Hose Hangers

About Hose Hangers

Hose hangers are practical garden storage solutions that keep hose pipes organised, tangle-free, and protected from damage when not in use. Available in wall-mounted and ground spike designs, these essential accessories prevent kinking, extend hose lifespan, and maintain tidy outdoor spaces for both professional landscapers and home gardeners. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks hose hangers from trusted brands including Hozelock, Gardena, Draper, FloPro, and Sirius, offering solutions for every storage requirement and garden layout.

Modern hose hangers feature weather-resistant materials and thoughtful designs that accommodate hoses from 15 to 60 metres in length. Wall-mounted brackets provide permanent, space-saving storage on sheds, fences, or house exteriors, whilst ground spike models offer flexible positioning that can be repositioned as needed. Many designs also function as hose guides, protecting garden borders, corners, and delicate plants from damage during watering tasks.

Choosing The Right Hose Hangers

Mounting Type: Wall-mounted brackets suit locations with suitable vertical surfaces such as shed walls or fences, providing permanent storage but requiring drilling. Ground spike models offer flexibility without permanent installation, ideal for renters or repositionable solutions around borders and beds.

Hose Capacity: Match hanger capacity to your hose length—a 30-metre hose needs a hanger rated for at least that capacity. Standard garden hoses are typically 12.5mm or 19mm diameter, whilst professional hoses may be larger. Universal designs accommodate various hose sizes and types including expandable hoses.

Material Durability: Select UV-resistant plastics or powder-coated metals that withstand British weather year-round. Quality materials prevent cracking during winter frosts and degradation from summer sun exposure, ensuring long-term reliability.

Additional Features: Multi-purpose hose guides protect garden corners and borders whilst providing storage. Some models include integrated tap connectors or accessory storage, consolidating watering equipment in one location for added convenience.

Frequently Asked Questions

What length of hose will a standard hose hanger hold?
Most domestic hose hangers accommodate between 20 and 40 metres of standard garden hose. Professional or heavy-duty models from brands stocked at MyToolShed.co.uk may hold 50 metres or more. Choose a hanger with slightly more capacity than your hose length for easy winding without forcing.

Can I use a hose hanger with an expandable hose?
Yes, but select carefully. Expandable hoses contract when drained, requiring less storage space than traditional hoses. Look for hangers specifically designed for expandable hoses or universal models that accommodate their unique storage requirements.

How do I install a wall-mounted hose hanger securely?
Mark drill holes using the hanger as a template on a solid wall, fence, or shed. Drill using an appropriate bit for your surface material, insert suitable wall plugs, then secure with corrosion-resistant screws. Ensure fixings penetrate at least 40mm into solid material to support a full hose's weight safely.
