Here is a rough drawing. The side posts should probably be left long, as opposed to adding feet. That way I can anchor it in some concrete. Also, it really only needs to support 4 bikes.

Welder
Does anyone have a welder I can borrow, or a place to weld, or want to do a small welding project? I want to build a bike rack and mount it next to the house. We had 2 bikes stolen last summer, and I want to be able to lock them up next to the house. I don't have enough room to store them in the garage. I can buy a cheap one for about $75. But they look pretty poorly made. I am sure one could be made for less and better. I am thinking of something simple made of 1" square steel tubing.

I've got a MIG, but no gas tank right now. You could use it with flux-core wire. -Jim
