since your wash station is always gonna be against that fence, maybe look into sealing it against the detergents and grime it'll now be receiving.

If I'm not mistaken, it looks like the gutter system had a filter at the end before it gets collected. Wasn't said in the video, but it does look like it to me. As well as the filter in the hose for the pressure washer.

Your neighbor must really like you. I think you need to lower to bike mount and put the brush holder on the other side of the post. That way you're not spraying water into you neighbors yard and they don't have to look at the the brushes you have hanging up. Also I'd check to see if the water from washing is draining into their backyard...i mean garden. Looks great though. You did a great job building the shed and wash stations.

That's a nice installation Blake! I think you should add 2 things, one little fence just at the end of your gutter to filter the water before it drop in the tubes and in the tank. The other thing will be a sort of cap at the top of the stand, because the wood don't like that the water when it drop in the fiber way. So you will protect it from moisture 👍🏻

I think your brushes and liquids should be on one rack where you lift the whole rack from storage and hang in on the post. An eye bolt in the post and in the shed that the top of the rack hooks in to, then an angled support that just rests below that. So tilt up to insert the hook, and gravity will hold it in place.

I’d suggest using the wooden post as a better support mechanism, for your bottles and brushes. By running the bar through the post, you create a much stronger extension, which your end plate could be screwed in on the opposite side. I’m in the process of building my own wash station and it never occurred to me to look at the cordless Worx washer and water tank, due to my remote waterless location. My gears are turning…. 😂
