Title: Recommended reel for garden hose?
Post by: Wolfman on December 15, 2018, 10:07:57 am

Got about 40 or 50 metres of quality garden hose but it's all in a pile think it would better on a reel.  Any recommendations?  Use it for softwashing, gutters etc

Will it take 50 metres of 'garden hose'?  Garden hose is thicker than microbore

The product guide says it will take 40m of garden hose. See at 3.16 minutes on video.

I already have a claber for 60 metres of microbore.  Would I be better upgrading this to a different reel as well?

Probably not, i think mine has around 50 meters of 1/2inch but wasn't the best garden hose. It was the cheap green stuff so hardly any wall thickness. You mentioned 40-50 So thats why i posted my link.

Spruces is a good alternative and maybe a safer bet.
