The Hose Reel Mounting Post | Evolve Series is an optional extra mounting solution designed to work with the Evolve Retractable Reel.
The powder-coated metal post can be located anywhere in the garden and is ideal if you want a Retractable Reel but don't have a wall on which to mount the bracket. Unlike the classic post, the Evolve Series Mounting Post now boasts the ability to secure the Evolve Hose Reel to the post with an Evolve Series Padlock!
The top of the post is a copy of the wall bracket, allowing to slot the reel on with ease and allows the reel to swivel 360° and follow you as you move around the garden.
This product is suitable for use with all Hoselink Evolve Retractable Hose Reel sizes.
*This product is not suitable for use with Hoselink Classic Retractable Hose Reels. You can find the Classic Mounting Post here.
Installation Advice
The post must be secured in the ground to take the weight of the reel, which can be accomplished with concrete (not supplied). The total post length is 800mm long and we recommend setting it in 250mm of concrete.
We recommend digging a hole 350mm deep and 250mm wide. Fill with gravel for the first 100mm before setting the Mounting Post on top and filling with concrete, ensuring a concrete depth of 250mm up the post.
This will require approximately 30kg of concrete.

Customers say this mounting post is easy to install with clear instructions and provides a strong, sturdy solution for positioning hose reels anywhere in the garden. Many appreciate its solid construction and neat appearance, noting it works well when wall mounting isn't possible. Users find it particularly useful for front yard installations and praise its compact, unobtrusive design. Several mention it holds hose reels securely without damaging house structures. Some customers wish it were longer, suggesting an additional 300-400mm would be helpful. Most find it a practical alternative to wall mounting.
We wanted the reel mounted in a garden area to maximise hose reach and reel rotation. This post is ideal for that. I didn't follow the manufacturer's mounting instructions. Instead I dug a 600 mm deep hole and concreted a 35 x 35 x 2 tube into this hole to extend above it by around 300mm. The hoselink post now slides precisely over this extension.

Hose reel mounting post
I had been looking for a post to mount a older version of the hose reel, and couldn't find anything suitable that was "ready to go".
I found this, and also noticed the newer version of the hose reel that fitted it. So I ended up buying both (on different days).
