Thanks for the inspiration! Did this today.

[@HomegrownHowTo]

Good work!

[@ryanbeckstead]

Nice! Like it! Might need to snag one.

What size vinyl sleeve did you use? Great video! This convinced me to do a post install instead of drilling in the brick as well.

[@HomegrownHowTo]

@@insiderjay7629 it’s 4x4 sleeve and was 39” long. I have the same one I used linked in the description of the video 👍

Just got this exact reel. I’m optimistic it will last. I’m gonna buy a cover for it to keep the sun from weathering it. My old one dried up and cracked. I’ll bring it in for the winter too. Thanks!

[@HomegrownHowTo]

What cover did you get? I need one, too!

[@oleboy4332]

I didn’t get it yet. I was hoping Amazon had something! I’ll let you know if I do find one

Like it on the post. Dont like drilling on my brick. Just one thing i noticed, didnt look like there was much pressure.

[@CTTH100]

Just curious what driver socket size did you use? Seems like no SAE fits the bolt heads but 10mm does.

[@HomegrownHowTo]

Hey sorry it took me so long to respond. I haven’t been home to check it. But it is a 10 mm or 3/8 socket. 👍

[@CTTH100]

@@HomegrownHowTo No problem. Got it installed just a bit ago. 10mm it was!

Where to buy that 4*4 wooden post?

[@HomegrownHowTo]

I got mine at Home Depot

[@mahesha2765]

@@HomegrownHowTo Thank you! Can you plz share the link to the product on homedepot?

[@HomegrownHowTo]

@@mahesha2765 it was just a 4x4x8 post. Any big box or lumber yard should have them.

[@itshenryg]

Why didn't you attach it to the brick wall instead?

[@HomegrownHowTo]

I just didn’t want to drill into the houses exterior.
