Art & Inspiration Have you used a old wire wheel, mag or rim for a outdoor water hose hanger??

My idea of mounting it on a hub/spindle was to mount on a metal post instead of mounting it directly to the wall, and also the thought of beng able to roll the hose up.

Just thinking out side the box. HRP

 

This isn't exactly the example you asked about but I have a Vega Rim and I think a metric? wheel (can't remember where it came from) to hang air hose on, I had two of the Vega rims (wheels but gave one to a widow I was dating 15 years ago to hang her (water) hose on. Not fancy but cheap. I added a box to the inside of the metric wheel to hold air hose paraphernalia. At least I can find it.

 

Both of those are good ideas. HRP

 

I think the idea is great!

So far everyone's wheel is mounted way too low IMHO.

 

I hauled around a set of American 5 spokes for 20 years only to find one was actually a hose reel in disguise. didn't find this out until I had the tires mounted.

 

Mine

 

That looks a lot like the mag's Sears sold in the mid 60's. HRP

 

Here, s my three, doing their duty. Way over due for a repaint from being out in the weather here in wet Tasmania. They used to have nice 35 caps on them but I removed them when I went on holiday in case some one liked more than me!

 

I've had a Model T Ford driveshaft welded to a 30-31 Ford wire wheel in the ground with a bag of cement for a mailbox post for 41 years. Bob

 

This lppks like the right wheel for what I want to do. HRP

 

Here's mine, not a wire wheel but it does the job;

 

I noticed in this photo you have bars on your door, around here you need bard around your heat/air unit, the meth heads will take it apart for the copper. HRP

 

I’ve always planned on using this one. Just haven’t got around to it. I don’t think it would get stolen!

 

Love the style. HRP

 

Bowie, they'll steal just for the scrap Al!

 

Yep and a mailbox post

 

Picked up 3 '34 wires about 35 years ago. What can you do with 3? Makes a real nice hose reel.

 

This one is slightly upscale, but it does the job. HRP

 

I bought a cracked 15X8 ET slotted wheel to make a hose reel years ago. Paid 10 bucks at a swap meet, but it's still sitting on the shelf in the storage shed.

 

Getting started on that project would be a good way to work that big Thanksgiving dinner off this weekend. HRP

 

I'm 1100 miles away from it this weekend.

 

I see, I see say's the blind man! HRP

 

Looks like a Radar wheel from the batmobile.

 

I'm too lazy to make one, too lazy to hang my hose up. It just sits in a pile in the yard. I really need to get off my butt and do more around here, lol....

 

@montana did that grandbaby get here yet?

aluminum wheels don't last around here they get melted................

 

I used a male /female hydraulic connectors for the spinning part on a hose reel I made several years ago . Haven't had any issues with it. I would think that they would work for water also.

 

Finally spent some time in the garage, cleaned up a bit, and took a moment to hang up a new hose reel. Used the original spare tire mount to secure it to the wall.

 

That looks like a good idea. HRP

 

Won't fly in my corner of the world.
