Portable garden hose reels can extend the reach of your hose, making garden planning a little easierOne of the nice things about portable garden hose reels is that they can make your garden planning a little more flexible. Without portable garden hose reels, you are limited by the reach of your hose and where your water taps are. This can be limiting when doing your garden planning. With portable garden hose reels, it makes it easy to move your hose to different locations. If you have more than one outside tap you can just roll your garden hoses from one to the other. When you're done with the garden hose, you just wind it back up on the reel and put it away. Garden hose reels vary in their pressure & temperature ratings – this can factor into your garden planning too.Depending on the water pressure going through your hose and the typical temperature in your area, you can get garden hose reels with proper ratings. Higher ratings, such as 150 PSI and 120¡F, are well suited for acreages, commercial landscapes, nurseries or other "large lot" settings. If your garden plans are for a smaller garden planning on a more economical model will work fine. You can also get smaller garden hose reels that are not on wheels but just have a carrying handle. These are great if you need to transport it between different locations – home and a cottage for example. If both locations have a garden planning on using a portable reel makes sense. We've got some recommended suppliers of high quality hose reels on our garden accessories page. |
