Any trees near by? Just hang the bike from a branch by the saddle

Don’t leave it there too long to dry

Our fence panels is my bike stand of choice and has been for sometime

Got one for my fatbike. Tied a snowshoe to it.
Great!
I’m not convinced it will stand up to the pressure my hose can put out

If you put a snowshoe on it?

Could you fix something to the house / a wall that you could hang the bike off a pedal (crank at 12 o'clock)? You could only do one side at a time, your wall / house might get a bit soggy and you couldn't turn the cranks I guess .....

By Christ man just buy a cheap workstand

Dave, if I remember correctly your sex dungeon (sorry, basement..... ) opens out onto the road Cant you put a mount/bracket on the top of the doorframe (inside) and insert a pole into it, then hang the bike over it from the saddle? Easy and quick to remove and far enough away that you don't flood the play room.

Possibly, far too much effort though and I think the massive door will always get in the way.

If you have a 15mm front axel you can knock up a cheap stand by using 15mm pipe clips from a plumbing shop. I’ve used a couple attached to a plank to keep my bike upright in the van. If you don’t fancy diy you can get 15mm (other axels available) mounts for truck beds etc cheap on eBay.

Lidl/Aldi bike stand would do exactly what you need, here's one exactly like mine:

Solid and folds up pretty flat, the legs actually extend much further out than shown, you can get them damn near horizontal. The pictures aren't good but all the clamping surfaces should be knurled. For £30 you're not going to get anything better.

I have that exact model. But I don’t really want bike raised for washing it.

As Alan Sugar’s narrator would say “The search ... continues”

Could you get one of the wall claw types and run it off the existing claw?

ie. use your stand to hold the wall claw then use wall claw to hold the top tube or whatever?

Or just go cheap and get a pallet with a vertical in the middle, wheels slot into gaps and bike leans against repurposed fence post or whatever.
