Gardening Is Easy With Rehau Wall Mounted Automatic Hose Reel

Advantages: Easy, convinient, flexible, good value for money, made by a top quality brand

...trying to get it right. Rehau make "Unlimited Polymer Solutions", and is a top quality brand recognised all over the world. The systems and creations are designed especially for the building, automotive and industry trades. Although this is designed for the industry trades it works wonders for home use as well. It also provides wonderful flexibility, once it is wall-mounted, the reel moves through 180 degrees. This allows you to pull it out from ...

Once Summer time comes again it can be easily replaced on the wall with minimum of fuss. If you are serious about gardening then the time to do it is straight away. Whilst gardening is lot's of fun it isn't easy work and it helps to have a product that ...

Review of Rehau Wall Mounted Automatic Hose Reel

Hose me down

Advantages: long, strong and durable
Disadvantages: no attachments as standard

...found the solution in the Rehau Green Lawn 30 metre hose. Made in the traditional style with with no frills attached the Rehau hose is made from an incredibly durable plastic which has an 18 braid reinforced structure to made it feel solid to the touch without water running through it and this reduces kinks and subsequent reductions in water pressure. The only real issue an entry level gardener may experience with the hose when first buying is ...
...low. I picked up my Rehau Green Lawn hose for only £19.99 in B & Q some 3 years ago and it has never sprung a leak or done anything it isn't suppose to. It still to this day retains its shape and is easy to wind up over the arm into a small bundle ready for use again. Rehau Green Lawn hoses are remarkable so why pay more when this will do the job at a fraction of the price? ...

Review of Rehau Green Lawn Hose 30 Metre 098928

Fantastic value hose reel, seems good quality.

Advantages: Good quality, at a good price.
Disadvantages: None

...cannot complain. I found the Hozelock 25m Compact Hose Reel at Focus DIY for a very competitive £25. As well as a pretty sturdy, plastic, floor standing reel, you also get 25 meters of yellow hose pipe, and all the connectors you need to get the thing plumbed in, plus, an adjustable spray nozzle. The yellow hose is very flexible and pliable, which makes it very easy to use, and less prone to cracking in cold weather. the connectors and adjustable ...
...will stand the test of time. I have an outside tap at the side of my house, so to install, I simply cut approx 1 meter of hose from the reel, one of the supplied connectors is simply attached to one end, which attaches to the tap, the other end attaches to the rear of the reel. The entire hose needs to be removed from the reel as it does not come attached, again, attaching the hose to the reel is a simple job, the softness of the hose making this ...

The Gardeners Friend

Advantages: A hard wearing watering can from Haws.
Disadvantages: None at all.

...matter. I have had my Haws Practican for a few years now, a robust green plastic watering can that meets my everyday gardening needs. Haws produce good quality watering cans and accessories so you expect to pay a little extra. The six litre Practican is made from strong, durable and frost-proof green plastic, although the can holds 6 litres I never fill it to the top, I would far rather just fill it half way and make lighter work for myself. ...
...can is carrying water and Haws have added two inbuilt hangers, one placed towards the front of the can and one sits inside of the handle. This means that you can hang the can at any angle or you can pop the spout and rose onto the hangers for easy storage. The Practican came along with an oval brass face rose and a down spout, these two accessories may be all that you ever need but if you want to add to your watering can then go directly to the ...

Review of Haws Practican Watering Can

  Laughing all the way to the butt

Advantages: good for plants; good for the environment
Disadvantages: expensive outlay; some look rather plain

...too happy to buy a Sankey Water Butt. Richard Sankey and Son Limited, to give them their full name, have been around for over 150 years making gardening products from flower pots to compost bins. Their wares can probably be found in most Garden centres, but when we were looking for a water butt in 2006, we could only find a few suppliers online. Sankey had one of the easiest websites to navigate, and also a fairly good range at the time if I remember ...
...up too much space, having such a small garden, and was relatively cheap. This water butt is the one we chose. It cost £44.92 which included delivery. This might sound expensive, but now that they are more widely stocked, prices have fallen and similar ones can cost from around £30. Included in the price was the water butt and matching green lid, a little black plastic tap for pouring out the water and a diverter kit for linking it to our down pipe. ...
