Looking to repurpose your TRONES cabinet? Transform it into a convenient hose storage cubby by customizing it to fit around your outdoor water spigot. Simply drill or cut a hole in the back of the cabinet to accommodate the spigot. With its wall mounts, the TRONES unit can be easily secured to any wall surface.
For hose storage, modify the TRONES by removing the front closure and cutting away the back hatch with a utility knife to create an open space inside. This setup allows for easy storage of a coiled hose that remains connected to the faucet for quick access. In addition to hoses, TRONES units are ideal for organizing gardening tools, gloves, planters, potting soil, and even rolled-up extension cords, making them a versatile outdoor storage solution for those without a shed or garage. Affordable and practical, you can use multiple units along your home's exterior, fence, or garden wall.
To enhance the appearance of your TRONES unit, paint it to match your home's exterior for a seamless blend that camouflages the hose and faucet. Consider adding a small window box of flowers or a collection of potted plants on top of the unit to further disguise its original purpose.
