| 17 of 18 people found the following review helpful  Some tips for a more secure installation., By Gary Keene "Eclectic Reader" (Carlsbad, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Suncast CPLSTA125B 125-Foot Sidetracker Garden Hose Reel With Guide (Lawn & Patio) I installed and successfully used one of these for several years at a prior house. I moved recently and have just installed four of these at the new house. This hose reel is, undeniably, a bit flimsy, but there are some steps you can take to make it less likely to fall apart.1) The wall mounting hardware supplied with the reel is for wood. It says so in the installation manual, which advises you "consult your local hardware store for alternate mounting supplies." If you are mounting it in stucco, as I did, you must visit your local hardware store and get four expanding inserts that are suitable for stucco. Those will be a lot bigger than the supplied mounting hardware, and you may end up drilling larger holes in the plastic reel to accommodate the larger mounting hardware. Use fender washers under the head of the bolts or screws to distribute the stress over a wide area of plastic. If you choose to ignore this advice and use the wood mounting hardware in stucco, be...

Easy setup, comes with everything you need to put the reel together, and easy to follow instructions. Once it is mounted, works great. Looks good, reels the hose in quickly, and doesn't have any leaks. Not the highest quality material, but for $20, it is definitely worth the purchase. 5 of 5 people found the following review helpful  Does the job but flimsy and hard to operate, By Uncle Matt (Raleigh, NC, USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Suncast CPLSTA125B 125-Foot Sidetracker Garden Hose Reel With Guide (Lawn & Patio) It is what it says it is and nothing more. It's all plastic, and although it has not leaked since I installed it a few days ago, all parts are so flexible that I don't expect it to hold tight for long. The base that attaches to the wall is sturdy enough but the main wheel part is too thin and flexes a lot under the weight and pressure of a normal hose. The back wheel rubs the base as you wind/unwind. The parts you attach the main and leader hoses to is thin plastic as well and I felt that if I used a wrench to tighten my connections I would break. Detaching the main wheel from the base for installation (and eventually for winter storage) is difficult and required either great finger strength or a screwdriver to pry the plastic cap off. And if you want to get a wrench on the leader hose attachment which is concealed inside the hub, you must first pop that part off of the base which is really difficult even with two screwdrivers. The only pleasant surprise: There is a roller... Read more |
