The Retractable Hose Reel Mounting Post is an optional extra mounting solution designed to work with Hoselink's Classic 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. Please note that unlike the standard wall bracket, the reel cannot be locked on to the Hose Reel Post with a padlock.
There is a hole on top of the post to hold the hose reel pin in place, allowing the reel to swivel 360° and follow you as you move around the garden.
This product is suitable for use with all Hoselink Classic Retractable Hose Reel sizes. *Not suitable for use with the Evolve™ Series Hose Reels. If you require and Evolve™ Series Mounting Post click 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.
Please note: you will need to allow the concrete to set for 24 hours before putting the hose reel in place.
For the complete installation guide, please watch our video here.
What's Included
1x Retractable Hose Reel Mounting Post. Hose Reels are sold separately. Our reels are pre-boxed with a Wall Bracket and the package cannot be altered.
The post does exactly as described and is excellent.
For me, it's to short. So my fix was to attach this post to a treated and painted wood post cemented and buried 800mm+ into the ground (no movement and rock solid) with anywhere between 800mm and 1000mm above ground (based on my need and location). This provided me with no bending, no hose or fitting on ground and better coiling when retracting.

Hi very happy with my purchase as I have been with all my other purchases from Hoselink BUT why haven’t Hoselink made a bracket to match the post so that you can put a padlock on it Thank you. David

Mounting Post for Classic Reel
I did it !!! DIY, Struck Rock digging the Hole & needed small "Pick Axe", used 3 bags of10kg Cement,(easier to lift) added the Water & said a prayer so far it hasn't fallen over!!!!
No way of securing it with a lock same as other Reels but i doubt if anyone will steal it
Thank you for the Video
Just waiting on a cover for the "Evolve" Reel now

The Retractable hose doesn't retrack properly all the way in.
The post is fine but the retractable mechanism doesn't fully retract any more. I would like a replacement at no charge to me.
