The MTS Metal Garden Hose Holder (MTS8225) is a heavy-duty, wall-mountable steel hanger designed to keep your garden hose organized and off the ground. It is built to withstand South African outdoor conditions, featuring a powder-coated finish that provides excellent resistance against rust, corrosion, and UV damage.

Key Features
- All-Metal Construction: Unlike plastic alternatives, this steel holder won't become brittle or crack under the intense South African sun.
- Anti-Kink Design: The large, rounded arch helps maintain the natural coil of the hose, preventing kinks and structural damage that can lead to leaks.
- Space-Saving: Keeps your garage or garden neat and reduces tripping hazards by keeping the hose high and dry.
- Industrial Aesthetic: Features a rugged, professional look that fits seamlessly in both residential gardens and commercial workshops.
Professional Tips for Installation
- Height: Mount the holder at roughly chest height (approx. 1.2m–1.5m). This makes it easiest to coil the hose without excessive bending.
- Anchor Points: If mounting on a brick wall, use nylon wall plugs (Fischer-style) rather than just standard nails to ensure it can handle the weight of a water-filled hose.
- Proximity: Install the holder within 1.5m of your outdoor tap to minimize the "lead-in" hose length that might otherwise trail on the ground.
