I couldn't view the pics, but this sounds similar to the situation we recently faced. We have double wide speedlays with 200 feet of 1"3/4.It use to be all flat lay but deployment was a bitch.If not deployed properly it would snag and get hung up....

Every hose on every one of our companies is flat loaded(speedlays, supply lines, trashlines, etc..). We do it this way for ease of operation and consistency. Some Engine Bosses like the loops(dog ears) every 50 ft so their guys can slide their arm...

Cheap fixes are the best kind. How the lay looks isn't really important - what's important is how the load deploys.
