mother of all hose wheels - part 2

While I have this Gardena retracting hose wheel a long time I finally have the right faucet parts to complete the installing and commissioning it. The result looks deceptively simple but a lot of thoughts had gone into its precise location and installation height.
 

mounted but still waiting for the 1/4 turn faucet; I place it as close to the steel column as possible to conserve wall and floor space

filling a bucket with ease is one of the two design requirements from the outset

I fussed a lot making it most ergonomic to use, with respect to the layout of the barn and the bays, and the use cases

this is the stowed position

when it comes to garden hose products the only brand that I buy is Gerdena; their products seldom suck

the garden hose bib faucet is placed at perfect height to fill a 5 gallons bucket

The 100-foot retractable hose can reach the farthest corner of the barn and more. The best way to remove the silt and dirt from the floor is a good washing with generous amount of water, then suck clean with a shop vacuum.
