Suggestions: Slip a piece of inner tube over the pipe to prevent scratching. This is more important if you hang the bike by the frame than if you use the seat. (I suppose you could use the skin from the snake but I'd recommend using the inner tube.) Also, consider using composite decking when the wood decking gets too many splinters. Pressure-treated southern yellow pine is really lousy decking. Composite lumber is more expensive but worth every penny.
Unbelievable that the UCI Redbull World Cup got 40k views in a week...you built a 2x4 bike wash and got 370k! You may have created the best job on planet earth...
Nice work Seth! I busted my ass slipping on some wet wood, and the combo of soap will make it even worse. I’d recommend some strips of grip tape on the wood so you don’t slip, especially if you’re barefoot!
Dude, I'm so loving your videos. Glad I stumbled across your channel. Just got me a new MTB after a 25 year hiatus from riding (now 46). Wish me luck haha! :)

That set up is definitely sweet. Your carpentry work looks good and you can ask 5 carpenter's to each build a box of the same dimensions and they'll each do it a little different. Only thing I noticed that may give you trouble down the road is the posts in the ground combined with excessive water use and being a natural run off for your yard. You may end up wanting to put concrete deck footings to get those posts off the ground just to prevent premature rot and sink. But what a f#$king fantastic job 💪
Nice build Seth! One thing I would advise for future projects is the use of concrete around the posts you bury. Reason being is Termites and wood having the tendency to rot when buried. A bag of pre mixed Quick Crete is only a few extra dollars and makes a huge difference to the longevity of what you build. You might have thought of this and didn't want something so permanent, which is totally fine. You can also buy a coating for the ends of the posts you bury to keep them from decaying, too. PS: Stain or finish on the wood might not be a bad idea either. :D
He did say he was going to sell the house though. Maybe that is why he did not do that. Much easier to dig up a bit of wood than getting concreate out of the ground if the new owner does not like it.
We are being SPOILED with berm creek videos and I love it !! These are my favorite. Thanks so much for such creative, entertaining, and original content. Amazing work as always !!
Nice job! That is a super deluxe wash station. I sunk a post in my back yard the week I bought my house, 18 years ago for this very task. Installed a heavy duty hook, and it was off to the races. Over the years I've washed tons of bikes, golf clubs and garden tools with this wash station. One of the best ideas I've had. On the back side, opposite the bike hook, is the can smasher.
Me as carpenter , I think this is brilliant and pretty good way of completing the task just by yourself. My only worry is that your platform may sink into the ground because of water and soft dirt
I was thinking the same thing, he made a great project. Holes a little deeper, level it, then a small amount of dirt so the bottoms of the lumber are out of the concrete so water in the wood can drain through, then concrete to fill the rest of the hole. I also like other's suggestion of course gravel under the platform to reduce run off erosion.
Seth, not sure if anyone has already suggested it, but it would be well worth it as well to put some stone crush under the platform to prevent mud build up and corrosion developing underneath. It will also help improve the drainage of the water.
Hi Seth, I made a similar design of your bike wash stand. I used old pallets that i had laying around. Luckily the pallet already had a platform like yours which makes it really easy. I then just made the bike post to hang the bike onto. This stand for me is multi purpose because it can be used for washing my bikes as well as a repair stand. which doesn’t cost anything in terms of materials.
'design' Idk who harry is but I'm sure anyone with a need to wash their bikes often would come up with something similar to this, it's just a platform with a post lol not exactly a patented scientific discovery... or plagiarism ...
You did one mistake: you did not varnished the wodden planks, so in the long term they will start to rot. But pretty good idea with the "washstation" and i love the squirrel-thing😂
Always sweet watching your vids, so naturally edited. If i have a land like that, I'd grow wild berries, fruit trees and veggies to make it into a perfect trail food forest. Just imagining riding your perfect trail on your backyard with all the natural foods around - thats sweet
That's not true. Yes, they can bite, but it will only be a scratch (I've been bitten myself when picking one up). You only need to wash it off at most. And they also don't have fangs, but they do have small teeth.
I bought my first mtb! I'm ready to hit the mountains!!! i got a trek bike for 500 its not the best but once i progress ill buy a better bike i currently weight 180 and trying to lose 30 pound SETHS BIKE HACKS INSPIRED ME 👍
I love this idea and when the heat here in Arizona backs off...I'm going to attempt my own bike wash station. I think I will try using a couple of pallets to make the job easier when i'm ready. Thanks!
I've always loved this idea! I would probably upgrade it with composite decking, anti-slip treading, and a piece of PVC over the pipe to prevent scratching the bike. If you wanted to get really fancy, add a weatherproof box to hold a chain-cleaning tool and degreaser.
Very nice. I'm thinking of doing one of my own. Some thoughts I have had: 1. I often clean the bike with both wheels off, and as such a couple of hooks or something to hold the wheels up and out of the way would be good. 2. Wall stand clamp to keep the bike from moving around. 3. Grip tape on platform. It will also show oil etc less. 4. Hot water supply. It's not a huge chore to fill the bucket inside, but when my situation ain't improving I'm tryin to murder everything movin', feel me? Cheers.
I built one of these out in the front yard, we have a hillside house secluded in the Santa Cruz Mountains so it doesn't look tacky. Actually came out really nice, and functional. Nice job, Seth.
@MTB Plan B I can also vouch for mineral oil, Weldtite Dirtwash drive train cleaner, Dot 5.1 brake fluid and the hydraulic fluid the rockshox reverb dropper post uses. My parents where so pleased on each of the occasions I stopped by on my way home from the trails to borrow the hose pipe and proceeded to clean, maintain and properly fertilise their pristine, professionally cared for lawn with these amazing lawn enhancement products.
This looks great, so simple too. I've always just used my bike stand (cheap $45 one) outside and hang my bike on it while I wash it. Same thing but of course yours is way nicer and more convenient.
Love the wash station. Gatta build one some day. For now i wash it on blue stone pebbles that i already have near my hose agaist my house. Its hard to make the bike stand up but at least the water can drain and the tires are left without mud before i bring it into my apartment. Nice vid ! A+
I washed my bike with dish soap, and I put some in a smaller shampoo bottle for easier access. The next week, my mom put that bottle in my bathroom, not knowing it was for the bike, so I ended up taking a bath in the same soap as my bike, and I didn't realize that until it was too late 😂😂
You know when the bassoon music comes out, Seth is about to get into some mischief. Edit: Just finished the video. I would suggest adding a removable band around the soap dispenser. I could totally see accidentally bonking it with a bike while loading and having to chase that thing down the hill.
This is pretty cool Seth, I just built a shop cart to haul all my tools and parts around, this looks like a cool project to add along side it. I’m definitely gonna have to take your idea.
Or drill a hole through the 4x4 to slide in the pipe, add another cap on the backside and it can't slide back out. Probably cheaper to buy the extra cap and 1" hole bit, than it is to buy those flanges.
Exterior wood screws have a shear strength of around 300 pounds, EACH. Their combined shear strength is more than enough to hold that deck, a carbon bike, and about 6 full grown men. However, if you’re an overachiever like myself, then yes, notching the posts is fancy and fine as well.
Seth I met you Breifly in VKBike park , Nice that you are doing awsome videos, very clear , didactic, with sense of humor, I am goint to instal that squirrel powered energy system in my house maybe I can charge my phone if the squirrel is stubborn enough. After Trying a lot of methods the one that works best for me is, Starts with mixing water with bike wash on a 2 gallon garden pump sprayer to apply the soapy water, then scrub, then hose, then use a Computer duster like the "X Power A-2" for to get the water out of those hiden spots.
Pro tip: Use Concrete Pier Blocks with metal brackets instead of 4"x4" into the ground. If you have an uneven surface you can make a level surface with the pier blocks and cut different length 4x4 posts on top of the blocks using some twine and a level. Then build/frame the deck around those posts. It's a lot more simple. I did this when building a 10' x 12' x 12' shed. Came out perfectly square. I'd still use pier blocks on a level surface just to keep the wood out of and off of the ground for a bike washing station. Save a ton of time, hassle, and future maintenance and use pier blocks. They're cheap. If you're not using pier blocks at least used pressure treated wood to prevent rot. An untreated post in wet dirt like that won't last long.
squirrelparty is one of the best things ive ever seen. id sit at my window and watch them all day cracking up the whole time might wanna wrap some old innertube around the pipe where you hang the bike from to avoid some scratches in the future
Great job, keep up the good work. Not sure if it has been Suggested but you should lay down some 3/4 “ mines gravel under and around your wash station , it will help reduce the erosion from the water run off.
Some time during the summer you and Alex need to come to Slinger, Wisconsin and ride at Little Switzerland Bike Park! It's kinda small, and I know it's a long drive but the people are awesome, the food is awesome and most importantly, the trails are sick! If you want a fun downhill time and you're fine driving a little, come up here to Slinger and it'll be a blast!

great minds think alike just posted the same thing then looked down and ah ummm thats awkward
maybe a layer or two of extra durable varnish will protect the wood from splintering and rotting from the water
I used foam pipe insulation on my hanger so the bike doesn’t slide or the seat doesn’t get damaged

Grant Henderson or put a plastic bag to it or a tube
Nice build Seth! One thing I would advise for future projects is the use of concrete around the posts you bury. Reason being is Termites and wood having the tendency to rot when buried. A bag of pre mixed Quick Crete is only a few extra dollars and makes a huge difference to the longevity of what you build. You might have thought of this and didn't want something so permanent, which is totally fine. You can also buy a coating for the ends of the posts you bury to keep them from decaying, too.

Quinn VanCanneyt yo how long this take u
@@notirishrider7953 true
I was thinking about black mold on the bottom of the wood from being soaked.
One other possible idea would be to use pressure treated lumber. For a little extra, you can gain many years on the lifespan of the lumber

Not exactly harmless. They're nasty and and they do bite. Since they never brush their fangs you gotta get a tetanus shot

Very true - wood screws are rather brittle when it comes to shear strength.

Or drill a hole through the 4x4 to slide in the pipe, add another cap on the backside and it can't slide back out. Probably cheaper to buy the extra cap and 1" hole bit, than it is to buy those flanges.

It's kinda small, and I know it's a long drive but the people are awesome, the food is awesome and most importantly, the trails are sick! If you want a fun downhill time and you're fine driving a little, come up here to Slinger and it'll be a blast!
