Right now I am storing them inside wrapped up in cheap HF moving blankets. This works ok, but is not that great for the bikes, and over time I am sure I will chip some paneling or rip the screen door getting them in and out.
Where can I buy what is in the picture??

The rack is a Swagman two bike rack.
The receiver was custom fabricated. I was lucky enough to get the two pieces of 6"X4"X1/4" angle Iron as extra at a job site. The 2" receiver was purchased at local RV dealer.
I marked and cut the angle, leveled 5er, used level to mark level cut line on angle. Found a local welder to weld up and punch the mounting holes gave him $40 for the work.
Here is the unit before having it welded, the hole in the angle iron was a free bonus.
