High quality product
Makes watering etc so much easier. This is our second hose of this model from Frontgate. We had the first one for 12 years and was still in great shape when we moved house. Ordered another for our new home as we couldn't live without it!! High quality, durable product .....we would highly recommend it.

Very poor design
I didn't realize how low to the ground the hose reel is once mounted. I have to bend over to pull the hose. Terribly awkward. Also, it's nearly impossible to get to the bolt heads to tighten them because the shoulders are in the way. If it wasn't already sunk in concrete I'd return it.

Hose Reel Post Bolt Pattern
Could not get vertical holes on mounting bracket to line up with post holes.
I had to drill out the hose reel mounting bracket holes to 3/8" in order to get all 4 bolts to align

Podercoat issue
After mounting the post, I discovered that the tapped holes had not been protected during the powder-coating process. This made it impossible to secure the hose reel support. I had to buy an m8 tap to clear the threads. The second post wasn't quite as bad as the first, but this problem should have been caught in quality control.

Hose reel post
this is the third one I bought, I like that it is marked how deep it goes into the ground no measuring and is well made.

It's a MUST
The hubby wouldn't let me attach the hose reel to the siding, this option works perfectly!

Poor design yet sturdy
I was slightly surprised to see that the post needs concrete. More importantly, the post is "threaded" for four bolts that attach the hose reel bracket to the post, except the threads are terrible and it's next to impossible to get the bolts started in a way that doesn't rip off threads. I ended up buying longer bolts and hammering them in to get them started then levitating a nut behind the threaded portion to get the bolts to hold. Nonetheless, now that it's done, it seems solid.

sturdy post
the post seems sturdy and durable. The hose reels are still backordered, so haven't been able to really test the complete assembly. High quality though,

I wish to mount new vector hose reel on existing pole from the previous unit. I did not purchase pole again. I believe the hardware (bolts) with hose rell are for fixed wall mounting only. What do I need to mount new unit on exisiting pole?
Thank you for your interest in the Retractable Hose Reel Post. This post does not come with hardware; the hardware that comes with your hose reel should be used to attach it to this post.

how deep to bury this in the ground
I understand the best way to cement the post. What I was wondering how deep should I go with the pole.
Thank you for your interest in the Retractable Hose Reel Post. There is a line on the pole that shows where ground level should be. When properly mounted, the hose reel will rest about 4” above the ground.
