Recommendation for an Outdoor Bike Stand

Question

Question:

Can this rack be used outdoors? We are a condo complex and need 10 racks, but they need to be substantial enough to store bikes outdoors in Florida. We are NOT looking to spend $200 - $300 per rack. Can you tell me the thickness / gauge of the tubing? Thank you!

Bike storage rack # S64019 is more of an indoor type of rack like for a garage or shed. For an indoor or outdoor rack take a look at # S64016. It is zinc and powder coated to stand up to the elements. The steel tubing is under a 1/4 inch thick so it is not heavy gauge.

We do have many other options and I have included a link to them for you.
