Hose reel installation is a common request from eastern suburb house holders. We can install virtually any hose reel you can buy! We generally are asked to mount hose reels on brick or rendered brick walls. It is important to take these tips into account:

  1. Mount the hose reel close to your garden tap! This sounds obvious but we have been asked to mount hose reels a huge distance away from the tap. Once it’s been mounted the owner may then realise it wasn’t the best spot for it! hose reel holder image
  2. Get the height right. Remember that you really do not want to be bending over to wind your hose back onto the reel (although many of the more ‘up market’ hose reels are self retracting). Many people still elect to get the simplest (and most reliable?) ‘saddle’ type hose reel holder that you simply loop the hose around. When winding the hose on or off these holders it is comfortable to have them at a height around 1.5 metres above the ground.
