What is the best way to store the bars not being used. It is going to take a while for me to go through all 6 bars. Thanks

I just have them in the bathroom cupboard behind closed doors original wrapper as they came. Soap seems to hold for a long time if not dropped. I have one in shower and one on Counter. I Think you should keep them in a dark dry place. That is all I can tell you.

Dry, cool, in the dark, and in the original wrappers. Each bar is individually wrapped. It's delivered with another wrapper around all six.It's made from olive oil so I started with how I store good quality olive oil.Not sure this is optimal but it seems to work well so far.

I store mine in my linen closet and the dryness there seems to protect them, plus they are away from light.

In an open topped cardboard box, in a cool dark area such as a closet or bathroom cupboard.

I do not use the brackets, I just twisted it into place. I've been using it daily for months. When you pull up or hang on the bar from one side, it will slightly tighten the bar each time you use it. When you hang on the bar from the other side, it will slightly loosen each time you use it. So always use the side that will tighten it slightly. Otherwise, it could loosen over time with or without the brackets.

I took the screws out to store mine. The beams fit pretty snug so depending on what your needs are you could leave the beams a little long so they wouldn't wobble out or put in a couple of screws part way or drill a couple of holes for removable pins, (which is what I think I will do next time I use them).

Installing the grab bars into wall studs is the only sensible way to do it. Think about it--a hollow wall will not give a good "hold" and with enough time, the grab bar will eventually disconnect from the hollow wall and all you'll have is the grab bar in your hand as you lay in the tub or shower or floor. I installed 7 of the grab bars in the house and every one of them is screwed into wood. I wanted secure bars that would stay installed forever. Does this help?

Mine lasted a week. Not very long, I used with bars keeper maybe that had something to do with it.

Someone else commented that it takes alot to remove this and I agree. Anyone trying to take this will be spending a bit of time trying to remove it. As suggested, tamper proof nuts would seem like a good way to go. A long shank padlock would probably fit over the crossbars and rack and lock it on too.

If it has to be outside I would suggest putting a tarp over it. The bar will swell, wood does, and most likely turn black or moldly if it is always wet. Also, I am sure the metal will rust at some point. If space is an issue, take it apart and leave it inside. You have invested a chunk of money in this piece of equipment, and leaving it out in the rain is a sure fire way of watching that investment go down the drain.

I just pressed them in. You could also put the plastic piece on the floor and press the bar onto them from the top. Just make sure they are aligned well so you don't maim the plastic piece when you press down.

I did store mine the same way. Works the same when getting it out from sealed bag.

There is one lid to pull up and you wipe the collection bars with a warm cloth, let them completely dry then put it back together. It does not take but a few minutes. Honestly it is hard to put into words what I mean, if I could show you a picture it would help. I think there may be a picture on the original description for this product.

I had 35 on each bar and it was fine until I set it down. The bars bend very easily because they are cheap. If you don't slam your weights you should be ok. Would put them over your head though, look for a threaded handle for that.

There are separate slats that fit on the bars. You can move them where you need in order to fit around the pipes. It is sturdy and I have enjoyed the neatness and extra storage with this would recommend.

You could always bolt longer bars to the current ones. Make your own bars out of wood or metal. In most cases still cheaper than the Thule version.

They are taped to the bottom of the bar!, WE could not find them for days! It is a great bar!

I have had mine over a year and had not had to replace them. They serve the purpose of keeping the bars together. This is the best I have ever had, almost ordered two so I would never be without.

There are two bars that go across long way. They come apart in the middle and the front and back ends drop down pretty flat. Even comes with a carrying case.

Just keep them is a dry flat place. I keep mine in the plastic sleeve it came in. It won't go bad unless it gets wet but it will crack if it bends. It looks super cool. :) good luck.
