I've come across these hosepipe guides, which look like just what I need in the garden as I regularly have to negotiate the hosepipe around two
90-deg corners (which are tyrolean-finished which generates more friction and makes them all the more potentially damaging to a hose)(ebay item 230339462992)
However, the problem is that these things are intended to be screwed permanently to the brickwork, and where I'd need to site them, they'd be in the way and it's an absolute dead-certainty that they would be rapidly snapped off by a passing mower/child/whatever.
What's needed, therefore, is some form of quick-release, demountable version of this. Considering that my Hozelock wall-mounted hose reel is exactly that - it has a 'lift-out', wedge-shaped, interference-fitting bracket - I'm surprised they don't follow suit with these guides. Anyway, I've been trying to work out a simple way of adapting one of the existing ones myself, but coming up blank. Anyone got any bright ideas?
It would need to be something that's easily demountable by hand, would not leave a markedly protruding fitting on the wall when demounted, and would not involve me in lots of metalwork (other than a drill, hacksaw and file I just don't have the kit!)
Thanks David
