We have very high ceilings in our space and have two lofts made entirely of wood that work just fine. It can be a bit sketchy at times and access to the lofts is (ideally) restricted because of the inherent danger of heights, but it works well for us. <br>
<br>Oh yeah. We have a lot of hooks, too.<br><br>-Victor<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 12, 2008 at 10:21 AM, Jonathan Morrison &lt;<a href="mailto:jonathan@slcbikecollective.org">jonathan@slcbikecollective.org</a>&gt; wrote:<br>

been able find any messages of such using the search function, and<br>
there strangely doesn&#39;t seem to be anything on the wiki.<br><br>We&#39;re about to move our shop into a new space, and with its high<br>ceiling there&#39;s room to build a perimeter mezzanine level for storing<br>extra bikes and other stuff. &nbsp;Some of us are a bit nervous about<br>

having one built of wood (resuming building code allows), and are<br>instead thinking of buying a custom steel set-up(expensive!), or<br>keeping the bikes on the floor (taking away room for other things) or<br>outside in a container (not doable at the new location).<br>

<br>I&#39;m still into the mezzanine idea, as is one of the other members.<br>I&#39;m wondering what other shops have done for their storage needs.<br><br>Cheers,<br><br>Mark Rehder - Director<br><a href="http://re-cycles.ca/" target="_blank">http://re-cycles.ca</a><br>
