It honestly caught me off guard how many people were fixated on the 4x4 post when I posted the video showing how quickly the hose reel installs to a post, wall, etc. The post had zero to do with the post considering you don't have to have a post to mount the hose reel. I like mounting it to the post, but I have seen some creative people mount these to their house, their decks, their kids play sets, fence posts, etc. It also made me realize that people either don't know how to install a 4x4 post in the ground or are intimidated by it. So, I figured I would show how to do that.

The deeper you dig and install the post, the more sturdy it will be. I, however, have never had any issues with going just about 2' down in the ground. Add your quik crete, water it to make a cement mix and leave it to let set (make sure the post is straight up and down with a level of course!). Once its set, you are free to install your hose reel!
