There are several ways you can store your garden hose.
Many store-bought hose holders can be very expensive, whether they allow the hose to lay on the ground or corral the hose above the ground. But if you are handy, there is no reason to spend money on a hose holder. You can easily construct a hose holder best suited to your needs from materials that you already own.
Instructions
Bucket or Pot Holder
1. Place a large bucket under the hose faucet.
2. Fill the bucket with water.
3. Wrap the end of the hose around the outside of the bucket. Take care not to spill the water. This storage method is not advised for areas that have a lot of mosquitoes or during freezing temperatures.
Wall Holder
4. Cut a 2-inch wide hole in the center of each of the plywood pieces with the scroll saw.
5. Glue the ends of one of the PVC pipes to the holes inside the boards with epoxy, creating a spool. Allow the glue to dry for 24 hours.
6. Paint or varnish the hose holder to prevent the wood from rotting and make it look more attractive.
7. Drill four, ¼-inch wide holes into one of the wood boards about 2 inches away from each corner. Slip screws with a wide head inside the holes.
8. Screw the hose holder against the wall with the power screwdriver near the outdoor water faucet.
