Professional-grade wall storage for bikes, tools, and equipment using basic PVC pipe
Commercial garage storage systems cost $80-300 and are never quite the right size. This PVC system:
| Item | Qty | Est. Cost | Where to Buy |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2" PVC pipe (10ft sections) | 2 | $8 | |
| 2" PVC elbows | 4 | $3 | |
| 2" PVC tees | 4 | $3 | |
| Wood screws (2.5") - box | 1 | $4 | |
| Wall anchors (if drywall) | 1 pack | $3 |
Measure the items you want to store. Bikes typically need 4-6 feet of horizontal PVC. Tools and ladders can use shorter sections (2-3 feet). Mark wall studs if possible for strongest mounting.
For bike storage: Cut two 4-foot sections for horizontal bars. Cut four 6-inch sections for vertical supports. For tool storage: Cut 2-foot sections as needed.
Connect horizontal pipe sections to tees and elbows. No glue needed - friction fit holds fine. Create a U-shape or bracket shape depending on what you're storing.
Hold assembly against wall at desired height. Mark screw locations through the PVC. Pre-drill holes, use wall anchors if not hitting studs. Screw directly through PVC into wall - the screw head holds it in place.
Hang your heaviest item first to test strength. Adjust height or add more supports as needed. You can always add more PVC storage units later - no need to get it perfect first try.
