Stop wasting time (and money) untangling (or replacing) another hose.
[post_ads]First, taking the extra few minutes to coil your hose around a rack when you're done using it will end up saving you the time (and headache) of untangling or de-kinking it next time you go to use it.
So if you don't have one already, it's time to buy or make a hose rack. There are so many options out there: You can buy a garden hose reel cart, a wall mount or a decorative garden hose “stand." So choose the one that works best for your yard and hose.
Or, you can even go DIY. Here's how:
- Get an old wheel rim.
- Find a shady spot on an outside wall, near the water faucet. (Remember: The sun will damage your hose over time, so you want the rack to live in the shade.)
- Mount the rim to the wall between shoulder and hip height.
- Coil your hose loosely around the rim, starting at the end closest to the faucet.
- Repeat every time you're finished using the hose.

Note:
Never leave your hose lying on the ground. Fungus can grow, which could cause the hose to rot. Ew! Plus, all it takes is a clumsy boyfriend or a friend's car to ruin the hose (or create those annoying kinks).
