Universal Free-standing Garden Hose Reel With Tracking [oLYqCRmH]

Is the hose reel easily tipped over?

No, our free-standing hose reel will not easily tip over. It has a wide base with rubber feet to help keep it stable and weighs 23 lbs. For added stability, the hose reel can be staked to the ground or anchored to a solid surface.

Can this reel be anchored to a solid surface?

Yes, the rubber feet on the base of the 1042 Free Standing Garden Hose Reel have 1/4-inch open rivet holes that can be utilized for anchoring the reel to a solid surface.  You will want to select the proper hardware for your mounting application from your local hardware store.

Does this reel tip-over or slide on mulch, rock, gravel?

The ELEY Universal Free-standing Garden Hose Reel With Tracking [oLYqCRmH] may slide or move if sitting on a loose impediment as the rubber feet need to contact a solid surface in order to hold it in place.  If you wish to anchor the reel to the ground you can use up to a ¼” landscape spike through the open rivet holes in the feet.  Or, you might consider putting the reel a solid surface like a paver at least 20” wide.

Can I mount it to a trailer?

No, the ELEY garden hose reels are not intended for over-the-road applications. The warranty of the product does not apply when products are used in excess of their rated capacities and design functions or under abnormal conditions.

Is assembly required?

Yes, however, don't let that scare you away.  Quick and easy assembly was one of our R&D team's primary objectives when designing the durable ELEY hose reels.  We provide an excellent assembly manual with the hose reel as well as a full step-by-step video demonstration of the assembly on this website.  Please visit our Assembly Instructions - Free-Standing Hose Reel page if you'd like to preview the manual and video.
