When people take up gardening they need two things: the right equipment and somewhere to store it. If someone kept their spade or fork outside, the rain would quickly rust it over. It’s the same thing with garden hoses. If they are kept outside they usually end up caked in dirt, crinkled and brittle. They are unsightly when they’re lying in knots, and can cause people to trip or fall as well.

It may be that you are in search of a garden hose reel. This may be because you’ve heard it’s a great way to carry and store the hose. It can be lightweight yet strong, retractable, and lockable. Gardeners want to be happy and they want to find bargains. If they buy a hose reel they’ll want to get the best value for money and have a product that will serve them well. If this is you right now, this article will help you know what to do.

Specialist Sites

If you check out the web pages of a company that sells gardening equipment, it can be a great place to start. Whilst they may only be selling their own products, there might still be a good range to choose from. If you are looking for a metal version there may be ones made from stainless steel. You could study the product specifications to find a floor or wall-mounted version, or one with a 200ft long hose or a half-inch hose capacity.

You may also wish to read the customer reviews and shipping and returns policies before you decide.

Price Comparison Sites

They will be similar to the above but will display different companies’ products side by side. You may be able to refine the search by selecting the length, width, or weight of the hose reel.

The page owner may also provide links to helpful articles and blogs related to gardening.

Amazon.com

This can provide gardeners with a huge selection of products. People can narrow down their searches to specific brands or price ranges. They may be able to choose the delivery date, and if they are a Prime member they may receive it within a couple of days.

Amazon sometimes features articles alongside their products and may display the ‘best overall’ ‘best budget’ or ‘best wall fixed’ garden hose reel. It’s important to be aware that the sponsored products may or may not be your best choice; the companies have merely paid for their products to be displayed.

Look For Discounts

People may not be looking for hose products at the close of summer, so an end-of-season sale might throw up some bargains. It may alternatively be worth waiting for Black Friday or the New Year sales. Some companies offer discounts to people who subscribe to their newsletters or who are first-time customers.

Hopefully, you will find what you need and be able to enjoy the product for many years to come. Whilst garden hose reels are not big in size they can form part of your armory, helping you tend a thriving and beautiful garden.
