Bike Rack Attachments

Leaving bikes leaning against the garage wall or with their kickstands engaged in a corner just doesn’t cut it when you really want to take advantage of floor space. Hang any bike’s front wheel from a single hook and keep them off of the garage floor for good.

Shelves

Slat wall shelving not only helps you to organize your sports gear precisely, but also provides ample space. Store anything from manuals, to back packs, to spare parts and tools in space-saving shelves that allow you to see exactly where your sports equipment is located when you need it most.

Hooks

From skis to fly rods, hooks are the best solution to keep your larger gear safely out of the way and easily accessible. We recommend designating a zone on your slat wall system to keep related equipment together.

Wire baskets

Hanging wire baskets provide a simple option for categorizing and organizing your gear. They can hold a bunch of your balls together in one place, house your water bottles, helmets, gloves, trail runners, repair tools, and more. Your imagination is the limit.
