Which screws and wall plugs for mounting hose reel on brick?

I bought this Gardena 20m hose reel and I want to mount it to brick. 

 

However, several of the reviews mention the supplied mounting plugs/screws are rubbish and failed to hold the load.

 

What is the best mounting solution for me and in which size?  One of the reviewers mentioned Dynabolt but I have never used them before.

The supplied plugs are 12mm x 50mm

The supplied screws have a hex head that is 10mm width, while the threaded portion is approx 5mm width

The wall bracket holes are approx 9mm diameter

Hi @DonC,

 

I've checked over those reviews just to ensure there isn't anything going wrong with the supplied fixings. I do see three where they had trouble with the installation. However, the vast majority found installation easy and haven't reported issues with the fittings failing. I would be inclined to go with the fixings provided, and if you have any issues with them, you could always swap them out for Dynabolts. However, if you wanted to go with something else, some 10mm Dynabolts should be suitable, but I'd take the bracket in with you to ensure they suit the drilled holes in the bracket. They are relatively easy to install; you just pre-drill the wall and insert the Dynabolt through the bracket and into the holes. Tightening the nut on top secures them.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Mitchell
