontal surfboard rack with the best quality in the business, all without the carbon footprint.
The Kaua’i Series: Quite Simply the Best Horizontal Surfboard Rack On This Planet
Our flagship wall mount storage is quite simply the best horizontal surfboard rack on the planet. Early on in the design process, we started to realize the heavy potential we had on our hands, and several years of shifting around minor details and perfecting our rack have led us to this iteration.
The Kaua’i series is perfect for four seasons of adventure sports. Whether you’ve got to store a snowboard, wakeboard, stand up paddle board, or just a good ole fashioned single fin, this rack’s strong arms and flexible installation style will have your horizontal wall mounted indoor storage solutions done by the weekend.
Our series comes with a one of a kind mountain bar system that brings adjustable cradles on the wall. You can easily accommodate longboards and shortboards with a few minute shifts, no tools required.

It all adds up to a premium horizontal surfboard hanger proudly made in the USA and ready to serve as the long term solution as solid as your bottom turn.
Surfboard Rack Vertical
Storage for shortboards is one thing, but until we discover a magical wave you can enjoy on a 5'6" stick year round, it's best to have a few different boards up our sleeves. Building up your quiver becomes serious after you've got the right surf rack vertical. All of a sudden, you've got a few blank spots in your vertical freestanding rack just staring at you, waiting to hold onto the next big craigslist steal.
Getting vert starts at home. Whether looking for a freestanding surf rack or getting lengthwise with your surfboard wall mounts, a surfboard rack vertical storage solution is the next best thing to hitting the lip line.
There are many pros to storing your boards facing the sky, and with the correct set-up, the only limit is your imagination and your garage's dimensions. Surfboard storage doesn't have to be complicated, but there are a few things to consider before grabbing the rubber mallet or drilling holes in the wall.
First, you'll have to define the best storage rack for your set-up. Allow us to introduce you to an incredibly efficient match for anyone who wants a surfboard for every occasion. A surfboard rack vertical allows you to store every single board on craigslist or just put your favorite board on display.
The unique genre fits all board sizes and can even stack four seasons of boards into one stylish space. What else could you possibly ask for!? A place to store wettie? Yep, a surfboard rack vertical can take care of that, too.
Let's whip out the magnifying glass and take a closer look at an iconic commercial surfboard storage option making its way into the suburbs.
Still Debating if it's better Than Leaning Your Board In A Corner?
One sentence really sold the surfboard rack vertical storage system to me; You can have an entire wall full of boards stored without searching for studs. Freestanding surfboard storage is best done vertically, and even if you do want the help of a wall mount rack, lightweight padded arms barely reaching from the wall can do the trick without being load-bearing.
A Lot of different scientists say a lot of different things. I say that if you keep your board sitting at twelve o'clock at home, you'll be visualizing ripping that board up the face at high noon.
When Vertical Storage Is better than Horizontal Storage
Ultimately, it's up to you. As long as you go with Grassracks, any style you choose to store your favorite boards will get the job done. However, there are some key advantages to a surfboard rack vertical that help fills a particular niche.
Vertical storage is better than a Horizontal Surfboard rack when you've got more than four boards to store, a strict landlord with a no-hole policy, or want to take advantage of extra floor space to save the walls for Monet's. You can even find a great vertical rack for a single board that turns your favorite board into a full-on surfing display.
Vertical storage will almost always require fewer steps than Horizontal storage. Freestanding vertical surfboard storage rack options can even move around the house on a whim. The surfboard rack vertical style is about a general lack of commitment and the ability to expand your collection constantly.

Today, we'll give you a first-hand look at that equipment while exploring everything a surfboard wall rack should bring to your living room.
It's Time to Take your Surfboard Storage Seriously
We all know it's only a matter of time before a lousy surfboard or sup garage storage turns into dings on your favorite boards. If you haven't experienced the frustrating nature of dings delivered outside the water, trust me, it's not worth waiting to find out how far Solarez and duct tape can get you.
The benefits go beyond preventing surface dings by making your home feel more organized. A clutter-free home is a clutter-free mind, and a home with a surfboard hanging in the living room is a surf-full mind.
Besides cleaning up the joint, all it takes is a few well-placed arms to transform your surfboard from a leaning obstacle to a centerpiece.

Surfboard Wall Racks Free Up Space
There comes a time in every surfboard rack shoppers' journey when they have to decide to trust in a Surfboard wall rack or a vertical freestanding rack. If you have the wall space to do it, are under no contractual obligations that prevent you from drilling holes in the wall, and lack loads of free flooring, the choice to trust surfboard wall storage is easy.
There are definite pros and cons to wall racks and freestanding displays, but a surfboard Wall Rack mount is undoubtedly the most space-friendly option. Grassracks even packs wall mount storage models that can fit above a cabinet or bookshelf so you can get even more out of each wall.
While Staying Un-Complicated
Surfacing is a constant reminder of nature's brilliance in an increasingly artificial world. No artificial wave is better than a classic break, and there's no material more suitable for durable storage than Bamboo. You could spend decades in a lab trying to cook up Bamboo's insane combination of a stronger tensile strength than steel and rapid growth, but instead, we spent years learning how to unleash it.
The result is a serious surfboard rack uncomplicated in design, installation, or maintenance. The most intimidating aspect of a surfboard wall rack is the installation process, but you'll only need four tools to get our surfboard racks ready by the end of the afternoon.
Once hooked on, our variable mount systems allow you to expand and contract your premium wooden surfboard display rack depending on the numbers and sizes of your boards. You can also easily take the surfboard wall rack off when it's time to rearrange the furniture.
And Capable of Storing Multiple Boards
.
We've already covered how Grassracks premium surfboard wall rack options can be moved up and off the wall without tools after the initial installation, but an excellent surfboard wall mount won't stop there.

We've got you covered if you're looking for four-board storage on day one or want to mount one board for now and leave room for growth down the road. (spoiler alert: no matter how many boards you have now, you're going to want more) You won't have to start over from ground zero.

There's only one surfboard wall rack that checks off all the boxes: The Kaua'i Series

This rugged surfboard wall rack will keep the boards fresh for the grandkids and provide a permanent surfboard display for decades. Each of the padded arms on the unit sits 4 inches apart and reaches out over a foot, so you'll have plenty of space for single fins, shortboards and longboards, or even a sup wall.

Wall Mount Surfboard Rack
Know when to hold ’em, know when to fold ’em, know when to walk away, and know when to get your boards up off the floor. Unless you’ve got unlimited access to Kelly’s wave pool, you’ll never surf the exact same conditions two days in a row.
We’ll need a few surfboards up our sleeves to be prepared for the first big north swell of winter and still surf on long summer days when the local spot is looking more like a lake. Before you start taking home more boards, you’ve got to have a place to stow them all.
As soon as you get settled in a permanent location and start thinking about a second board, you’ve got to get your surfboard storage rack plan down. A Vertical Freestanding Rack is only suitable for living situations with ample floor space or garage storage.
It’s no secret that square footage is at a premium the closer we get to high-quality surf, but we’ve got you covered. If you’ve got to consciously map out every bit of floor space, or just like the look of a horizontal surfboard rack, consider wall-mounted storage, ideal for saving floor space and storing several boards.
A wall mount surfboard rack turns a surfboard storage dilemma into the centerpiece of your living room. It even hangs high enough for you to still take advantage of the wall space below the rack. There is no way to mount your boards without drilling a few holes, so using the wrong wall display rack could be worse than using nothing.
The proper wall mount storage will have room to grow alongside your surf accessories while protecting boards big and small. Choose wisely, and you’ll have a permanent wall display rack that keeps your boards looking fresh and ready to rumble.
Let’s take a closer look at the strengths of a wall mount surfboard rack, and see what separates the pretenders from the contenders.
When a Board Wall is better than a Surfboard Stand
Grassracks has several vertical wall mount options to store as many boards as your floorplan can handle. A proven wall display will help your kit grow without compromise.
Multi-Board Storage
You can probably get away with storing one surfboard haphazardly, either by tossing it underneath your bed or leaning it next to your front door. But who wants to own just one board!?
When you’ve got to have a high-performance board for when conditions are just right, a step-up ready for the first north swell of winter, and a beater to make sure there are no flat days, you need to start taking your storage just as seriously as your surfing.
A quality horizontal surfboard rack mount can hold four boards plus all sorts of surfing accessories and make each surfboard incredibly easy to access.
Making the Most of Your Floor Space
Leaving all of your boards freestanding or lying around isn’t sustainable. You’ll end up with a pile of inaccessible boards or dinging half of your favorite boards while trying to access the one in the back.
A humble, hardworking wall mount clears 6-24 feet of floor space and can serve as a surfboard or sup wall storage rack. Lifting your boards off the ground allows for effortless accessibility to each part of your kit, and it opens so much space for activities below.
A Bonafide Surfboard Display
Our bread and butter is our Wall Mount storage rack for a reason. There are tons of ways to throw a board in the corner, but very few surfboard storage solutions shine along the way. By snugly storing your favorite boards at eye level, you’ll be reminded what it’s all for every time you walk through the door.
A wall mount for indoors with extra hooks and padded arms will constantly grow and take shape just like any other piece of interior surfboard decor. That slice of wall will quickly become a montage of your surfing journey. Pair your Epoxy or Poly with high-quality natural grass or wooden surfboard storage racks to help your board glow at home and shred at sea.
Wall Storage Racks In it for the Long Haul
Flirting with gravity is a lot like messin’ with sasquatch - it’s no time to test wonky equipment. The right wall mount surfboard rack will have done all the hard work and testing ahead of time, so the product that arrives at your doorstep will be ready to hang for decades. Here’s how it all goes down.
You Take the Best Materials
The first step in ensuring an excellent board wall is harnessing the right equipment. I wouldn’t trust a Wavestorm to get me through mackin sets, so don’t trust a mass-produced bit of plastic to hang your boards up to dry.
With the Right Design
Next, you’ve got to get the design down pat. We mounted all sorts of options, tore up our plans, and went back to the drawing board. After several years of trial and error, we’ve found the best balance and stability to crank outboard wall storage that you can take for granted.
That Stands Out Without Sticking Out
There is no point in saving space with a wall mount surfboard rack if your mount features stocky arms that stick out further than they need to. Look for wall rack surfboard storage that gets the job done without being wider than your surfboard’s horizontal measurements.
And A Unique Mounting System That Installs in No Time
Finally, you’ve got to make sure your wall storage rack is accessible. Everyone can say their products are easy to install, but our interchangeable mounts walk the walk; all you’ve got to do is find the stud. Once your wall rack is hooked up, adding extra arms on new board day is more manageable than convincing the family you need another one.
Durable Bamboo Reigns Supreme
These requirements make it clear that Grassracks materials and quality design reign supreme over the competition. Not only does Bamboo have a stronger tensile strength than steel, but it is also one of the most sustainable natural building blocks on the planet.
When given the right environment, Bamboo can grow up to 35 inches in a day, all the while pulling carbon out of the atmosphere.
We patiently wait for our Bamboo stalks to hit maturity before coating them in a sustainable veneer and assembling our Wall mount surfboard racks. Every step of the process is handled right here in the USA. Grassracks has taken painstaking efforts to be the best racks on, and for, the planet, and the results speak for themselves.
Grassracks Wall Mounted Surfboard Display Racks
When it comes to storing multiple boards or crafting a larger paddleboard rack, you don’t want to mess around with gravity. We’ve got two great surfboard wall storage options with different strengths to help budgets, floorplans, and quivers of all shapes and sizes store their boards in style.
The Kaua’i Series
As the flagship model for the best racks on the planet, we set incredibly high expectations for this wall-mounted surfboard rack. We’ve scrutinized every aspect of this rack, from the mounting system to the angle of the arms, to hit the sweet spot between space efficiency and displayability.
The slight upward tilt will keep your boards locked into place as long as your wall is standing, and the padded arms help each board slide out without disturbing the others when it’s time to hit the beach.
Wall Mount Storage is incredibly permanent, but the adjustability and ease of movement in this rack can make the choice to drill holes in the wall a bit less harrowing. You can accommodate for fins, change up the mounting bar between shortboards and longboards, and always add on more storage as your quiver grows. You’ll have no trouble unhooking the mount from the wall if you need to repaint or rearrange the furniture.
Vertical Wall Mount Surfboard Rack
The best friend of display rooms or garage storage, our premium wooden surfboard display rack can grow, grow, and grow. We stretched out each slot long enough to serve as a paddleboard rack and give a home to every piece of your arsenal.
We spent years perfecting this board rack to look great and store as many boards as possible. Finally, we ended up with an incredibly organized wall display mount proudly made in the USA.
Surrounding each arm is a thin layer of padding that locks your boards into place. Tether holes open up the surfboard display for an extra security splash. Each rack can hold four boards and endlessly connect together until you run out of free walls. If you’ve got a room full of boards, this wall mount surfboard rack will make the most of your space.
