In most cases, homes have garden hoses used for outdoor chores such as watering flowers, gardens, grass and washing automobiles.  Many of these hoses are coiled on a wheel attached to the house when not being used.  Although, they are good for storing hose, unrolling, and rolling hose on these reels can be a tedious task. A more convenient alternative to stationary hose reels may be a wheeled hose reel cart.   A metal hose reel cart is portable instead of stationary, which makes using it much easier.  There are a few different models available, including one that serves multiple purposes.  It includes an extra big handle and a basket for carrying other items such as garden tools.

When choosing a hose reel cart, one of the most important features is the inside wheel capacity. This will tell users how much hose their particular cart can hold.  This is measured by the hose diameter and its overall length.  Standard garden hoses are 5/8 diameter, which is what most carts are designed to hold.  Hoses are available in lengths from 25 foot to 400 foot, with standard hoses falling in the middle at 200 foot.  A four wheel cart constructed of stainless steel and 400 foot hose capacity is approximately $650.00.

These portable hose reel carts are beneficial because they enable the user to move a hose anywhere it is needed.  The majority of homes have spigots both in the front and backyards and using a portable cart on wheels makes moving heavy hoses much easier.  Gardeners will also find garden wagons to be very handy when transporting items around the yard.  Carts will hold soil, flower pots, and tools for easy moving to the area of the yard where they are to be planted.  A strong wagon made of steel with a 400 pound capacity can be purchased for approximately $200.00 and a great resource for these is cartsonthego.com.
