A hose reel that mounts on a wooden post instead of a wall, using a bracket kit sized for standard 4x6 lumber. The wall plate must sit vertically, with the reel arm at the top or bottom, so the reel swings out parallel to the post. It suits gardeners with a fence post or yard post and no convenient wall, and it competes with wall-mount and cart reels on placement flexibility rather than portability. Owners rate it highly, and the main cautions are the fixed vertical mounting and the need to pick a comfortable height.

Owners rate this reel very highly, and the feedback centers on solid post mounting and tidy hose storage. Complaints are few and mostly about the fixed vertical plate and getting the height right.
This is an aluminum-alloy garden hose reel that mounts to a wood post. It comes with a wood post kit that has four painted L-shaped brackets. The kit fits posts that are 3-1/2" or 5-1/2" wide.
The reel mounts in the parallel configuration, with the wall plate rotated to a vertical position. The end of the wall plate where the reel arm attaches can be at the top or the bottom. The wall plate cannot be mounted horizontally. The hose attaches through a brass swivel, and a cam-lever brake slides onto the axle.
Assembly is required, and an assembly manual comes with the reel. The reel can be taken off the axle for winter storage without removing the wall plate from the post. To do this, disconnect the hose from the swivel and leave the hose wrapped on the reel. Loosen the silver retaining nut, unthread the swivel from the axle, and slide the brake and reel off the axle.
