Abstract
An apparatus and method for storing a garden hose is disclosed. The apparatus consists of an elongated tube which is at least as long as the garden hose that is to be stored in it, and the cross section of the tube is large enough for a hose to fit in it. The elongated tube can be mounted under the floor of the building with its end extending through the wall or it may be mounted external to the building. End caps can be used to seal the tube to keep it clean and protect the hose when it is in the tube. The tube protects the hose without requiring the hose to be stored in a coil.
