Decorative Garden Hose Reels

Types

• Traditionally a utilitarian device, garden hose reels have come a long way. Often designed in wrought iron, which takes well to inclement weather, hose reels can hang attached to the side of your house or can stand alone and be portable.

Function

• Hose reels can be manual, whereby you manually wind the hose back onto the holder, or can be automatically retractable, winding the hose back onto the reel for you. Either way, keeping the hose wound up will make it last longer and easier to use.

Styles

• Designs vary on decorative garden hose reels. Many styles reflect garden themes, such as art deco floral motifs and natural leaf patterns. Other designs feature garden animals, such as butterflies, frogs and birds in a variety of poses.
