Perfect Solution for Order in Your Garden
All gardening enthusiasts are all too familiar with the challenge of organising (and perpetually searching for) small gardening tools such as gardening gloves, shears, or seeds, not to mention an even greater nuisance: untangling and turning the garden hose. We offer you a simple and elegant DIY project of manufacturing a support bracket to simplify your gardening.
This handy bracket will serve as a perfect storage unit for your small gardening tools, while also taming your garden hose which is, as we all know, extremely difficult to wind. Let’s start with this fun and useful project!
Here are the materials you will need:
- A nice plastic container. Make sure it’s oval, so that it will be easier to wind the hose. We chose a dark brown plastic laundry basket.
- TKK FIX 13 mounting adhesive.
Let’s get to work!
Choose an appropriate location on your garden wall. Make sure it’s easily accessible and handy enough to wind your garden hose and store your tools. Make sure that the surfaces you intend to glue together (the back of the container and the wall) are clean, dust-free and grease-free.
Cut the cartridge at the top, by the thread, attach the tip, and then cut it diagonally according to the required thickness of the application.
Apply the adhesive in lines to the back of the plastic container, where the container will touch the wall. The strong TKK FIX 13 mounting adhesive will ensure that your support bracket for garden tools will safely remain in its place.
Firmly press the container against the wall and hold it for a couple of minutes for the adhesive to harden. For additional safety, especially if your hose is heavy, you can also attach wall anchors (check our TKK FIX EXPERT ANCHOR PE quick anchoring adhesive) in addition to the adhesive.
If you accidentally smudge anything with the adhesive during the application, clean fresh adhesive with aliphatic solvents; once dried, you can remove it mechanically.
Organise your tools
Once your new garden hose support bracket is safely attached, coil the hose around the outside of the container.
Put gardening gloves, smaller tools and other necessities onto the shelf in the container. That way, everything will be close at hand and neatly organised.
Why use TKK FIX 13?
Our TKK FIX 13 mounting adhesive is used to glue decorative elements and all construction materials. The adhesive provides a quick, strong, and durable adhesion. Its excellent adhesive properties ensure that your garden hose support bracket will also remain in place when weighed down by a heavy hose. In addition, the adhesive is also weatherproof, which makes it ideal for outdoor use.
