- a main body having an inner surface and an outer surface, each extending between an uppermost surface and a bottom end, a ledge extending inward from the inner surface, and an open area defined at least in part by the inner surface, the bottom end and the ledge, and the main body further having a groove extending through the uppermost surface, the outer surface and the inner surface;
- and
- a lid adapted for placement on the ledge of the main body to substantially close the open area of the main body, the lid having an opening configured to be alignable with the groove in the main body such that a hose can pass through the opening in the lid or the groove in the main body or both.
A hose storage device comprising:
- a container placed under ground, the container having a top end which is substantially flush and parallel with the ground surface;
- a lid pivotally connected to the container to open and close the container;
- and
- a hose reel mounted to the lid, such that when it is desirable to use a hose supported by the hose reel, the lid is opened and pivoted until such time as a top surface of the lid rests upon the ground surface.
