So a job for tomorrow is to install 6 Steadyracks.
For those of you have installed two or more of these what distance have you spaced them?
Any pearls of wisdom re installing into brick/block work?
They are easiest to use if you follow the fitting instructions which means each rack is at a height dedicated to a specific bike and enough space between that handlebars don’t clash.
BUT I am too tight for space to do that so mine are alternating higher which means hoiking the bike up into it but allows me to fit them closer together and save space.
Fixing to brick and block should be straightforward and solid unless your wall is flakey but instead of directly mounting to the wall mine are fitted to wooden uprights that I can easily reposition or reposition the racks on should my needs change.
I spaced mine (4) both vertically and horizontally so when folded to one side they fitted together as well as possible, with handlebars fitting between the fork and front wheel gap on the adjacent bike for example.
Also so they were as close as possible horizontally so I could have a single pragmasis wall anchor between pairs of bikes with chains and a d-lock one each bike. The bulk of the chain was also a consideration when looking at the spacing between the racks.
If you are looking at varying heights to avoid handlebar clash you need to allow enough headroom for the max diameter of your wheel...... ask me how i know.....
I’ve had 6 in the garage for ages. They are alternately staggered vertically. Higher racks are 212cm from topmost point of the rack to the floor. Lower are at 179cm. They are 35cm apart. If I had more space, a few more cm between them would be nice but they still work very well as they are. My big 29” full suss needs to go in a higher rack, XL gravel and road fit just fine in the lower. They are fixed into a block wall, I used decent plugs (probably fischer from screwfix) and what look like 8mm bolts (I don’t remember if they came with the racks). No special techniques, just measure everything twice, use a spirit level, drill straight and take your time!
I see mention of a Pragmasis anchor. I’ve done that too. There’s an anchor under the leftmost rack, a 13mm noose chain loops through that, then up through all the frames and d-locks on the last (most frequently used) bike. Works well.
I have a pragmasis chain and d-lock per bike and a torc mega anchor between each pair of bikes - the 'garage' is more of a shonky long outbuilding with a narow roller garage door and ropey old slate tiling that wouldn't be much of a deterent - I took the view that any insurance assessor would not class it as a proper garage for insurance purposes but technically as the bikes are all locked with gold standard chains and d-locks to an immovable object (the wall) they should be covered anyway.
Consider mounting them on to wooden bits so you can adjust heights easily if you get things wrong or change bikes.
Thanks folks.
5 out of 6 went up without fuss. I probably could have had them spaced a little closer but it appears to do what is needed.
I settled on ~42-45cm spacing between racks and that appears to work well with silly wide handlebars.
45cm is about right. Nearmost is at 37 and some bits cm and it’s too close. 
For bikes that are used less frequently, I put them in the end slots with pedals removed and bars rotated 90 degrees. Allows them to be pivoted really close to the wall (and to each other).
@feed I have all of mine tilted almost to as far as they will go to maintain a passage way as they are on the far wall rather alongs its length. Seems to work and a hell of a lot easier to pick a bike than having them stacked against one another!
