Last but not least in this section of positioning your garden hose reel is how you install / mount your garden hose reel after you have decided where you want / need it.
A garden hose reel should be offering you efficiencies right? - if not then you could use an old car wheel rim.
Tip - make sure you mount the reel at a suitable "ergonomic" height - a height which will not have you bending over or reaching up to operate your garden hose reel. Take some time to measure the installation / mounting position carefully before installing the reel to a wall or post or other fixing.
The ideal position is for the hose as it rewinds onto the reel to be at about your hip height (this assumes in hand crank reels that the crank is centre line with the reel which should be the case - for spring rewind reels this will be a given).
Ok - now what type / style of garden hose reel should you consider - I will address that in future posts
