FAQs
Do I need to drill holes to install this hose hanger?
No, the hose hanger is designed to loop directly over an outdoor tap. No drilling or permanent fixings are required for its primary use.
What are the dimensions of the hose hanger?
The dimensions are H29 x W12 x D9.5cm.
Is this suitable for all garden hoses?
It is designed for standard garden hoses. Very large or exceptionally thick hoses might be a tight fit or too heavy for the hanger.
What does 'welding marks will be visible' mean?
This indicates that the manufacturing process involves welding, and the marks from this process are a natural and visible characteristic of the finished steel product, adding to its handcrafted appearance.
Can I mount this on a wall instead of a tap?
This specific model is designed to loop over a tap. It does not come with wall fixings and is not intended for wall mounting.
What material is the hose hanger made from?
It is crafted from durable steel.
How should I clean the hose hanger?
Wipe clean with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Troubleshooting
Hose hanger does not fit securely over the tap.
Ensure you are attempting to loop it over a standard tap shape. If the tap is unusually large or small, it may not provide a secure fit. Check for any obstructions on the tap that might be preventing a full fit.
Hose slips off the hanger.
Ensure the hose is coiled neatly and tightly before placing it on the hanger. If the hose is very heavy or the hanger is overloaded, consider a more robust storage solution or a second hanger if feasible.
Rust spots appear on the hanger.
While made of steel, some surface rust can occur with prolonged exposure to moisture. Clean with a soft cloth. For persistent spots, a light application of metal polish designed for outdoor use might help, but follow product instructions carefully.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This hose hanger is designed to simply loop over an existing outdoor tap. Ensure the tap is sturdy enough to support the weight of a coiled hose. No tools or fixings are required for the basic function of hanging the hose, as it utilizes the tap itself as the mounting point.
Compatibility: The hanger is compatible with most standard outdoor taps. The internal dimensions are designed to accommodate typical hose sizes. It is not designed for wall mounting, so compatibility is dependent on the proximity and accessibility of a suitable outdoor tap.
Care: Clean the hose hanger with a damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the steel finish. Due to its steel construction, it is designed for outdoor use but prolonged exposure to harsh weather conditions may affect its appearance over time. Welding marks are a natural part of the manufacturing process and should not be considered a defect.
