These houses typically have OSB board behind the vinyl siding, so you can screw in anywhere unless this is a real heavy hose reel. To avoid denting the siding, I typically use 1/2 inch spacers installed directly below a ledge in the siding so that I can tighten screw against the spacer and the vinyl directly to the OSB and not crush the surrounding siding.
