Box Fan Air Table CORNER BIKE RACK Idea Works Great For Small apartments! (Simple Wall-mounted Bike Hook/Rack!)

One of the best places to mount anything is in the corner of a room. This is because most corners in wood-framed houses contain DEADWOOD.

Deadwood is solid framing lumber that can easily be drilled and fastened into. The vast majority of stick-built houses are framed with studs forming solid 90-degree surfaces in the corner.

I wanted to utilize this space for my corner bike rack, so I cut a long, beveled triangular wedge from a scrap piece of 2x4. (I also chamfered the back of this triangular wedge so it would hopefully tuck into the corner more easily.)

I positioned this wedge strip in the corner and predrilled through it into the wall. Surprisingly, I didn’t hit studs directly behind the wedge! This happens sometimes due to framing irregularities.

It’s really not a big deal though, because there is ALWAYS wood somewhere in the corner. I found a reliable stud on the right-hand side, and fastened the wedge to that with 3” deck screws. (The wall also was not completely square, but that’s not uncommon either.)

I then pre-drilled and attached a simple $3 bike hook into the triangular wedge. I set the bike hook at just the right height to catch my front wheel when I stand the bike up.

To finish the project, I made a 90-degree inside corner out of two short, narrow boards, and fastened it to the lower portion of my wall corner. This L-shaped component is simply there to keep the bottom tire from rubbing up the wall.

That was the whole project! About $7 worth of materials, and maybe 45 minutes.

Thanks for watching!
