Garden hoses are an indispensable tool for delivering water to keep your garden plants thriving, but they also can be an eyesore when you aren't using them. You may have tried keeping your garden hose tucked away with a DIY storage solution or using cheap plastic reels that break down over time, but these fixes often require more effort than they're worth.

Sam's Club, on the other hand, has a garden hose storage option worth considering that eliminates the plastic products or the DIY work without sacrificing style. The Member's Mark Decorative Metal Hose Storage Pot ($70) is available for online shipping or in-store purchase for those who've spent the money for a Sam's Club membership. Member's Mark is the in-house brand for Sam's Club, similar to Costco's Kirkland Signature brand.

The round pot has a 20 ¼ inch diameter and is 16 ½ inches tall. Depending on the hose diameter, it can store a coiled hose up to 110 feet in length. This appears to be a relatively new product at Sam's Club for the 2026 growing season, as the oldest customer review only dates back to early March 2026. The metal pot has an antique copper finish featuring a hammering technique to deliver the texture that gives it a stylish design while hiding your unsightly, tangled garden hose.

Compared to some similar options, the Member's Mark garden hose storage pot is cheaper. Walmart offers the strikingly similar BirdRock Home Garden Water Hose Pot with Lid for about $145. The pot has identical dimensions to the Sam's Club option, consists of solid steel with a powdered coating, and claims to store hoses up to 200 feet long. Home Depot carries a Gilbert & Bennett Embossed Hose Holder with a bronze-colored finish for almost $100 that can store up to 150 feet of hose. It's a smaller container, though, at 16 ½ inches in diameter and around 13 ¼ inches in height. Costco also carries a Mullally Copper Hose Pot ($80) with an approximate 19 ½-inch diameter and a 17 ⅔-inch height to store up to 100 feet of hose. Costco's product description does not list the metal used in the construction, other than mentioning it has a copper-plated protective finish. Several customer reviews on Costco's website say the metal will rust.

Even though the Member's Mark hose storage pot looks like copper, the material is actually mild steel. The handle on the lid includes mild steel, brass, and aluminum. Mild steel is a type of carbon steel that consists primarily of iron with very little carbon, less than 0.25% by weight. The lack of carbon makes it easy to shape and weld without cracking. It carries a lower cost than other types of metal, but it remains impact resistant. 

Mild steel will rust without a protective coating, though. The Sam's Club product description doesn't specifically describe whether the copper antique finish protects against rust, but surface treatments often slow the rusting process.

If you don't store your garden hose properly after each use, it may become tangled, creating an unsightly pile of material near your home. Not only does the messy hose create a sense of disorganization around your home, the resulting tangles and kinks can affect the performance of the garden hose, as kinks reduce water flow. The wrong type of storage can shorten your hose's lifespan, too. Exposure to UV rays in sunlight can cause the material to become brittle, leading to leaks and decreased performance.

With the Sam's Club garden hose storage pot, you can run the end of the hose that you connect to an outdoor faucet through the hole near the bottom of the pot. You can then carefully coil the material by hand from the bottom of the pot to the top, leaving the end that you connect to a sprinkler or sprayer near the top. Place the lid on the pot to protect the hose from sunlight. When it's time to use the garden hose, remove the lid and pull the end that you'd connect to a sprinkler out of the pot first, allowing it to naturally uncoil as you stretch it out. The hole in the bottom of the pot also serves as a drainage hole, allowing any excess water in the coiled hose to drain away while it's being stored.
