Beyond the standard issue hose hanger; five practical and innovative ideas to detangle the garden hose and keep it off the ground.
Above: The galvanized Steel Hose Hanger from Swiss company Alba Krapf hangs on to any existing tap wall mounting, neatly solving the problem of where to stow the garden hose; €19 at Manufactum.
Above: Old wooden textile spools (found at antique shops and flea markets) bolted to a backyard fence create a hose hangar. Via Sunset.
Above: An industrial-strength steel bracket is bolted to a deck support beam for instant hose storage. Via Modern Cottage. A comparable steel Handrail Bracket could serve the same function; $16.76 from RB Wagner.
Above: This Galvanized Bucket bolted to the wall not only serves as a hose hanger, but also as a caddy for the sprinkler (or other gardening implements); $13.99 at Amazon. Go to Martha Stewart for instructions.
Above: Another simple bucket solution: store your hose in a large galvanized wash tub, like the Behrens 35-Gallon Round Steel Tub ($46.80 at Amazon). Via Addicted to Homes.
