Take two one-way discs and weld them to a section of 4" pipe on a

Last summer, I made a hose rack of an old bent rim and a square tubing
(heavy) post. Set it in concrete. Well, everyone had to have one, so I
made six. I gave them away, or accepted a payment of a free dinner or
such.
I think I could sell them for $20 each at the flea market. Only thing,
don't use too small a diameter rim, as they won't hold a lot of hose,
and it
doesn't run around the rim as sweet as one with a bigger arc. I guess
you
could bolt it on with U bolts if you don't have a welder. I go to the
local
tire shops, and they will give me all the bent rims they have every time
I
go.
A simple solution to a complex problem.

Or stop by your local big box or hardware store and buy a hose rack
for a couple bucks.

Yeah, I guess that would work, too. If your taste is in cheap pieces of
**** that don't last more than two seasons.
I hang good 50 and 75 foot black Goodyear hoses on mine. The heavy ones.
Sometimes I have two lengths on there. Those light cheesy piece of ****
two dollar hose racks from the local big box or hardware stores won't even
hold up the weight.
That is what I found on the shelf last year- thin metal or plastic. This
year, I found real thick bent and welded brackets everywhere, cheap. All
made in China or Taiwan, and I had to provide my own lag bolts, but they
hold up my 100-foot commercial-grade black rubber hose just fine.
