Turn An Old Hose Into Garden Equipment With These Clever Ideas
By D.G. SCIORTINO
Trellis
Cut your hose into pieces that can fit inside a wooden frame or an old screen window frame. Run wires through each piece and tie them at the frame’s sides for a DIY trellis.
Basket
For this, create a spiral for the base of your basket. Then, begin winding your hose upwards until you reach the top, using zip ties to connect it together every few inches.
Wreath
For a DIY wreath, wrap a hose into a circular shape and intertwine it within itself to help keep its shape. Use the hose’s end to tie a bow on the top before decorating it.
Mat
Take the nozzle of the hose as your mat’s center and keep wrapping the hose around itself until your mat reaches your desired size. Use zip ties to secure each row.
Chair
If you have an old chair with broken slats, weave your old hose around and through its frame until it’s strong enough for you to sit on. Secure it with zip ties or glue.
