garden hose reel
I made one from a wheelbarrow tyre rim, which gives good compact unit with
enough depth to hold a fair length of hose. The particular rim I chose could be taken apart by undoing 8 bolts and this assisted in cleaning the unit with caustic soda and detergent. I then painted it whole thing with a good anti-rust primer and then put the unit together again by using stainless-steel bolts and nuts which give a fantastic effect. Of course I had to weld on two small lugs so the whole assembly could be bolted to the wall just above the faucet which is waist height. It has been a brilliant success and it is just the right size. At the factory here we have some reels made from old auto-tyre rims but these would be too big for the average small garden. We also use small rims to store long electric extension cords.
