1. Choose hanger, reel or cart

Wall hangers suit neat courtyards. Crank or auto-rewind reels suit longer runs. Carts help if you water front and back yards from different taps.

2. Capacity, hose diameter and fittings

Match reel capacity to your hose length and diameter (often 12 mm / ½ in or ⅝ in). Confirm tap connectors and included spray guns suit Aussie fittings.

3. Mounting and weather protection

Mount into solid substrate, shield from harsh western sun if possible, and prefer powder-coated or stainless hardware near coastal air.

4. Daily use and maintenance

Coil evenly after watering, drain before cold snaps, and lubricate reel mechanisms yearly. Replace cracked brackets before they pull out of the wall.
