Bicycle rack from old skis and ski poles

Step 4 Install the vertical supports through the upper cross member

Insert the ski poles or other vertical supports through the upper horizontal cross member.

Now line up the upper cross member with vertical supports installed with the holes in the bottom cross member. Tap into place.

Level the upper horizontal cross member by tapping here and there.

You could install the vertical supports one at a time into both the upper and lower horizontal cross members, but we didn't.
