Over the last few weeks I've been doing a raft of things, including rearranging the shed to use the available space more efficiently.
Richard (Eskimo) visited today to check out the drill press and was interested in the way I've stored the bicycles in the shed. I though I'd post here as it may save someone else reinventing the wheel.
What I've done is based on this - http://ift.tt/1fEbIeQ
The difference is that the linked one is Canadian and powered. I had a block and tackle bequeathed to me by a dear friend so I thought for occasional use that would be fine.
Over all it looks like this.

One end has a couple of hinges that hook over the rafters,

The other end is held up with a bolt. There is also a safety chain in case the bolts holding the bolt pull out - unlikely but much better for piece of mind.

In use the block and tackle allows the frame with the bikes to pivot down so they can be taken on/ off

Construction is mainly of 25mm galv tube. The channels that the bike wheels sit in are a couple of pieces of preformed, perforated angle that have been welded into a U shape.
