Bike Racks & Bicycle Stands – for 3 or 5 Bikes

Bike Racks for 3 or 5 Bicycles

A bike rack keeps bicycles together in a designated parking area and helps create more organised bicycle storage. Intergard offers bicycle stands for either 3 or 5 bikes, suitable for use in locations such as gardens, garages and sheds.

The racks are manufactured from hot-dip galvanised iron to help protect the metal against corrosion and premature rust formation.

Why Choose a Bicycle Stand?

A bicycle stand provides individual parking positions for several bikes in one compact area. Instead of leaving bicycles loose around a garage, shed or garden, they can be parked together in a dedicated rack.

• Choice of 3-bike or 5-bike rack.
• Made from hot-dip galvanised iron.
• Galvanised finish helps protect against corrosion.
• Suitable for organised bicycle parking.
• Can be positioned in a garage, shed or garden.
• Simple freestanding bicycle storage solution.

3-Bike Rack

A 3-bike rack provides parking positions for up to three bicycles. It is the more compact option within the range and can be useful where fewer bicycle spaces are required or the available storage area is limited.

Before ordering, check the dimensions of the individual rack and measure the intended location.

5-Bike Rack

A 5-bike rack provides parking positions for up to five bicycles. This makes it a practical choice for households or locations where several bicycles need to be parked together.

Allow sufficient space not only for the rack itself but also for positioning and removing the bicycles.

Hot-Dip Galvanised Bike Racks

The Intergard bicycle racks are made from hot-dip galvanised iron. During hot-dip galvanising, the metal receives a protective zinc coating that helps protect the underlying material against corrosion.

Galvanising considerably improves corrosion protection but should not be interpreted as meaning that a metal product can never develop rust. Environmental conditions, damage and long-term use can all affect the protective surface.

Bike Rack for the Garage

A bike rack can help organise bicycles in a garage and give each bike a designated parking position. This can be particularly useful when several household bicycles are stored in the same area.

Choose between the 3-bike and 5-bike version according to the number of bicycles and the available garage space.

Bike Rack for the Shed

A bicycle stand can also be positioned in a sufficiently large garden shed. Parking bikes together in a rack can make it easier to organise the available storage space.

Measure both the rack and the bicycles before ordering to make sure there is sufficient room to park and remove each bike.

Bike Rack for the Garden

The hot-dip galvanised construction makes the bicycle rack suitable for practical bicycle parking in the garden. Position the rack on a suitable stable surface where there is enough space to manoeuvre the bicycles.

If the rack is permanently exposed outdoors, periodically inspect the galvanised surface for damage or signs of corrosion.

Bike Rack, Bicycle Stand or Cycle Rack?

Bike rack, bicycle stand and cycle rack can all describe a structure used for parking bicycles. In UK English, “bike rack” and “cycle rack” are commonly used terms, while “bicycle stand” provides a more descriptive alternative.

The Intergard models provide multiple parking positions, with versions for either 3 or 5 bicycles.

How Many Bicycle Spaces Do I Need?

Choose the capacity according to the number of bicycles you regularly need to park. A 3-bike rack is suitable when no more than three parking positions are required, while a 5-bike rack provides two additional spaces.

If your household regularly uses several bicycles, choosing the larger version can provide useful additional capacity.

How to Choose a Bike Rack

Choose a bike rack according to the number of bicycles and the space available at the intended location. Capacity alone is not the only consideration because you also need sufficient room to manoeuvre bikes in and out of the rack.

1. Count the number of bicycles you want to park.
2. Choose between a 3-bike and 5-bike rack.
3. Measure the intended location.
4. Check the dimensions of the selected bicycle rack.
5. Allow sufficient space around the rack for the bicycles.
6. Position the rack on a suitable stable surface.

Where Should You Position a Bicycle Stand?

Position the bicycle stand in a suitable location with sufficient space for both the rack and the bicycles. Possible locations include a garage, shed or garden.

The surface should be suitable and stable so that the rack can be used as intended.

Maintaining a Galvanised Bike Rack

A hot-dip galvanised bike rack requires relatively little routine maintenance. Nevertheless, it is advisable to periodically remove dirt and inspect the surface for damage, particularly when the rack is permanently exposed outdoors.

Avoid damaging the protective zinc coating unnecessarily, as this coating provides the underlying metal with corrosion protection.

Buy a Bike Rack
