3 Questions to Ask Yourself before Buying a Garden Hose Hanger
There are a variety of garden hose hanger devices that can provide your water hose with storage so that it’s just not lying around on the ground waiting to trip somebody up. The methods of storage can range from a nail on the side of a wall or fence to a decorative metal reel. Here’s three suggestions I can provide from my 20 years of landscaping and gardening.
- The first consideration that you need to give is “how much are you willing to spend?” When researching for this article, I conducted a search on Google using that term in quotes and received 92,200 matches. That means – that exact question was asked, exactly like I put it, that many times; not necessarily for garden hose hangers… but for the purchase of any product. So your first determination for yourself needs to be – how much are you willing to spend to get rid of an eyesore and safety hazard? Garden hose hangers which typically attach to a wall, are the least expensive storage device, but they have a wide range of prices. They can range from $4 for a Do It Best Imports 58003 Poly Hose Hanger
, to $84 for a Perrault Round Hose Hanger-French Bronze
.
- Your second question should be where are you looking to store your hose – in a shed or garage, outside on the side of your house, or are you just trying to complement your garden decor and get that hose up off the ground? The cheapest product works, and would be fine inside of a shed for storage of a garden hose on a wall, but I wouldn’t recommend it for any hose longer than 50 feet or greater then 15lbs. It will serve a utility use perfectly… but it will look less then desirable outside in a garden, or attached to the side of your house. If you wish to store your water hose near your garden and it’s placement will be visible, then I suggest a more decorative approach to hanging your garden hose.
- A third question, because you are hanging a hose, is what type of wall are you planning on hanging the hose from? Is your house made of wood, plaster, brick, etc.? If your house is made from wood, then you could choose any garden hose hanger and install with ease. If your house though, is made of brick, plaster, or some other sort of material where drilling is needed, then you may instead wish to purchase a decorative garden hose pot, which rests on the ground, or a freestanding decorative water hose hanger, which requires no hanging.
Whichever you choose, I provide plenty of advice and suggestions on this blog to help you make your choice, along with reviews of many garden hose storage devices, and I provide an easy method for you to purchase those products directly from some of the most reputable retailers online.
