This is how order becomes a design element
Store garden hose
A beautiful garden hose deserves a beautiful storage solution. Once you have invested in the LIVLIG garden hose, you won’t want to leave it lying on the ground or see it disappear in a gray plastic box. Fortunately, there are elegant alternatives — and LIVLIG has the right solution for every situation.
In this guide, we show you the four most popular ways to store a garden hose — with their respective advantages and disadvantages and a clear recommendation on when each solution is best suited.
Why proper storage is so important
Improperly stored garden hoses kink, become brittle, and have a significantly shorter lifespan. Anyone who simply leaves their hose lying on the ground not only risks tripping hazards and damage to the hose itself — they also miss out on the greatest aesthetic potential of their garden.
When stored properly, a garden hose is always within reach, stays in shape longer, and — if the storage solution is right — becomes a true design element in the outdoor area.
Option 1 - The Hose Reel: Order with Style
The hose reel is the most classic storage solution and at the same time the most versatile. The hose is neatly rolled up and can be easily unrolled and retracted with a simple motion.
The LIVLIG hose reel made of powder-coated steel is a completely different story compared to the usual plastic reels from garden centers. With its clear, Scandinavian-inspired design and coordinated colors — Gentle Greige, Sandy Stone, Graceful Green, and Authentic Anthracite — it becomes a standalone design object in the garden.
- Ideal for: anyone who frequently uses their hose and wants to rewind it quickly without compromising on appearance.
- Capacity: up to 50 meters of hose
- Material: powder-coated steel, 4.2 kg
Option 2 - The Hose Cart: Flexibility in the Garden
If you have a large garden or want to use the hose in different places, a hose cart is your best choice. The cart rolls effortlessly over lawns, gravel paths, and patio slabs — no dragging, no tangling.
The LIVLIG hose cart made of powder-coated steel holds up to 80 meters of hose and is available in the colors Gentle Greige, Graceful Green, and Authentic Anthracite. Weighing 10 kg, it stands stable — and looks like an accessory, not a tool.
- Ideal for: large gardens, expansive properties, and anyone who wants maximum freedom of movement while watering.
- Capacity: up to 80 meters of hose
- Material: powder-coated steel, 10 kg
Option 3 - The Wall Mount: The Elegant Wall Solution
The wall hose holder is the most space-saving option and at the same time one of the most elegant. The hose is attached directly to the house wall, garden fence, or a post and hangs neatly coiled within easy reach.
The LIVLIG wall hose holder made of steel is available in various versions and blends into almost any outdoor area with its simple, modern design. Especially in small gardens, on terraces, or balconies, it is the ideal solution: no floor space used, no tripping hazard, always ready to use.
- Ideal for: small gardens, terraces, balconies, and anyone who wants to store their garden hose in a space-saving way - suitable for up to 20 meters of garden hose.
- Material: steel, including mounting hardware
Option 4 - The Hose Pot: Storage as a Statement
The hose pot is the most surprising solution and the favorite among design-conscious garden lovers. The hose is loosely coiled inside a large, decorative pot and is hardly recognizable as a garden tool from the outside. Instead, it looks like a plant container or a decorative object.
LIVLIG offers the hose pot made of metal in various versions – elegant, sturdy, and perfect for anyone who wants to literally make their hose disappear without hiding it.
- Ideal for: anyone who wants maximum aesthetics and rarely changes the hose.
- Material: steel or rattan, H 40 cm, W 42 cm

Practical tips for storage
- Always drain the hose before rolling it up — standing water can lead to mold and damage
- Do not store in direct sunlight — UV radiation damages the material over time, even with high-quality hoses
- Store during winter — LIVLIG hoses are durable, but frost inside the hose can cause long-term damage
- Match hose and storage — combine your hose in Gentle Greige with the hose reel in the same color for a harmonious overall look
