Do you have exposed joists in the garage? If so, just attach a 2' long
2x4 and hang the coiled hoses. You should be able to get 2 per side.Â
Take a segment of 12 or 14 gauge electrical wire and use it as an
oversized twist tie to keep the hose together. If you put the 2x4
across the top of the joist, it should leave plenty of headroom.

A little research on my part may
have helped. It seem like the diameter of the garden hose
"package" when you buy it nicely coiled up in the store is
around 15 inches. I am assuming
that I have neither the skills nor the patience to to re-coil it
as neatly as the manufacturer did. I therefore am assuming the
solution will need to
have at least a 15 inch inside diameter.<br>
<br>
5 gallon buckets are about 12 inches, but I will give it a try
this weekend based on the price and
availability of 5 gallon buckets though I am not optimistic [see
previous skill and patience disclaimer]. <br>
<br>
Sonotube may also work. Home Depot
has 16 inch ... actually Quik-Tube from Quickrete ... for $15
that may work. The SawsAll will make the 48 inch long tube into
four 12 inch tubes and
I'd have to fabricate a bottom for each but some 1/4 hardboard
and construction adhesive may resolve that challenge.<br>
<br>
Plastic garbage cans seem
to fit the dimension requirements. Menard's has Rubbermaid Heavy
Duty 32 gallon for $10 after rebate ... complete with an
impressive Menard's logo on
them!!!. The challenge there is how to store 6 hoses in a way
that would allow random access to any individual hose. The 6
buckets and a SawsAll
session to cut them down to a reasonable size solution seems a
little wasteful. However, If the 5 gallon buckets don't work out
and the Quik-Tube
looks like to much work then buying a few buckets, calling it
done and moving on to something I really do want to work on may
be the best
solution.<br>
<br>
Thanks again for the suggestions and I'll let you know what
works out,<br>
