Renschler | Sliding bike hooks garage storage

I recently setup a sliding hook system for our garage bicycle wall.

We used to have hooks mounted directly into the wall but it wasn’t always easy to remove the bike you wanted.

I like this setup more because it’s easy to make space when I want to grab a specific bike or put one back.

hooks from gear-blocks they work with standard 1-5/8” strut that hardware stores have
12GA 10ft strut 1-5/8” home depot; only used 5ft of it
4x heavy duty shelf hangers; 16in x 10in home depot
bolts/nuts/washers to mount hangers to wall and to mount strut to hangers
- for each hanger-to-strut:
  - 1x: 3/8” × 1” hex bolt
  - 2x: 3/8” fender washers (>1” outer diameter)
  - 1x: 3/8” nylock nut
- for each hanger-to-stud (w/ 3 holes per hanger)
  - 3x: 1/4” x 3” lag screws (I was mounting through 3/4” plywood into studs, you might need different lengths depending on your setup)
  - 3x: 1/4” fender washers (>1” outer diameter)
