Usage Features
The garden hose holder is designed for straightforward assembly and practical use.
Assembly Process:
The assembly process is broken down into five steps, with clear visual aids and component labeling.
- Step 1: Assemble the Head of the Hose Holder. This involves connecting the two curved top frame sections (A and B) using the load-bearing pipes (C) and M6x20mm screws (1) and a hex nut (6). This forms the primary structure where the hose will be coiled.
- Step 2: Assemble the Vertical Pipe and Middle Load-Bearing Pipe. The vertical pipe (D) is attached to the assembled head using M6x30mm screws (2), M6 cap nuts (3), M6x15mm screws (4), and the Allen wrench (7). This step connects the upper hose-holding section to the main vertical support.
- Step 3: Assemble the Spikes. This step offers two installation methods for the base spikes (G) and base frame section (F):
- Against the Wall Method: This configuration positions the holder closer to a wall, enhancing stability and preventing tipping. It uses the base frame section (F) and ground spikes (G) with M6x40mm screws (5).
- Four-Point Pattern Method: This method strengthens the front and rear fixed points, providing increased stability and load-bearing capacity, suitable for freestanding placement. It also uses the base frame section (F) and ground spikes (G) with M6x40mm screws (5).
- Step 4: Connect Vertical Pipes. The two vertical pipe sections (D and E) are connected using M6x15mm screws (4) to form the full height of the stand, and then attached to the base assembly (F and G).
- Step 5: Final Assembly. This step shows the fully assembled garden hose holder, ready for use.
Ease of Use:
The product is designed for easy installation, with an estimated assembly time of only 10 minutes and requiring 1-2 people. The inclusion of an Allen wrench means no specialized tools are needed for assembly. The two installation methods for the base provide flexibility for different garden layouts and stability requirements. Once assembled, the holder provides a convenient and accessible location to store a garden hose.
