Can't find 5" fence post sewer hose holder mod

Looks really good, Barney!

I recently made three of them. One for myself and one for each of my sons. Got the fence post and caps at Home Depot. Got the gutters at Loews.

All I did to hold the caps on the ends was drill a hole straight through both sides and inserted a 1/4X6 inch bolt with a wing nut.

Here it is in use right now at our winter location in Florida. You can see how the gutter serves as a support. It is also possible to chain or bungy up the one end instead of using a support.


Here you can see it with the endcap in place. The round holder is used for my older spare hose. The present Rhino hose would not fit into it with the fittings on - thus the need to make the new holders. :)

Good to hear colliehauler, glad we were all able to help.

BTW - The one DH made is is the first thread - a black tube - not only did he use a screw cap and chain attachment but to keep it from moving he used heavy duty self stick velcro and it works great.

Hope this helps.

I ended up doing the 6" pipe with caps and strut with brackets. I will use the 5" fence post on my seasonal unit. Thanks for the info.

Thanks!

Here you go. Around here, we have to buy the posts at the Depot and the symmetrical gutters at Lowe's.

Did you try a search with "fence post" in it? Turned up a few.

Search takes a little bit. I do have some saved that are too old to show up in search anymore. I'll send it to you if you don't find what you want in this search. PM me with your e-mail info if you want it.

They had a close out and were selling them for only $4.99!
