A viewer request for a Garden Hose Hanger! Not your big box hanger! The hose hanger uses a couple of circles and some dowels to spread the circles apart. I also cut a hole and used some dowels to make a shelf where you could put the hose nozzle or a wrench or other small tool you use in the garden.
I also made a huge mistake while building. My original hose hanger was destroyed during assembly. I was a little too enthusiastic with a mallet while putting it together. There for all to witness and hopefully learn from. The dowels need to be inserted one at a time. Hammering the circle on to all the dowels is not the way to go. Unless you like building things multiple times.
I used dowels as the spacers to allow water to drain from the hanger. No standing water on an wooden item means a longer lasting project. Also used Titebond 3 waterproof glue.
Remember to paint it with multiple coats of exterior paint. The paint will help it last longer. And the large surface is a blank canvas! Unleash your creativity! It could be painted like a sunflower! Like a race car wheel! Like anything your imagination could come up with! I’m entertaining the notion of a shark face!
This project should go out by your hose bib. It’ll be a great place to store your garden hose.
