Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
After seeing all the good responses on Al's ladder thread, I thought I would draw on the collective knowledge and experience of the good people here on ER.org. I need a hose reel, one that will last more than a year or so. I've had a number of the cheap (quality, not cost) plastic ones over the years, and they seldom make it more than a year without cracking or springing unpatchable leaks or something.
We live on the shore, so there's some additional corrosiveness in the air. I don't necessarily need a hose reel cart, although I wouldn't rule one out if it turns out to be the best option. I don't want to attach it to my house (stone foundation, vinyl siding) although I could build a little frame to attach it to. I'm just looking for something that will last, and allows for easy unrolling and rolling. I've considered one of the big pots that the hose goes into, but DW doesn't want to have to roll it in and out manually. She wants a hand crank system.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We do a lot of gardening and it would be great to have something that lasts a while.
