Title: WHICH HOSEREEL
Post by: jinky230 on May 24, 2006, 08:54:16 pm

Guys I have a box trailer and have been looking at retractable hoses in b and q and they only do 30 metres
was wondering if anyones does 50 or 100 metres on retractable reels.

what do other guys use like the idea of the hose retracting as I come back round from the back of a house, stops hoses trailing everywhere

any ideas would be appreciated

was going to mount them on the trailer hitch outside the trailer and run hoses inside  under the floor of the trailer to the tank

Get a BACKPACK, you can go 600mtrs before you run out of 1 mtr of hose!!

Mind you I am getting a bit like Squeeky is for his ladder for my Backpack!

thanks macc will have a look at the microbore. we have 2 backpacks and 1 trolley, but find them a hassle going around back doors, thought I would bring in the trailer for these ones and this is why I was thinking of retractable hoses
