Yard work and water hoses go hand-in-hand, yet for many people neatly managing their garden hose is often difficult if not impossible. Anyone who has spent any time untangling a long rubber hose to remove the kinks and keep water pressure steady knows exactly what I mean.
Fortunately, there are several practical and inexpensive solutions to hose management. Three options are a hose pot, a hose rack or a hose reel to help you maintain and manage your garden and yard watering tasks.
It Up With A Hose Rack
These racks are an excellent option if you prefer to keep your hose off the ground. This could help you keep them from deteriorating over time and also keep them cleaner as less dirt and fewer bugs will crowd its coil.
Hose racks also help you save floor space, as they neatly hang on the wall and help you make the most of your garage or garden shed wall space. Hose racks are often simple devices that simply allow you to coil and store your watering devices together.
Reel It In With A Hose Reel
Like the rack, the reel isn't terribly decorative, but it is a very practical device to have around when you're watering your yard or garden. A hose reel often features a guide to help you coil your hose neatly, a large wheel with a handle to smoothly pull your watering device into it, and sometimes even small wheels attached beneath it to help you cart the reel about the yard as you need.
Sometimes reels take a fair amount more space than the coil alone, but its ease of use and practicality make it worth it.
Hide It Away With A Hose Pot
If you want to keep your hose at hand while in your garden but you don't want the cluttered appearance of it coiled on the ground, you should consider a hose pot. Hose pots are pretty much what their label implies: a pot for holding your hose. Thankfully, this simple description belies the decorative appeal and simple practicality of these multi-purpose garden pots.
They often feature a built-in reel and they almost always feature a decorative flair to turn your utilitarian storage need into an opportunity to accent your yard or garden with an aesthetically pleasing copper or painted pot.
From pure function to function paired with aesthetics, the choice is yours. With a hose rack, reel or pot solutions, I'm sure you can find a way to more neatly and effectively manage and maintain your garden hose for many years to come.
