Whether your garden is small or large, a hose and reel is always a convenient addition. It\u2019ll save you a lot of to-ing and fro-ing with a watering can<\/a> and it\u2019ll get the job done quickly. If you\u2019re considering a new hose pipe, it\u2019s worth making sure you get one with a sturdy reel to keep it safe and tidy \u2013 or buy a holder separately.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We\u2019ve assembled a range of practical and stylish garden hose reels \u2013 with and without hose pipes. Below, you\u2019ll find wall-mounted storage solutions,<\/a> decorative hooks and even options on wheels to help you choose the best garden hose reel for your garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

How to choose a garden hose reel<\/h2>\n

There are a few factors to consider when buying a garden hose reel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First of all, you\u2019ll need to decide whether you want to get a hose pipe and reel set or buy the two separately. A wall-mounted combined pack can offer practicality and affordability, while separates are often more aesthetically pleasing and include more durable, sustainable materials.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

You may want to consider a wind-up storage wheel or even a portable trolley-style reel, which you can move around the garden.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Next, think about the length of the hose and how far it\u2019ll need to stretch to reach all the plants in your garden. An expandable hose could come in handy if you\u2019ve got a lot of ground to cover and limited storage space. They\u2019re compact and lightweight, and grow by up to three times their \u2018shrunken\u2019 size when you turn on the tap.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How high should a garden hose reel be?<\/h2>\n

There\u2019s no golden rule when it comes to fixing your garden hose reel, so you should go with whatever is comfortable for you and practical for your outdoor space. As a rough guide, you could leave around 120cm between the ground and the bottom of the reel so you\u2019re not stretching up or bending over to access the hose pipe.<\/span><\/p>\n
