Putting a new microbore hose on my reel.
« on: December 30, 2009, 02:00:56 pm »
I thought I'd go out and put my new hose on the reel - should I put it on like it is coiled or should I "turn it" the other way if you catch my drift. Does it matter in regard to coiling in cold weather?

In this weather i think you will have little choice in getting it on the reel properly unless you put it on like it is coiled.

i always take my new hoses to a big field drag it out to full lenght then wind on to reel , removes all the coil memory.

put it all in a hot bath, this will make it easier to coil the way you want it  ;D

Good tip, that.  ;)

I always end up in a total mess with tangled hose trailing all round my garden ;D

How do you put it on 'coiled'? Surely you would have to dismantle the reel to do that?
