Questions and Answers for Proslat ProRack Black Metal 4 ft. Storage Rack

A:  I wouldn't think it would hold three adult sized bikes but you could probably do two adult bikes and a child size bike. It will hold about 3 Rubbermaid storage containers if they are the smaller size.

A:  If you strap them together. Rack is certainly strong enough to handle the weight if it is secured properly to the wall.

A:  Hi there, Mara- Yes, the ProRack will indeed hold three adult bikes, in fact, it will work with up to 4, but without much wiggle room. You will want to alternate hanging from front/rear tires. Thank you,

A:  Yes, if use you use strong anchors like a Lag Shield anchors for block or brick and lag bolts sized for the anchors. I recomment 3/8" for the top ones. The bottom ones are not so critical. Weight on the shelf will try to pull the top away from the wall.

A:  Yes, I believe so as long as you use appropriate fasteners. It’s a very heavy, well built shelf.

A:  Hi SAV- Thank you for your question. ProRacks can certainly be mounted to cinder block. You will want to consult an authority on what type of fastener to use however - it depends on the age of your cinder block and humidity levels in the environment where you are. Older concrete block can dry out and crumble. The supplied fasteners are intended for use with timber frame structures, so you will want to source your own concrete lag bolts that are best for use with the type of block that you have and the hardness thereof. Feel free to email us if you have other questions. Sales@proslat.com or 1.888.691.2944x231. Thank you!

A:  Yes! You would have to use concrete anchors or preferably toggle bolts.

A:  Hi KenP, As much as we would love to say yes, we would need a bit more information. The lag bolts that come in the box are intended for use with a timber frame structure, so for certain you would need to source your own fasteners. Beyond that, we're happy to help if you would like to email more details to us at sales@proslat.com or phone 1.888.691.2944 and follow the prompts to get to customer service. Thank you.

A:  Good question, Jude. Typically residential construction calls for 16" OC studs, but if yours are 18, there are holes in the wall mount bracket to accomodate for this. You'll want to make sure you lag into your studs at both the top & bottom of the wall mount bracket (part H) to ensure weight bearing capacity.

A:  Yes, the rack has mounting holes along the back to install when wall studs are not 24 inches apart.
