Giraffe Tools AW40 Garden Hose Reel Cover UV Resistant, Waterproof and Anti-Fading Cover for Water Hose Reel

An excellent product, very functional, good water pressure, and you don't have to coil it up; it coils itself automatically.

The Giraffe Retractable Garden Hose Reel with 5/8” hose works well and retracts smoothly. I chose not to use the included mounting hardware, preferring higher-quality Tapcons, but it’s nice that hardware is provided if you need it. It might be even better if a concrete drill bit were included, since most people probably don’t have one on hand. The 114’ hose length is an upgrade from my previous 100’ reel. Because you can’t fully extend the hose, the extra 14’ is a real benefit. Retraction is smooth, though a little quick—you’ll want to guide it back to avoid snapping. The included sprayer nozzle isn’t top-of-the-line, but it works fine and doesn’t leak. Time will tell how durable it is, but so far no issues. Overall, this is a solid and reliable hose reel, with a few thoughtful touches that make it a good buy.

This is the best hose reel cover I’ve ever used! The fit is amazing—snug but easy to put on and take off. Living in Colorado, I know how quickly the sun, wind, and snow can cause outdoor items to fade and look worn. This cover has been on my hose reel for a full year, and it has done an excellent job protecting it from the elements. While there’s a little fading on the cover itself, it’s still in great condition and continues to keep my hose reel looking almost new. The material is UV-resistant, waterproof, and holds up beautifully through all seasons. I love that I don’t have to worry about my hose reel being exposed to harsh weather anymore, and will stand the test of time.

5/8 Hose reel - Well constructed, well packed

I wasn’t sure if this cover would fit my hose reel tho I had checked the size and it didn’t match the sizing but it does show in description it fits a Gutagge hose reel 130ft so I gave it a try. It fit perfectly. It’s not tight and not too loose. Looks just made for it. It’s a really thin material but doesn’t matter cause I just want to cover it from the sun and I’m sure it at least somewhat blocks it. The package it came in looked like it was used but didn’t look like it when I took the item out. I didn’t want to get a third party that fits universally because didn’t like a loose too big look. The hole on the cover for the attachment for the reel to the hose was perfectly aligned. Didn’t have any struggle with any adjusting. The backside has mesh type look which is awesome for ventilation. It’s not wrapped by a zipper. It’s wrapped by three velcro tabs. I know the color will fade when summer starts but it’s fine cause I really just want something to cover and lost importantly, the fitting. Again, this is for my Giraffe 130ft hose reel, just in case someone’s was like me a little confused which model is for.
