thick electric cable (outside) - how to hide/cover it space-savingly?

Hello,

since many of you recently gave really good tips regarding my dishwasher door, I would like to get your advice on an issue that has been bothering me for a while. We had an underground electrical cable laid outside, under the carport, the end of which is now placed on the paved area. It is basically an electrical reserve cable for later; currently, we have no use for it.

My problem is that this cable lies next to our clinker brick house wall as well as our car. However, there is only about a maximum of 1 meter of space between the car and the house wall. The cable therefore significantly obstructs the passage, also to the storage room at the back (wooden door in the photo).

Because the cable is relatively "rigid" or "not much more flexible than it already is in its coiled state," you cannot simply place it to the right side of the house wall. The cable always "falls" back toward the car or does not remain in its maximally coiled shape.

Do you have any idea how to store/attach the cable as space-savingly as possible? I would rather not drill for a holder.

You've already ruled everything out, what else is left? Take up the paving stones and lay them in the ground. Cut them off. Still hang it on the wall (the most obvious solution). Unroll it and lay it along the house wall on the ground. Or actually put the cable to use now, for example, install a wallbox or at least just a CEE socket on the wall. By the way, generally a stupid position right under the window. For a wallbox, it's too low.

Lead up the wall and hang under the ceiling. Then it is out of sight.

If the cable is that stiff, then you should be able to bend it so that it stays against the wall, right?

Lead cable into a (sub-)distribution/junction box at any location on the wall, cut to length accordingly, and put Wago connectors on. Personally, I would lay the cable in a conduit up to that point. Then, as soon as the need is clear, you can build from there accordingly.

lay into a piece of "flexible hose" and run it up to the back under the carport roof. Attach it there. Whether I would of course still "hide" such a length there....? I have also parked my "spare" cable in a conduit pipe and "stored" it under the carport roof at the top. But only a few centimeters left, no more "meter goods". ;)
