“We are building a new house and the outer walls are Hebel and we have found out that you can not mount a hose reel onto it, so after some investigation, I found that these guys sold a post. This is all I can comment as we are yet to do handover.”
“Good quality product as you would expect from Hoselink however no way to lock your hose reel into place so you’re better off installing a wooden pole with a standard wall mount which can be locked.”
Hi Kevin,
Thank you for your valuable feedback on the Retractable Hose Reel Mounting Post. We appreciate your kind words about the quality of the product and understand your concerns regarding the lack of a locking mechanism.
Your suggestion about using a wooden pole for added stability is appreciated, as we always aim to improve our designs based on customer insights. If you have any further suggestions or questions, please feel free to reach out to us at 1300 900 617 or email hello@hoselink.com.au.
Kind regards,
The Hoselink Team
“When the post arrived we couldn’t believe how short it was! At only 800mm long, by the time you set it on a gravel base then fill with concrete in a 350mm deep hole as advised on the website, the post sits only 450mm above the ground. Even with the hose reel sitting on top, you need to bend down to pull the hose out. The post should be 1500mm long and set in at least 500mm concrete. There is a lot
of pressure being put on the post every time you pull the hose out of the reel (especially the Hi-Flow hose which is thicker and heavier). It would also be better if it was a 50mm instead of a 40mm post for added strength.”
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review! There has been rigorous testing on this to make sure the mounting post is correctly sized to ensure it is the most efficient for the use of our Hose Reels. It has been especially designed to take the weight of all our Classic Hose Reels, so I can assure, you will not have any problems given all instructions have been followed on installing your Mounting Post.
I hope this gives you some reassurance.
Do not hesitate to contact us if you would like to discuss further.
Kind Regards,
The Hoselink Team
