Heres my homemade paddock stand. Made out of 25x25 box section plus a couple of pins which fit into either side of the axle. Very simple to make and to use. I might add wheels at some point but on concrete they are not needed as the bike rolls back as its put on the stand. Also I plan to add a couple of bracing pieces (I like triangles) to the uprights. Total cost approx $15 and around 2 hours to make. Powder coating optional.
To use I first put the bike on its side stand, fit the stand by sliding the pins into each end of the rear axle, push down on the stand which first puts the bike vertical then rolls it back and lifts at the same time. Taking it off the stand is just the reverse of the above (but make sure you have the side stand down!). Lifting on and off the stand can be done easily on your own, so no help from the missus required, and its very stable.
Sorry for the blurred photo but thought it better go in to explain how it works.

I welded all the joints as well. You can make the upright bars longer as needed to pick up a taller tired bike.
