  I am commenting on this from the future and it would appear that you built a successful project. Speaking as someone from the future, I would recommend exploring hoses that already fit the rustic look, as it appeared to me when I viewed your design at the expo that you had painted or otherwise dirtied your hoses artificially. Perhaps you could run the water through the actual support structure, eliminating the need for forcing the rustic effect on the otherwise new hose.
  How would you more specifically define some of the above constraints (what is a “small horizontal space?”)? How would you redesign your project to make some of these constraints more challenging (supporting the weight when everything is counter-balanced).

  Morgan, this is a nice idea. To obtain the rustic look maybe try using recycled wood from a reclaim store or old pallets that are usually available for free at grocery stores. For draining, maybe channels in the wood that empty into a reservoir.
