    Hi!
    My garden hose is very heavy. What is the most convenient way to keep them in order? When it is not a dry season, I put it right under the deck. But it looks not very good.

    where and how do you store the hoses?

    You can buy reels to put garden hoses on which keeps them neat and tidy. Do a search on the internet and I'm sure you'll find what you're looking for.

    It is always a dry season around here so my hoses are out year round. I have free standing hose hangers that keep them off the ground and handy to reach. I also do not use the standard heavy black hoses, I am trying out the Flex Hoses, they extend when the water is turned on and contract when it is off and the hose is empty. They make a much smaller coil on the hanger and are hardly noticeable when not in use.

    Do you have the reels? Is there any difference in brands? I found this reel

    Also, I want to check the local store, maybe I will find something cheaper during the Christmass sales.
