Hose reels mounted securely on garage or outside walls. Proper positioning at right height, solid fixings that'll hold the weight when hose is wound on.
### Stop Tripping Over Your Hose
Garden hose lives in a **tangled heap** on the garage floor. Trip over it every time. Gets kinked and damaged. Ends up covered in oil and dust.
Wall-mounted reel = hose is tidy, easy to use, lasts longer. Simple upgrade that makes a difference.
> 💡 **Pro tip:** Position matters - too high and you're wrestling with it, too low and it's awkward. Around chest/shoulder height usually works best.

Good to Know
> 🔧 **Combining jobs:** If you're having other garage work done (shelving, door repairs, whatever), adding a hose reel mount while I'm there takes minutes. Mention it when booking. **Hose reel quality:** Don't buy the cheapest one. Reels under £20 usually have plastic fittings that break, won't retract properly, and frustrate you every time. Spend £30-50 and get something decent that actually works. **Retractable vs manual:** Auto-retract reels are convenient but more expensive and have more to go wrong. Manual wind reels are simple and reliable. Choose based on how often you use it. **Hose length:** Buy a reel rated for your hose length plus a bit. Cramming 50m of hose onto a reel designed for 30m doesn't work - it won't fit or turns into a battle. **Outside mounting:** Hose reels can absolutely go on outside walls - often makes more sense than inside garage. Just use appropriate outdoor fixings. **Multiple hoses:** If you've got pressure washer hose, garden hose, etc., consider separate reels. Trying to manage two hoses on one reel is annoying.
Frequently Asked Questions about Garage hose reel mounting in Exmouth
Where's the best place to mount a hose reel?
Near an outside tap if possible, or close to where you use it most. High enough that you can pull hose off easily but low enough to reach the handle. Usually about chest/shoulder height works best.
Can you mount it on any wall?
Solid brick/block walls are easiest. Plasterboard needs studs finding. Really old crumbly walls might need different fixings. I'll assess when I see it and advise if there's better positioning.
Do I need to buy the reel first?
Yeah, you get the hose reel you want, I'll mount it. If you want advice on what to buy - get one with decent fixings included and a proper winding mechanism. Cheap ones are frustrating to use.
How long does it take to mount?
Usually 30-45 minutes. Drill holes, fit wall plugs, mount bracket, attach reel, check it turns smoothly. Straightforward job unless your wall has complications.
Can you mount it outside or just in the garage?
I can mount hose reels anywhere - garage wall, house wall, shed, wherever makes sense. Outside walls need weatherproof fixings but that's standard. Just tell me where you want it.
