Wall-mounted hosepipe
I currently have a fairly decent hosepipe that is stored away in a shed. It's a bit of a hassle setting it up, watering the front and rear gardens and then emptying of water and coiling it back up and storing it away again.
My outside tap is equidistant from the from and rear gardens so I was thinking about getting a wall-mounted hose reel that would stay connected to my outside tap and I could just uncoil it easily for the front and rear gardens.
I think I have two options: get a proper hose reel that can be wall mounted or but a simple bracket that is screwed to the wall and then get a length of hosepipe and coil it onto the bracket - the hosepipe will essentially be loose in this scenario.
I'm really looking for pros and cons of either wall-mounted solution from anyone who has a wall-mounted hosepipe.

I switched from a wall mounted fixed reel to a hozelock manual wind on reel and it's a lot easier to unreel and rewind.
Think I've had it for about 5 years and provided you remember to drain it in winter, I've never had any problems with it."We could say the government spends like drunken sailors, but that would be unfair to drunken sailors, because the sailors are spending their own money."
