澳洲 Hoselink Colourbond Wall mounting solutions

在澳大利亚生活百科



O.P.

We have two hoselink hoses I'm looking to install to our colourbond steel galvanised post house.

Couple of issues I need to solve:

The profile of the colourbond versus mounting bracket and that the 90mm posts arent much wider than the 65 mm bracket hole centres.

Colourbond is fixed to the Galvanised posts...

Anyone come up with a good options for this install

I'd attach a short length of timber to the post (horizontally with four metal screws) and spray paint it the same colour as the post (spray paints have Colourbond colours or close to it).

Then attach the hose mount to the timber.

It’ll still be ok, as it’s steel, so the screws can still lock into the posts even thought it’s 12mm from the edge.

And the colourbond profile is running horizontally, so if the hose link bracket can span across two ribs so it doesn’t tip, then I’d just attached the bracket straight onto the colourbond and post with tek screws.

Otherwise a piece of timber as suggested by Walter will be the go.

To attach the hoselink bracket to the post I'd make up a steel bracket that clamps onto the post rather than drilling holes into it.

For corrugated colourbond, I'd first attach a steel plate to cover two or three corrugations and screw the hoselink brackets to that.

Thanks for the advice. The shown post (internal ) is for illustration what the Colourbond is attached too..

I've just fitted a 30m hoselink for a friend, there's a fair bit of weight when full with water and if kids are likely to tug on it I'd prefer to put bolts right through the post with nuts on the opposite face if you have access. You'll need a driver or socket extension for the bottom screws or bolts as the access is restricted by the bracket shape.

I'd just mount it to a separate post:

Either the purpose built one for a situation like your second photo where you could concrete it into the ground in line with an existing post where you have the pebbles.Or for your third photo, a post attached to the concrete path using a bolt down post anchor.

If necessary, strap the top of the post back to an existing structure for both options (though I'd probably do that regardless).

Burry the hollow post, about 30-40cm, lock in place with a cement footing.
Drill holes into the hollow post for the bracket at the appropriate height, taking into account the buried height.

At this stage you have 2 options:
1. Mount the hose reel bracket, WITHOUT the hose reel with the masonry anchors and screws already installed. Pour cement into the hollow post making sure to remove as much air bubbles from the post. For extra strength add some reo (rebar / reinforcement)
2. Pour cement into the hollow post, remove as much air bubbles from post as possible, let the cement fully cure (depending on type used). Add reo for extra strength. When fully cured drill into the cement and install the bracket as you would normal.

I went with option 1 when installing my Hoselink hose reel bracket. I poured the base, inserted reo through the hollow post and into the ground for extra support and connection between the post and the footing. I had pre drilled holes into the post for the bracket, installed into the wet cement and let it cure for about a week.

Some will probably say this route will be weaker as the masonry plugs don't expand as the bracket is screwed into them. 5 of the plugs in wet cement with the screws already installed was rock solid, the post and bracket are not ever moving.

Good Luck!

The hose is located on a concrete slab, so the ability to put a new post in isn't practical. The post shown is the same as what the second floor of the house is being supported on; so it wont move. Ie I'm looking to attach hose base to a similar profile post behind the colourbond.

Its more about getting good purchase on it noting the corrugations. Was thinking something like this, but not sure if it is sturdy enough..

That’ll be fine, the corrugations are quite strong. To add some more stiffness, before using that plate, put a screw at the valley/bottom of each corrugation, that help stop the corrugations from spreading/ moving, then install that plate.
