Hanging wheels c/w tyres on walls - any strap or hanger recommendations?

That's why I was thinking of straps possibly.

 

I've got three sets behind the shed, two more in the garage!

All with shaggurd tyres tho ....

depends if you've got any floor space though.

I've got my spares up on shelving (collected from Freecycle.org). Scaffold poles and brackets would be good if the walls are strong enough to hold the bolts. Flat Bracket, Larger Pipe end, Scaffold pole sits inside the pipe ends, mounted on opposite walls. Use singly next to a wall (wheels lean on the wall) or in pairs, where the wheel sits in the gap between the two poles. Think the one pole and wall solution is probably safer.

 

you would need stong walls to take the wieght, each wheel and tyres got to be a good 20kg or so. I have mine stacked in front of the car and a set of manky ones for storage knicked from a friend so that the good ones dont get flat spots.

 

Old thread bumpage... spotted this:



All hanging on rawlplugs... anyway, food for thought!

 

Chris,
Have you got a local welder/fabricator or blacksmith near you?

I had this knocked up locally:


And am just having the lower 'extension' made to give 2 further rows, as I've run out of space.

It's all 2"x1" box section, with 25mm round bar for the wheels to sit against, some sections adjustable.
Anchored to the wall with 12 x M12 expanding concrete anchors, into 9" blocks.
Solid as...

It'll hold 16 wheels & tyres (up to 10" wide each) or 20 6.5"-7.5" wide Golf type wheels.

I reckon it cost me 250ish fabricated and delivered...plus a few hours to Hammerite it (16 for the paint) and the cost of wall anchors.

 

I stumbled over the pic by accident - more just posted for interest. I've since got wood racking in place.

M12 concrete anchors sound strong enough indeed. Fine provided it's blocking I guess? Bricks less easy?

 

need to make sure the tyres are pumped up though as over time if the pressures low you may get slight deforming of the tyre, I stack mine on a proper wheel tree that I got from lidl for 15, that way the weight is taken on the alloy and nothing rests on the tyre sidewall then

 

Use rawl bolts not screws and plugs for extra security.

 

I wouldn't have thought it matters, so long as you get the middle of a brick/block.
Bricks are more dense than blocks anyway, aren't they?

After all, spread the load over a large area and use plenty of anchor bolts (the ones where you leave a stud in the expanded fixing and put a nut onto that) and things will be sound.
That rack + wheels and tyres sat over my 911 for 3 years...it's rock solid.
