Giraffe Tools Retractable Garden Hose Reel - 115ft 5/8" Wall Mount Auto Rewind

The Giraffe Tools Retractable Garden Hose Reel (Model AW50) is a wall- or post-mounted auto-rewind hose management system with 115ft of 5/8in hybrid hose — featuring adaptive layering auto-retraction, 180° swivel bracket, precise length-locking, 9-pattern nozzle, and UV-proof housing rated to 116 PSI working / 600 PSI burst. Color: Dark Grey. Net weight: 37 lbs (16.8 kg).

115 Feet. 5/8in Diameter. Higher Flow Rate for Pressure Washing, Vehicle Rinsing, and Large-Area Coverage.

The 5/8in diameter delivers higher water volume per minute than a 1/2in hose at the same pressure — the right choice when you need faster coverage of large areas, rinsing vehicles, or feeding a pressure nozzle at full flow. At 115ft, it reaches a two-car garage bay, long driveway, and side yard from a single mount point. The adaptive layering system winds the hose evenly on every retraction — no tangles, no resistance on the next pull. A controlled slow-retract cycle prevents snapback. The locking mechanism holds at any extension length. The 180° swivel bracket covers the full arc of a garage bay or yard without repositioning the reel. UV-proof housing resists fading and cracking through full outdoor exposure.

5/8in vs. 1/2in — Choosing the Right Diameter

• 5/8in (this model): Higher water volume per minute at the same inlet pressure — choose for pressure washing, vehicle rinsing, filling large containers, or faster coverage of large lawn areas. Heavier per foot than 1/2in — factor into length selection if mobility is a consideration.
• 1/2in alternatives: Lighter hose, easier to handle — choose for general garden watering, plant care, and everyday use. See the AW50 155ft (1/2in) for maximum reach, or the multi-variant reel for the full length and diameter range.

Placement, Mounting & Use Case Considerations

• Mount Height: Install at a height that allows the hose to retract fully without dragging — typically 5–6ft from the floor for a 37 lb unit
• Wall Substrate: Ensure lag bolts anchor into studs or masonry — a 37 lb loaded unit requires solid pull-out resistance; use the included ribbed anchors (Ø12mm × 50mm) for masonry installations
• Post Mounting: Post must be minimum 4" × 6" for stability under the 37 lb unit weight plus hose tension
• Swivel Coverage: The 180° swivel covers a full wall-to-wall arc — position the mount at the midpoint of the area you need to cover for maximum reach in both directions
• 5/8in at Full Extension: 5/8in hose is heavier per foot than 1/2in — at 115ft fully extended, expect meaningful pull-back resistance; the auto-retract handles the return but factor hose weight into length selection if you have mobility considerations
• Garage vs. Outdoor Use: UV-proof housing is rated for full outdoor exposure — no cover or shelter required; suitable for garage exterior walls, fence lines, and exposed garden walls
• Winterization: Drain the hose fully before freezing temperatures — retract completely and disconnect the inlet to prevent water from sitting in the reel housing
