For good hose storage, you want to know: the load capacity, because hoses get very heavy, especially with water in them; the depth of the rolled up hose, so that the hook is wide enough to carry it; the hook’s weather resistance, so you get one that doesn’t rust.
When I originally researched garage ceiling pulleys for this article (several years ago), I couldn’t help but notice that too many of them were flimsy and therefore dangerous. I’ve ditched the idea of a hand-drawn ceiling pulley, as you’ll learn in this article, I don’t trust even the good ones anymore.The best garage ceiling pulley is an automated platform from Garage Gator. It allows you to store 220 lb. on a 6 ft. x 3 ft. platform on the ceiling. The automated platform makes it easy to access ceiling storage while removing the garage stuff from the floor.
The Tourna tennis ball cart carries 180 tennis balls and has a bottom tray for teaching gear and rackets. This is Tourna’s sturdiest cart, with extra heavy-duty casters and wheel brakes.

This sports gear and ball bag easily stores on a garage shelf or hangs from a pegboard or slatwall hook. One of the best portable sports ball storage bags I’ve found is the Fitdom Heavy Duty XL Ball Bag. I wish I could find a gym bag that stands as nicely as this container does. The upright stance and open mouth make it much easier to load and unload gear, compared to those bags that flop over. The firm sides keep the balls from falling out, too.
