Tie down ideas for garage ? (1 Viewer)

[beachcaster]

I have a Auto-Trail 690 G
On the floor of the garage are two rails with ajustable sliding anchor points.

But there are no anchor points on the walls.

Anyone have a neat solution for this.........to tie bikes and boxes down securely etc

I am also going to have to make up a bracket for a spare wheel to hold it upright.
Any thoughts on this also

Thanks

I would fit s/s anchor track as fitted in the back of removal vans .

Commercial motor factors usually stock ..

Google for a local supplier

whatever solution you use i'd be very careful as to where you fix any securing rings/hooks.

there may be some timber battens within the rear wall for fixing cycle racks etc, but knowing where they are is a different matter.

the wall itself wont be strong enought to take much weight on its own.

John is correct, however, anchor track, (sometimes called cargo track) has lots of fixing holes so it spreads the load along the wall rather than at one point.

I have fitted these in trailers with thin walls.. even onto thin plywood they are fine if you have plenty of fixings ..

found this supplier .. s/s and zink

Use a stud detector to find the timber framework behind the walls, you can get them from B&Q and the like for about £10.00 and they work really well. :thumb:
