Dual Swiveling Pole Mounted Garden Hose Reels

Step 3 Placement of the Mounting Pole

In my case the perfect place to put the mounting pole for the hose reels was at an outside corner of the house where I had enough eve overhang and cement in vertical alignment to achieve what I wanted. Mounting the pole at the corner will give you maximum swivel and utility of this setup. If you don't have the same setup that I have use you noggin to achieve the same result a different way using different mounting techniques. 

Remember that, in this case, I'm mounting new reels on a previously installed pole so I don't have the luxury of pictures from what I did over 10 years ago. You can see what I did in the past from the pictures and I'll try to relate the rest while trying to resist all the pole puns flooding my brain. 

Like Aretha Franklin said "You'd better THINK!" Where are the faucets that you will hook up to the hose reels? Look at the pictures and envision how far you want the hose reels to swivel in each direction and consider that you have a fixed hose screwed into the left side of each hose reel and a hose wind up handle projecting from the right side too. My pole is centered 7" out from the corner of my house (brick). It works for me but if you want 360 degree swivel you are going to have to go out a lot more (which is OK!).

Once you have the location decided RECHECK that you will get the degrees of freedom you want from the swiveling hose reels.
