Hose storage. Lets see them.

How do you store/hang your garden hoses?

Ive given up on reels. Seems like theyre always leaking and in the way. Ive wasted hundreds on the latest and greatest reels. What do you need wheels for anyways, I only move mine twice a year !!

So this is my new method (last few months). Hose hanger is from Lee Valley. Putting it up high on the wall means more hose can be stored with less wraps. This picture was right when the hose was removed from a reel and hung up so it still had memory. Its laying nice and straight now.

Whats your preferred method?

I'm wondering if the Garage Journal has some kind of official rule on how long you have to wait before starting a thread on the same subject? How about we use one year? If you start a thread within one year of a previous thread on the same topic, Ryan will give you a 30-day timeout...whaddya say? ;-}

I usually just tuck mine into the waist band.

Grew up in the country to much I guess, truck rim on a fence post always worked well

I use container hose reels because they keep my hoses out of sunlight, they make it a lot easier and faster to wind up/put away, and my hoses have never gotten kinked since using them for the past 4 summers, but every hose I've ever had before that not on a reel has gotten a dreaded kink within the first year. The most expensive one Home Depot, Lowes, Tractor Supply, Menards, etc "Heavy- duty" "Contractor-grade" "Kink Free" "Premium-Rubber" Vinyl, hybrid, even the old USA made black rubber Craftsman from Sears, it doesn't matter, they all kinked easy as hell, always within the first summer, and as soon as they did they are garbage to me.

Why hang it up when you can let it lay in the grass and move it around every time you need to mow

For things worth hanging up, I'm a truck rim guy. They're abundant and effective.

This is the way. Buy once cry once.

I use clay hose pots. I carefully put the hose back so it doesn't kink and they are outta sight.

All of my water hoses are the older black Craftsman water hoses and I have one old faithful in the bunch that is 40 years old. That’s right 40 years. It has stayed outside it’s entire life. For reels I use the decorative aluminum wall mount ones in two sunny locations and a plastic wall mount reel where it is always in the shade. No kinks in any of the hoses, but I am very particular with handling them. When I heard Sears was closing I bought the last hoses they had in my area and still have a new 25 footer on the shelf in reserve.

Just in case someone want to search for them, I believe it is spelled "Eley".

I don't have any smaller wheels/rims handy other wise I would do that.

I went with Home Hardware's finest
