Making a bike stand

[Old and Slow]

I'm looking for advice or ideas for a bike stand for 6 bikes, to put outside a coffee shop.
There is limited space so the bikes need to be as close as possible to parallel with the wall. I was thinking an angled rack, similar to car parking spots.

I'm either looking for an off the shelf solution, some design ideas, or someone that can quote to make them for me.
Would prefer 2x stands for 3 bikes or 3x 2 bikes rather than 6 individual stands, as these will need to be put out and packed away each day.

Based in the Winelands, WC.

These things are great, and have a built in cable lock. Vertical and angled so about as compact as you'll get. Can take some abuse from the elements, there are a few down the road from me that have been there for years and still looking solid.

If you've got miles of wall space but no depth, something that supports the back wheel might be easier as long as there's minimal overlap between the bikes.

Excuse my ignorance but wouldn't one of these work? They look really simple to make if you want to do it cheaply. I see them outside a few coffee shops but have never used one, so I can't comment on whether they damage saddle rails but nothing some foam can't fix.

Thanks for the suggestions, but not really what I'm looking for. 

As you said @droo, we have a fair amount of wall space, but can't really come out far from it. 

Hanging the bikes from the wall means that you are at bar height away from the wall, anything up to 1.1m (roughly)

Having the rear wheel and handlebar against (close to) the wall means at most you are 780mm out, less on the angle and less with road bikes (majority of customers).

Hopefully that makes sense.

Something like this?

That's very cool, and could work nicely!

This is what I had been thinking along the lines of though.
I guess I should have posted this from the start.

If you go for this type, just make sure a 29x3 can fit ... yes, many 2,8 tyres out there.

 

Add caster wheels at one end, just above ground level .... lift the other end and you can easily move these at the end of the day.

We have used this one at Bootleggers in Stellenbosch.

 

Works good enough

 

Makes good use of very limited space.

 

 

But ..... have to wonder about the logistics of packing it away ..... must be way to make it a quick assembly unit ....

Get a few big and heavy tree stumps about 450 to 500 mm in length and cut into it with a chainsaw a gap big enough to accept front wheels . Cheap,difficult to steal and nice looking

Holdfast do something very similar, they’re local as well. Could probably tailor it to what you need.

our LBS has a few for their coffee shop. 2 of them are welded up units, but they are light enough for the barista to get in and out of the shop by himself.

But they also have 2 more that they bring out for busy days, these are assembled once they've been brought out.

LBS coffee shop sacrifices 2 parking bays for this, thats enough to get 4 of these stands setup (2 per bay). Racked roughly with a mix of MTB and road bikes, I would estimate 32 bikes across the 4 stands.

So our problem is we have zero parking bays available, only a few meters of walkway that still needs to be accessible enough for patrons to be able to walk through.

So the stand solution can't extend more than 1m from the wall into the walkway, hence the need for some kind of custom solution.

This is the best example I can find of what I am looking for, although I would need more space between the bikes and a greater angle (bike standing almost parallel with the wall).


So far the most viable option is the one @Danger Dassieshared, but R12k is a bit steep when you buy 6 of them.
