Each and every spring, homeowners pullout the trusty old garden hose to use throughout another long summer. The garden hose is one piece of equipment that any green yard or garden cannot do without.
The problem that arises in many cases is: just where do you store your 50 or 100 foot garden hose?
Those that organized and respect the investment they have made in their garden hose will probably have a sturdy garden hose reel placed next to the house so that the hose can be stored easily between uses.
For those that are looking for a more decorative method for garden hose storage, consider investing in a garden hose pot.
When researching the kinds of garden hose pots that are available, you most likely will find that they can be made from a variety of materials. Copper garden hose pots are popular, but many cheaper models today are made of weather resistant fiberglass.
A garden hose pot can usually store more than 100 feet of hose. On the side of the unit is a hole, which allows for a continuous connection to a faucet or spigot.
Like in the garden hose reel, the garden hose pot sits on the ground, and can be partially hidden if so desired. They are especially useful for those homeowners that have an outdoor pool.
There are many varieties of garden hose pots available today. It is important to choose one that fits the outside look of your home.
For example, brick homeowners can easily choose a boldly colored garden hose pot, such as burgundy or blue to compliment the outside appearance of their home.
Other models are made of decorative stonework or terra-cotta to give your home or pool area a more classy or aged look. If ceramic is your favorite, you’ll have no problem finding a ceramic garden hose pot in many colors to match that will match the exterior of your home.
Surprise your neighbors this year and add a touch of class to your home this summer by storing your garden hose in a garden hose pot.
