FAQ

Wall or freestanding hose reel?

Wall saves space; freestanding suits larger blocks.

Hose length?

Measure tap to farthest bed and add spare — often 20–30 m.

Auto-rewind?

Convenient if the mechanism is solid and hose resists kinks.

Fittings?

Solid connectors leak less.

Sun?

UV-stable hose; store off hot concrete when possible.
