I happened to buy a 75' 5/8" garden hose the other day, and after uncoiling it found it was too short. I asked the h/w store if they would take it back, but they said only if it's rewrapped in a form that make it salable. Since the packaging is intact, my problem is rewinding it. I measured a wrapped one at the store, and the center is about 6" across, and the stack of coils is 6". I figure if I could find a cylinder 6" in diameter that's maybe 8 to
10" in length I could do it. So far I've not found such a cylinder. Maybe I'm overlooking a simpler solution?- posted
