Use the Fixed Ground Mount if you don’t have a wall or a post to fix your Hoselink Classic Retractable Hose Reel bracket to. *Not suitable for use with Evolve™ Series Hose Reels
This optional extra can be used on concrete, timber decking and tiled floors for a safe, secure and easy way to hold your retractable reel.
Hoselink’s Classic Retractable Hose Reels require a stable bracket/footing to function properly. Once the Fixed Ground Mount is secured to the ground your Hose Reel will rotate as required.
Please Note: All Classic Retractable Hose Reels are pre-boxed with a Wall Bracket and the package cannot be altered. The Fixed Ground Mount is an optional extra sold separately.
Use the Fixed Ground Mount as a template to mark where to drill
The hardware pack contains 4 x stainless steel screws, 4 x masonry plugs and 4 x washers to secure it to the ground
Tools: Electric hammer or rotary drill with a 12mm masonry bit for brick or masonry OR electric drill with a 5mm timber bit for timber; hammer; socket set (10mm bit)
Brick or Masonry Wall: Drill 4 holes with electric hammer or rotary drill (using marked holes) with 12mm masonry bit, 60mm deep. Hammer in the 4 plugs. Attach the Fixed Ground Mount using the 4 screws & washers. Tip for drilling brick or masonry: Mark and drill two holes. Line up the Fixed Ground Mount on the two drilled holes then mark the next two. Once marked, drill the final two holes. This method helps to get the alignment right.
Timber: Mark and drill 4 holes with a 5mm timber drill bit, 60mm deep. Attach the Fixed Ground Mount using the 4 screws & washers. No plugs required.
Works great, but it is a 3/8" hole not 5/16" in concrete
Instructions need to be modified to avoid install frustration - the anchors don't fit the 5/16" hole. Instead, drill a 3/8" hole and the anchors will seat fine in concrete. Once installed, the base is solid and anchored firmly to the concrete, allowing me to use my Classic reel in a location without a post or wall. Would like to see the ground mount made available in the US for the Evolve reel.

Great alternative to wall mount
The Hoselink device is mountable both on a wall or post, but equally at the ground level if a vertical mounting surface is unavailable.
It’s very simple to install — certainly not any more difficult than the standard wall mount. Four bolts. The hardest thing is drilling the holes (which may not be hard at all, depending). The unit sits perfectly in it and works just as well as the wall version.

Vertically Challenged.
The fixed ground mount for your hose reel is fantastic in that it works well and saves me from having to drill holes in the side of the house - something I hate doing.
One suggestion. It would be nice if the mount had an extension so the hose reel sits a little higher, not much, just a few inches. I’m old, bending over is a pain, plus I’m concerned the upward pressure exerted on the reel when the hose is initially pulled out is eventually going to cause a stress point to give out - hose reels get old too.
