Garden Hose Reel
 

I just purchased the largest reel that Home Depot had, it will
accommodate 225' of 5/8" hose.

If there is a math wizard on board, can you tell me please, will it hold
150' of 3/4" hose? :-\

Many thanks for taking the time to respond!

Yes it will.

It PROBABLY will, but the deciding factor will be the outside diameter
of the hose. Whilst a 3/4in hose only seems to be marginally larger
than a 5/8in hose, the outside diameter is the important factor.
Depending on the wall thickness, the 5/8in hose could have a exterior
diameter of 7/8in, whilst the 3/4in hose could easily be well over 1in
across - especially if a higher quality - as larger hoses tend to be!
