Bike Hooks
Bike hooks get your bikes up and out of the way when they’re not in use, freeing up a significant amount of your garage’s floor space. Bikes are a wonderful mode of transportation, but as every bike rider knows, a bike sitting around is just a bike taking up a lot of space.
Bike Hooks Attached to SafeRacks, for Overhead Storage
Bike hooks from SafeRacks solve this problem easily and efficiently. With bike hooks that attach to SafeRacks steel shelving, a bike is safely hung overhead, out of the way and off the ground. Although there are a variety of free-standing and wall-mounted bike hooks and stands available from various manufacturers, with SafeRacks bike hooks, the volume of a bike is removed from the floor plan the bike is no longer taking up floor space, as it would with those other options.
Free Up Space by Storing Your Bikes Overhead
Every few square feet of garage floor space is valuable! An adult-size bike on the floor takes up about 12 square feet (6’ x 2’ to get around a bike). A garage with interior dimensions of 22 x 24 feet, for example, has 528 square feet when empty; 12 square feet of that (for just one bicycle) is a significant amount of space. Multiple bike hooks can easily be attached for as many bikes as you have, stored above and out of your way.

Fishing Rod Holder
Fishing rod holders are the solution to an age-old problem how to store fishing rods without leaning them up against something, risking the chance of them being tripped over and knocked to the floor, or putting a “bow” in the rods from the continual leaning. In addition, storing your fishing rods up against the walls of your garage can expose the rods to high levels of heat and/or cold, which can cause permanent damage to the rods.
Stored Horizontally, Flat and Secure
SafeRacks fishing rod holders solve this problem with overhead storage of the rods. Fishing rods slide into snug, secure straps that are attached to the bottom of the overhead storage shelves. An elegant and effective solution, the sturdy straps are made to easily fit to any width of SafeRacks shelves: 2’, 3’, or 4’ deep shelves that can hold a number of rods.
Additionally, the fishing rod holder straps are designed to secure each rod in placethey won’t slide together at the bottom of the strap from their combined weight.
Versatile and Strong
The SafeRacks fishing rod holders can also be attached to the overhead steel storage shelves at whatever distance apart that works best; the configuration is up to you. They can be placed far apart for long rods, closer together for short rods, and adapted for use for other pole-like items that are stored well horizontally, such as swimming pool cleaning poles, some gardening tools, volleyball net poles, pool cues, etc. The fishing rod holders are strong and can hold a significant amount of weight. A SafeRacks distributor can help you determine the items that can be safely stored using the fishing rod holders.

Safety Nets
Safety nets are a great accessory for SafeRacks overhead garage storage. Made of durable, flexible heavy-duty nylon cord, SafeRacks safety nets are easily added to any of our steel overhead shelves. The safety net keeps the items stored on the shelf from falling or shifting in the event of an earthquake, or just when you’re rummaging around among the shelved items you won’t be able to accidentally knock something off the shelf to the garage floor.
Safety and Ventilation
The open-mesh style of the safety nets ensures that adequate ventilation will always be available for the stored items (as does the heavy-duty wire decking on which the items sit). Ventilation lessens the possibility of mold and mildew accumulating in moist climates.
Easy to Work With, Install or Remove
The safety nets are easily removed or dropped for access to the stored materials, then reattached for security. They’re custom-made to fit the sizes and heights of each type of SafeRacks overhead garage storage unit, including corner configurations.
