- Wood glue
- Handle and hooks
- 1 – 1×10 @ 12″ – back

INSTRUCTIONS
STEP 1
Notch the sides out of the back with a jigsaw to match the ends of your 1×4 boards.
STEP 2
Attach the two side 1x4s to the back, with two screws into the back. If wood splits, take a second to predrill holes. Use ample glue – this is a structural joint.
STEP 3
Attach bottom to sides and back with glue and screws. Predrill screw holes if necessary.
STEP 4
Attach front to the shelf. The front is not structural – you can use 1-1/4″ brad nails if you have them.
STEP 5
Use jigsaw or hole saw to notch outsides. The notch does not have to be super deep – just enough to keep the bike from moving on the shelf.
Hang the bike holder on the wall with 3″ or longer screws into a stud in the wall with at least two screws.
