Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Measure and mark the desired height on the wall or beam where you want to mount the bike stand.
2. Sand the wooden boards to smooth any rough edges.
3. Optionally, paint or stain the wooden boards and let dry.
4. Attach one wooden board horizontally to the wall using heavy-duty screws and appropriate anchors; use a level to ensure it is straight.
5. Fix the folding shelf brackets to the mounted board, ensuring the brackets will fold down when not in use.
6. Attach the second wooden board to the folding brackets so that it can fold up against the wall when not in use.
7. Mount the bicycle hook or padded hanger securely on the foldable board, positioning it so it will hold the bike’s frame.
8. Test the stand by folding it down and hanging your bike, then folding it back up to save space.
9. Make any adjustments as necessary to ensure smooth folding and secure bike holding.
