The Hose Reel Backing Board provides the perfect solution for mounting your new Evolve™ Hose Reel onto weatherboard.
To avoid damaging the bracket and to make sure the bracket is mounted securely to hold the weight of the reel, it needs to be installed on a flat surface. Weatherboard has always presented an issue in this regard. Being by its very nature, not flat. Well that issue is now a thing of the past. The Hose Reel Backing will act as the flat surface for the bracket.
The Backing Board itself is first mounted to a framing stud behind the weatherboard, and then the Evolve™ Hose Reel Bracket is mounted directly to the Backing Board. Providing a secure and flat mounting point for your reel.
Contains: 1 x Backing Board 2 x Mounting Screws
Due to the shape of the bracket, the Classic Series of hose reels have their own backing board which functions in the same way. You can find them here.
