Abstract
A garden hose storage apparatus is particularly adapted for mounting on a substantially vertical surface and includes a side mount. The side mount has a base adapted for attachment to a substantially vertical surface and a cantilever journal is formed integral with the base. An elongated pipe is fixed in the cantilever journal and extends outwardly from the journal. A hose reel is rotatably mounted on the journal and has its axis of rotation substantially coincidental with the longitudinal axis of the pipe. An out tube is releasably connected to the pipe and has a connector adapted for connecting the out tube to a garden hose. A lock releasably connects the reel to the longitudinal pipe to retain the reel on the journal. Release of the lock allows the reel to be removed from the journal.
