@@ReluctantDIYers Understood. I've got two hose reels to mount on two 6"x6" posts and I didn't want to buy way too much Quikrete. According to the bag directions, I would need at least 4 bags per hole, but like you, I am not going to did holes 18 inches in diameter. Thanks again!
I've been watching a lot of video reviews on these, and this seems to be a common problem. Seems they end up not wanting to fulling retract, and when retracting, it's very slow after several months of usage.
@@caseyspringer7442 Oh man… that’s terrible. Thank you for taking the time to share this. Hopefully Giraffe replaced it or refunded you. I’m curious how they handle these situations.
You can definitely attach it directly to your house. It’s a different process depending on whether you’re connecting it to cement, brick, siding or another surface. But you can definitely do so. For us, I wanted to have the hose reel closer to our garden, which meant it had to go on the far side of the deck. I was also planning a fence, which I just finished, and knew I was going to put a gate right there where we could pass the hose straight through to the vegetable garden. I hope this helps! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
