Coiled hoses are popular because they are ego - retracting and take up little outer space . But like coiled telephone set electric cord , their coil can become tangled , make it difficult to rive the hose where you require it ; it also make it difficult to make the hosepipe expect neat when it ’s not in consumption . An inexpensive and well-situated way to store a curl hose is to stick around a PVC ( polyvinyl chloride ) tube securely in the ground , then slide the coils over the top . You could also apply a sturdy wooden wager , which could be paint or left natural , or a Cu organ pipe , which will mature to a beautiful patina.—Colby Feller , New York , New York
