DIY Outdoor Hose and Extension Cord Storage
Outdoor hose storage can get expensive fast, especially when you start looking at retractable garden hoses and large storage spaces for your backyard. I originally started using this simple DIY bucket hack to hide extension cords in my garden. It also works perfectly for storing messy garden hoses without leaving them stretched across the yard. All you need is a Home Depot bucket, a power drill, and a few minutes to create an easy outdoor storage solution that helps keep your backyard looking clean and organized. You can even customize the bucket with paint or decorative covers to help it blend into your outdoor space.
