Why Choose a Wall-Mount Hose Reel?

When it comes to hose storage, there are several types including hose pots, carts, stands and wall-mount hose reels. Hose storage keeps hoses from laying in the yard, where one might trip or accidentally run the hose over with a lawn mower. Water hose reels are a step up from a simple hose rack, as they’re designed to make it easy to reel a hose in and out for gardening tasks. They also protect hoses from the elements, like sun and ice, potentially prolonging the life of the hose. At Lowe’s, we have top-rated hose reels in many styles to choose from.
