The hose reel has 4 front screw holes and 4 back ones. I used 1 1/2" x 3/8" lag screws in pre-drilled holes. I put rubber hose washers on the bottom and fender washers (large washers with small holes) above those and drove the galvanized lag screws down tight. THOSE aren't going to come loose!
After testing the "reeling", I used it to water the newly-planted daffodils. The hose came off the reel beautifully from any angle.
Tomorrow, planting daffodils...

Yaaaaaay! The Taj Mahal of hose reels - and it works.
Now Mark: this is the excuse you've been looking for to buy a smartphone. We need to see a video of this little beauty in action.
Well done.
