Shower Hose Storage Net – Mesh Bag for Under-Deck Shower Hose Management

This shower hose storage net (code 03293) is a smart and practical solution for any boater looking to keep their deck shower tidy and functional. The bag is made of durable plastic mesh that allows your hose to “breathe” and drain, preventing water from pooling and mold or mildew from developing. The material (PVC or nylon mesh) is resistant to saltwater and will not fray or degrade easily, even with constant friction from the hose.

Primary function: When installed inside the compartment or void where your shower hose resides, this mesh bag holds the coiled hose in place. Without a bag, a loose hose often tangles around other components – wires, plumbing, pumps – or gets kinked on sharp edges. This can lead to difficulty pulling out the shower head (as the hose snags) and even damage the hose itself (bends and cracks over time). With the mesh bag, the hose retracts smoothly into its space, protected from surrounding equipment. When you need to use the shower, it pulls out freely without catching on anything.

Installation & Compatibility: Installing the bag is very simple – typically by securing it to the inside wall of the shower box or interior hull, near the hose’s entry point. It can be attached with screws, rivets, or even strong adhesive strips/ties, depending on your boat’s construction. The size is suitable for most standard hoses up to about 2–2.5 meters in length (common for deck showers and ~20L solar shower bags). The mesh design is flexible – the bag can stretch or compress to accommodate the coiled length of hose inside.

Benefits of Using the Net Bag:

• Smooth Shower Operation: You’ll find that pulling out and retracting the shower head becomes much smoother. You won’t have to reach into a tight space to untangle a knotted hose – everything stays organized, making showers on board more convenient.
• Equipment Protection: The hose will no longer wrap itself around moving parts like pumps or steering linkages. This prevents potential damage both to the hose and to any equipment that a tangled hose might snag or strain.
• Extended Hose Life: By avoiding sharp bends and abrasion, the bag reduces wear on the hose. Rubber/plastic hoses tend to crack over time, especially if they remain kinked under stress – proper storage significantly minimizes this risk, meaning you won’t have to replace the hose as often.
• Improved Hygiene: The ventilated mesh doesn’t trap water; the hose can dry quickly after use. This reduces the chance of slimy algae or mildew growing inside the compartment. A dry, clean storage space means fewer musty odors and a more pleasant environment on board.

With this mesh shower hose bag, you’ll keep your boat more organized and your equipment running smoothly. It’s a small accessory that makes a big difference in the day-to-day use of your onboard shower, ensuring that a relaxing rinse after a swim doesn’t turn into a struggle with a tangled hose.
