Item Specifics

The Liberty Garden Products Garden Hose Reel holds 125 feet of 5/8 inch garden hose.  The hose is not included with the purchase of this garden reel.  The Liberty Garden Products Garden Hose Reel is constructed of non-rust, cast aluminum and feature brass and aluminum plumbing fixtures with a powder coat finish that is also weather resistant.  This garden reel was designed so that you can easily pull your hose out for use, then rewind for storage.  It comes fully assembled.  This garden reel features a shelf ideal for frequently used garden tools and nozzles and 5 feet of leader hose.  The mounting hardware is not included.  

Arrives Almost Fully Assembled - Just Attach Handle

The fact that this garden reel is almost ready to go out of the box, is a big plus for people who don't like to assemble things.  A satisfied customer explains, "It comes right out-of-the-box almost completely assembled.  You just have to at the handle which is super easy to do.  Installation is also easy, And quite self-explanatory."

Mounting Hardware Not Included

For this reel to look and work as it was designed to, you will need to purchase mounting hardware, since it is not included with the purchase.  Once you do mount it though, it should make life and garden upkeep that much easier.  One customer had this to say, "I have installed 3 of these over the past several years. They are wonderful compared to the ones that sit on the ground.  You don't have to worry about them moving around as you try to wind the hose up, provided that you have securely attached it to you house or shed.  There are four mounting holes at the rear corners of the mount."

No More Kinks Nor Tangles

Many people commented how they liked that this reel prevented kinks and tangles.  A customer explains, "This mounted nicely under our upper story deck and has eliminated the headaches associated with untangling and unkinking the hose that I experienced constantly when I draped the hose over a wall-hanger. This is a great value and I feel giddy every time I use it."

Much More Durable Than Plastic

You will pay more for this garden reel than most plastic reels, but in the long run it should be well worth the cost.  A customer shared this about the material that it is made from, "This hose reel is very well made with all-aluminum construction and extra-heavy duty solid brass fittings that is certain to give many years of trouble-free service even fully exposed to the outdoor elements! ~ In the long run you will save money and frustration in having to replace the cheaper plastic versions that deteriorate in the sun & weather after only a few years of service."

The Liberty Garden Products Garden Hose Reel is a durable and attractive Hose Reel.  It comes almost fully assembled.  You will just need to attach the handle which is quick and easy to do. Customers liked that it was made so durable and the fact that it reduces kinks and tangles.  If you are wanting a nice look to your hose reel, I would choose this over a plastic garden hose reel.  It not only looks nice, but should last for many years.
