1. Removable planter plus garden hose holder
The garden hose holder from That's My Letter is a welcome solution to the garden hose pile the family used to have before this project. The removable top adds the convenience of being able to replant the flowers depending on the season and variety of blooms you have there. Plus, there's easy access to the hose inside for all your garden watering needs.
2. Gorgeous garden bench plus double hose storage
This garden hose bench from Sunset stores a couple of hoses and also provides a lovely resting spot for the weary. It's even made from rot-resistant hardwood, so you don't have to worry about durability. You can get this done in just a couple of days and for way less than you'd pay to purchase this in a store.
3. Turn a bucket into the easiest garden storage ever
Sometimes the best solution to your garden hose problem is the easiest one, as shown at Addicted to Homes. This is a simple 15-gallon galvanized bucket that wasn't in use, so it got a new job as garden hose storage. It gives a rustic casual feel to the yard and is very simple and easy to put together.
