Installing Garden Hose Holder
 

Our TV home is cinder block / stucco. I tried installing a garden hose holder but could only drill into the outer wall about 1/2 inch. How are these outer walls constructed?

Thanks

Did you use a masonry drill? I have no problem drilling into my block/stucco home with one.

Yes, used masonry drill.

I also had no problem. Maybe a new masonary bit would do the job. Also don't forget to use stainless steel screws so you don't have rust running down the wall next year.

I use a masonry bit and a hammer drill. It goes right thru the cinder block. You are welcome to borrow it, just PM me.

I use Tapcons.

Also you can buy one of those retractable hoses as seen on tv. After you let the water out of the hose it retracts and you can hold it in the palm of your hand. No hose holder required. You can buys these hoses at Publix.

These are all I use now. Seems like a good product. I'm waiting to see how well they hold up.

I bought one a few weeks ago. I think it works well for me, no dragging hoses around. My sprinklers water my shrubs and lawn so I just use it to wash my car. It costs about 20 bucks for a 50 ft hose.

Good to read
 

I'm surprised to read about those hoses. I haven't purchased one because they received very bad reviews online. So you do recommend them? It certainly is something I can use since it requires such little space and looks neat instead of being big and bulky and hard to rewind.

I just have 2 hose caddies, one for the front one for the back and roll the hoses up in them. Just me, but I didn't want to drill a hole into my stucco home.
