1. Cart, portable reel or wall mount
Choose a wheeled cart when you water multiple zones. Portable crank reels suit renters. Wall mounts free floor space beside a single tap.
2. Capacity, hose diameter and fittings
Match drum capacity to hose length and diameter. Confirm Aussie tap connectors and whether a spray gun is included.
3. Frame, wheels and weather
Look for stable frames, locking casters and UV-stable plastics. Coastal yards favour stainless or heavy powder coat.
4. Use and care
Coil evenly after watering, drain before cold snaps, and lubricate reel gears yearly. Store out of harsh western sun when possible.
