Hose/Hose Reel

[bspot]

Alright beyond, you've been on fire with all of my home and garden questions lately, lets see if you have one more in you.

I had a suncast hose reel and a heavy duty black rubber garden hose. I think the direct sun combined with the weight of the hose did in the hose reel and it broke after 2 years.

The hose which had some massive warranty (but of course I don't keep a receipt for a frigging hose, or even know who makes it) just split yesterday, also after 2 years. I could just repair the hose as the split is near the end, but if anyone has better ideas for an overall system I'm listening.

So, any good hose reel combos? Wall mounted is preferable. My tap is in the middle of the side of my house and there is a poured sidewalk down that side I'd rather not block with the boxes. If they are better because of the sun shelter factor It's not that big of a deal, I have about 15' of yard on that side.

Worth the $200?

Anyone have it local? Home depot is online only and $20 delivery.

Picked up this guy, seems very solid so far. Zero plastic, so hopefully it will last a while longer:

I've been thinking of the same unit, for the same reason. Let us know how it holds up.
