Upcycled Hose Caddy From an Old Fountain Top
10 Minutes
Easy
Let me give you a bit of a backstory. When we bought this house, it came with lots of random (nice) outdoor stuff : 5+ outdoor lamp posts, 2+ non-working fountains and a shed of extra planters and stuff. Some things we could make our style and some not-so-much. We got one of the fountains working (more on that in a different post) but the other one had to go. The owner’s before us had drilled holes in it to make it a planter, which definitely could be cute. The place they had it and really the only place to have it, just didn’t make sense. So, we decided to just disassemble it and sell it. Then, I got to thinking about the bowl of it. It slightly resembles a hose caddy (you know the bowl one’s that they have at hardware stores?). Yep, it could definitely be a hose caddy or that’s what I told my husband anyways.
My husband disassembled it and the we gave it a good scrubbing.

Use a dirty old fountain top as a hose caddy!
This piece weights a lot so, we rolled it across the yard to the spot where we needed it.
It had been used as a planter before, so there were already holes for drainage.
We plopped it down and rolled up the hose. So far so good! I love that we used something that wasn't be used in our house.
