Anybody have a creative way to store and inventory their spare hoses. I have a bunch of mine hanging from a pipe from bungees and a bunch more coiled and laying on the floor. I tag them for where they go but the equipment room still looks messy with them laying around and is kinda of a hassle hanging them from the pipe. I can't think of any creative way to store them.

Take a 2x4 and a long piece of wooden dowel, drill some holes in the 2x4 for pieces of dowel to hang the hoses off of and mount it on the wall. You could do two or three high and use a reacher pole. It's not particularly creative, but it beats stacking them on the floor.

Depends on the Hose.

Vac hoses are looped over one of the gas or water pipes suspended from the ceiling. It's a high ceiling so they just hang down 10 feet on either side.

For HP hoses I either have 12-18" Shelf brackets on the wall and hang the coils by type on the brackets.

Another system is to use the 12-18" Wire shelving often used on closets. It has a lip that hangs down. I put stuff on top of the shelf and then hang coils using scrap wire so that the coils are perpendicular to the wall. This puts the coils side by side. (I hope that's clear")
