I mounted my hose reel off the side of the trailer. You can see the 4x4’s and where it’s bolted. I used 1/2" all thread, ran it through the wood and the bottom of the trailer so everything is compressed. The front bolts are mounted as would be expected through the railing. It’s as sturdy as can be, zero flex. I loved it until I saw @Racer’s mounted from the top rail I have one too) so at some point I’ll move them all up there but if you don’t have that available this is a way to do it.
The mounting looks good…but you are cheating with that electric reel.

At my day job I had to make 2 student workers quit working one day. They were both from Africa and were pressure washing the batting cage with a 0 tip barefoot… this is my life folks…

There’s more than 1 way to skin a cat and this is just as good as anything. Why’d you change the title though? Hose reel mounting without welding is a good title for folks that don’t want to or can’t weld (former non welder here) one of my racks is angle iron I bolted together with holes drilled on a drill press. Lol)

Yeah, well I’m cheating with the other two mounted behind it too. If it makes you feel better my stain trailer has two manual reels with 300 ft on each but it’s only 3/8ths hose.

I’m disappointed you didn’t stain them. I know you have it stockpiled.
That seems alittle over engineered wouldnt 2x2 or 2x4 work its cheaper lighter and smaller… Im over engineering this now shit
Fresh pressure treated wood. Takes 4 plus months for it to dry out enough to accept stain properly. I’ll get done when it’s dry enough. Heck, I have enough stain to stain the trailers of everyone in the forum. Lol

That is the title?
Yeah I hear you on fresh PT Pine no likey the stain. Leatherwood on a trailer deck would be tits but I usually just mop them with used engine oil.
