Garden Hose Container

[Anonymous]

Hello -

Our hose drives me crazy and I am looking for some way to contain it from taking over the side of our patio. Our patio is flagstone so something staked doesn't work, and we can't attach anything to the siding of our house based on the set up. We need something free-standing, which I have read can be a challenge bc they are rarely sturdy enough. I have seen a lot of open copper cylinders and boxes but they seem somewhat problematic to me - perhaps I am missing something.

What have folks used that is not $500 but solves a simple problem of keeping an unruly hose neat when not in use?
