Building Gun Racks
Wave Bike Racks
Wave Bike Racks are the latest trend in contemporary and stylish bicycle parking racks. They have a modern distinctive look and have become very popular at city parks, inner cities, shopping malls, and in front of retail businesses and restaurants. In addition to their modern styling, wave racks offer greater flexibility in handling almost any type of bicycle. Bicycles have changed in recent years and that has necessitated a change in bike racks. The days of the grid racks have ended and bike racks must now accommodate mountain bikes with knobby tires, racing bikes with thin tires, beach bikes with fat tires, and all makes and models in between.
Wave Bike Racks have two main construction variations. The majority are made from traditional round steel tubing. However, a new variation has entered the market and is made with square tubing. The primary difference between the two is that the square tubing can not be easily cut with a plumber's pipe cutter. Therefore the square tubing variation offers an additional element of security.
The majority of Wave Bike Racks are constructed from 1 5/8 to 2 3/8 inch diameter schedule 40 steel tubing. They range from small to large and can accommodate from 3 to 21 bicycles. A common 9 bicycle rack will be approximately 87 to 129 inches in length, 3 to 4 1/2 inches in width, and 36 inches in height. It will weigh about sixty pounds. These racks also offer locking flexibility in that any standard "U" lock or cable lock will work.
Locating Wave Bike Racks in front of retail businesses and restaurants can improve the sales of these businesses by appealing to a new market, bicycle riders. Restaurant owners have commented on the attractiveness of the racks in front of their restaurants. They have also been pleased to see greater numbers of bike riders dine in their establishments. One retail merchant discovered that his new Wave Bike Rack significantly improved the traffic from one of his most important customer bases, the 12-15 year olds. And the color of the bike rack can be selected to match the color or trim of office buildings and apartments.
There are two primary methods to mount Wave Bike Racks. Racks designed for surface mounting will have flanges at the bottom of the legs that will rest flat on the surface. The flanges will have pre-drilled holes to accept bolts. The bolts will attach to anchors that have been embedded in the concrete surface. Racks designed for in-ground mounting will have longer legs and a piece of flatbar welded to the bottom of the legs. The extra length of the legs, approximately 18 inches, allows the legs to be inserted into a hole in the ground. The hole is then filled with concrete. Generally in-ground mounting is used in areas with a grass or soil surface.
Most Wave Bike Racks are protected from the elements with a thermoplastic powder coating. This coating is environmentally safe and is will not crack, warp, peel, fade, or discolor. Thermoplastic powder coatings will last the life of the product and are far superior to the traditional paint finish. In addition, cuts and damage are easily repaired. The damaged area is heated with an industrial heat gun and it will melt slightly and rebind itself. The damaged area will hardly be noticeable.
Wave Bike Racks will are simple and free flowing structures that will enhance any location. They have no sharp corners and therefore are safe for children. And they provide easy loading and unloading of bicycles.
