Is it truly "free standing?" All the pics show it up against a wall. I'd like to place it free standing (away from any walls) in my garage.

Freestanding in front bathroom with 2 mountain bikes touching no walls, great product.

It is freestanding. Mine is in the garage where the walls have a 4 inch cement footing that sticks out from the wall so it is not placed directly against a wall. the back section of the base is 6 inches to the center bar brace and the front (that holds the bikes) is 18". I have had no problems with it's stability with 2 bikes attached

It stands alone perfectly fine. If you want to put it in the middle of the room you can without a problem. The only issue this bike rack has is with slanted bike frames. With straight bike frames it works like a charm.

Absolutely free standing. I'd send a photo if I were home. I feared it might fall forward, nut it has been up and solid for months now. Even when driving in and out, with constant door opening and closing. You need not worry about that.

Mine is free standing with normally two bikes on it. It is still very stable when I remove the bottom bike and leave the top one. In fact, that is typically the arrangement.

Yes, that is how I have mine, but it is in a corner. I am not sure how sturdy it would be completely free standing.

You can place it free standing. I did not need to anchor it, it was tight enough to stand on its own. However I must tell you that it warps a bit in a very warm bathroom

It can be reclined without being up against something. I have mine as a divider for the living room and dining room, no wall behind it. It actually reclines farther without a wall. Either way works, though!

I use it as free-standing unit. However it does come with an installation template and instructions. Check Camco website; they may have that info in pdf. Good luck!

Hi, No, it is not free standing. It's a nice picture frame but just for hanging on the wall.

I would be VERY afraid to "free stand" it without securing it in some way. I purchased mine in the winter and stored it on our enclosed porch (cement floor) until spring. Any bump against it would cause it to shift and want to topple so I zip tied it to the outside stair railing. It also needs support at the bottom to keep the arch sides spread apart at the proper width to keep from straining the upper connections.

I have mine mounted to the wall in the garage and it is about 2 feet (24") off the ground.

No, I think that's one of the great things about this product. You can hang it at any height you want, as long as you make sure you find studs to secure it to the wall. In fact, we took the two rails and put them on opposite sides of the garage for two different reasons and they are at different heights. We added peg board under the Holey rails that we mounted on 1x2's that not only protect the wall underneath but also provide additional hanging space. We really like this product and the garage has never looked better.

Either we have it free standing but you have to allot for the propane hook-up. I believe it is designed to be wall mount but you can erect something like we have to make it free standing - I use it in a greenhouse.

I mounted mine in my garage without any problems. I noticed the width of the bracket also, so I just put a slight angle on my screws as mounted the bracket. Both screws hit the "meat" of the stud. I also used a magnetic stud finder to find my stud, drew a small line at the center of the stud, then centered the bracket on that line and screwed it in.

Does it fold up? yes it does, but it's misleading...for one thing they never said it weighed 60 something pounds...where can you easily store it? against the wall..takes up to much space...it's a workout just folding it up and moving it around. I just leave mine in the garage without folding it up..I think they should take out of there add the part that says folds up easy

I'm not sure I would trust it to be freestanding. I have it under a tv cabinet that holds it steady. I am very pleased with it the way I'm using it.

No much. Mine is free standing, but with a little cabinet trim work, see now reason why you could not.

Standing up, not realistically. You might be able to lay it down but I wouldn't recommend it. The base needs to be filled with water (or sand) and I think laying it down would risk a leak. Also the backboard would probably have too much pressure put on it in directions it isn't built to withstand. It really needs to be standing up and it's probably just too tall for any normal garage.

Bike is Suspended by Nylon Rope to the ceiling. I believe if anyone really wanted Your Bike bad enough, this Hanging /Storage System would NOT prevent them from doing that? You could However remove a wheel and keep it inside or pad Lock Wheel before raising it up! Cheers! Curt &gt;~iii~&lt;( sure freed up a lot of room in My Garage!
