i want to hanging my bikes up in my bike-store by placing a pole across and then hooking the noses of the saddles on the bar.

the store is about 7ft across and i will hanging approx 8 bikes in there.

any suggestions (other than the obvious scaffold pole) of what I could use.

I can mount the bar above a vertical wooden wall support, but i suspect that given the combined weights of the bikes and the pole, i should factor in some pole uprights at each end and then simply bolt these uprights to the sides of the store... effectively making a n-shaped frame.

will alloy right-angle section be strong enough?

this should give an idea of what the store looks like:-
