All About Hose Reels

Take the frustration out of yard work

There's nothing more inconvenient than tangled hoses lying around your yard or workshop. Hose reels keep your yard organized, safe, and tidy.

Keep your workspace safe and organized

Not only do hoses lying around look messy, but they are also a safety hazard. Hoses left scattered around your yard or workplace are more prone to being run over, tripped on, or cut. Using hose reels to manage hoses gets them up off the ground and keeps your environment safe and organized.

Increase the life of your hose

Constantly having to wrestle with untangling your hoses is not only frustrating and time consuming, it is damaging to the hose. Using hose reels increase the functional life of your hose and makes working in your yard much easier. Keeping your hose coiled up on a hose reel will help prevent sun damage to your hose.

Popular types of hose reels

When you begin to shop for a hose reel, you may be overwhelmed with all the choices. To make your search a little easier, here are some popular styles:

Wall mount hose reels.   There are three basic types of wall mount hose reels: wall mount, side wall mount, and swivel wall mount. Wall mount hose reels pull off perpendicular from the wall while side wall mount hose reels pull off parallel. Swivel wall mount hose reels swivel to allow full range of hose use.

Retractable hose reels.   With a simple tug, your hose is automatically reeled back into the drum of retractable hose reels. No mess, no hassle!

Hand crank hose reels.   Perfect for small to medium sized yards, most hand crank hose reels are made from high grade, weather resistant plastic to withstand the effects of the weather.
