The Retractable Hose Reel Mounting Post is an optional extra mounting solution designed to work with Hoselink's Classic Retractable Hose Reels. The powder-coated metal post can be located anywhere in the garden and is ideal if you want a Retractable Reel but don't have a wall on which to mount the bracket.  Please note that unlike the standard wall bracket, the reel cannot be locked on to the Hose Reel Post with a padlock. There is a hole on top of the post to hold the hose reel pin in place, allowing the reel to swivel 360° and follow you as you move around the garden. This product is suitable for use with all Hoselink Classic Retractable Hose Reel sizes. Installation Advice The post must be secured in the ground to take the weight of the reel, which can be accomplished with concrete (not supplied). The total post length is 31 inches long and we recommend setting it in at least 12 inches of concrete. For a secure hold, dig a hole 18 inches deep and 12 inches wide. Fill with gravel for the first 6 inches before setting the Mounting Post on top and filling with concrete, ensuring a concrete depth of 12 inches up the post. This will require approximately 65lbs of concrete. For the complete installation guide, please watch our video here. What's Included 1x Retractable Hose Reel Mounting Post. Hose Reels are sold separately. Our reels are pre-boxed with a Wall Bracket and the package cannot be altered. You Will Also Need Cement and gravel from your local hardware store. *Reel not included.
