POORLY DESIGNED FOR MOUNTING ON BRICK,

While the product is visually pleasing relative to the more utilitarian hose reels on the market, I found it impossible to mount on my brick surface. The reel comes with expansion bolts. My builder suggested I not use expansion bolts as they may crack the brick. And, it was impossible to line up the expansion bolts with the mortar intervals so that the expansion bolts would align with the the mortar intervals using the pre-drilled "T" mount holes.
Then I tried using cement screws for the mounting. While cement screws can be used in either brick or mortar, they could not be used with this application. The use of screws require the device to be fully assembled prior to mounting since the bolts holding the front plate trellis must first be screwed into the front trellis from the rear of the "T" mount. But a fully assembled holder does not leave enough space to operate the drill. An intractable situation. Not well designed.
Others may have better luck. I didn't.
Pros: Appearance
Cons: difficult/impossible to mount

I would like to purchase this hose holder, but how difficult is it to mount to a brick or stone home?
My builder told me expansion bolts that come with the unit may crack my brick. Not sure about stone. Use of cement screws I found to be intractable with the mounting design.

can this hose holder hold 150' of 5/8" hose
curious as to whether or not this hose holder can hold 150' of 5/8" hose even though the stated maximum is 125'.
Probably not. 150' of hose would require some of the hose to extend beyond the outside metal trellis. It might work but would be unsightly.
