Garden Hose Reels - Tips #1 - the old real estate addage, Position, Position, Position

So you are considering buying a hose reel for your garden. Maybe you have walked through a few large DYI or Hardware stores or even checked out a few sites on the internet and are maybe a little bit confused about what type you should purchase?

Let's first look at the that wonderful real estate addage, position, position, position as a starting point.

Where are you going to install / mount your garden hose reel?

What practical length of hose will you need on the hose reel relative to where you install it?

What area of garden or lawn do you want to effectively cover with your hose reel?

Is your current inlet water supply (tap / faucet)limiting you on where you can install / mount your garden hose reel? The chances are the position of your water supply (tap / faucet) outdoors for use with a garden hose was arbitrarily determined by the builder of your home or the previous owner, or if by you then likely from a set of plans - let's face it, the garden / lawn area was either not perdetermined or has changed.

So if the length of hose on a type of hose reel you are considering is not quite going to give you the coverage you need - what is the solution?

I will offer some suggestions on my next post.
