How to mount retractable hose reel to brick wall?

zillah

Hi Experts

I have got GARDENA 30m Roll Up Retractable Hose Reel bought it 10/2023

I have used the wall plugs and screw supplied by manufacturer Gardena to mount 30m Roll Up Retractable Hose Reel on October 2023 today bracket came off the wall (Brick veneer) I guess because of the hollow bricks or plastic plugs can't handle retracting and weight ?

What other fasteners can be used other than the plastic wall plugs ? that suits hollow bricks ?

Thx

Hello @zillah 

Thanks for sharing your question about your hose reel. Due to the hollow nature of your brick wall I suggest using the following anchor set:

• Ramset 300ml Chemset UltraFix Plus 
   
• Ramset Multifit Sieve - 4 Pack 
   
• Ramset M10 x 130mm Galvanised Chemset Stud 

Since the holes for your hose reel mount are already drilled into the brick wall, I suggest testing the sieve pack to make sure it fits into the holes, if not, I suggest drilling them a little bit bigger to make sure that the sieve pack fits into the holes. You can the follow the rest of the install procedures as indicated in the video guide below.
