How much space does a vertical bike rack need?

For a staggered wall run, plan on roughly 400mm between hooks and about 600mm of clearance from the wall out to the hook. That stops the handlebars catching on the structure or on each other. You’ll also want around 1,500mm of clear space in front, so there’s room to lift a bike into place. We set the exact figures per site, so the layout works with your ceiling height and access.
