The previous owner of our home hung this. It doesn't seem to me to work very well. It's too close to the ground. Am I missing something about the way this hose hanger is supposed to work?

I also can't wait to find out what this really is.
It appears more akin to a bike rack than a hose hanger, save its location and not being "just right" for a bike rack.

If it didn't have rubber weather plugs, it would be easier to guess that the Owner took with him the upper portion that was designed as a curve to accept hoses, a tubal part that fit neatly into those upper facing holes. This does not explain why the need for a big hoop below but if this part was a) repurposed from its real function as .... ???? or b) built custom as a hobbyist (ref,. below), then it doesn't need to make sense

I'm guessing hobbyist.

Sweet Jesus that 2nd photo... that's nearly a $50 rack!

Edit... the mounts alone. Revising estimate cost to $75

Same thing I was thinking... I figured $100.00.
Nice work, but looks like electrolysis could be a problem at those flanges on the wall

Could be for a coil hose. See homemade version below.

That's actually pretty slick. If the coil hoses didn't suck so much, I'd pick one of those up.

Can't anymore. Seems like they don't sell them. I was able to buy a different brand of coil hose. This hose is for watering plants on the patio and works well for that… the hose reel I have there didn't work there so I am really happy with the coil hose.
