A concealed, architectural fixing designed for modern outdoor spaces.

The Gardenista Spot Hose Holders are installed using a hanger bolt system, creating a clean, minimal look with no visible hardware.

This guide outlines the correct installation method for different wall types to help achieve a secure, long-lasting result.

Understanding the Hanger Bolt

The hanger bolt has two distinct ends:

  • Pointed / wood-thread end: installs into the wall, timber, or wall anchor
  • Flat / machine-thread end: screws directly into the Spot holder

This dual-thread system allows the holder to be securely mounted while maintaining a concealed fixing.

Installation by Wall Type

Masonry & Concrete

  • Mark the mounting position carefully.
  • Use a masonry drill bit to create a hole for a suitable wall anchor.
  • Insert the wall anchor flush with the wall surface.
  • Drive the pointed wood-thread end of the hanger bolt into the anchor until secure.
  • Screw the Spot holder onto the exposed machine-thread end until it sits flush with the wall.

Wood — Timber Studs, Posts & Sleepers

  • Drill a pilot hole slightly smaller than the wood-thread diameter.
  • Screw the hanger bolt into the Spot holder.
  • Twist the Spot holder into the timber until secure and flush.
  • No wall plugs are required. Suitable for solid timber only.

Drywall / Plasterboard

  • Where possible, locate and install into a wall stud. For this method, follow the wood installation instructions above.
  • If installing into hollow drywall, select a high-quality hollow wall anchor rated for the intended load.
  • Install the anchor according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Insert the hanger bolt into the anchor, then attach the Spot holder as described above.

Troubleshooting & Tips

  • Avoid overtightening: excessive force may damage the Spot holder or wall surface.
  • Check wall condition: ensure the mounting surface is solid and not cracked or compromised.
  • Align carefully: install straight to achieve a clean, architectural finish.

Maintenance

  • Periodically check the Spot holder for firmness.
  • If any movement is detected, re-tighten gently.
  • To remove, unscrew the Spot holder counterclockwise and withdraw the hanger bolt with care.

Safety Information

  • Always wear protective eyewear when drilling or working with tools.
  • Be cautious of concealed pipes or electrical wiring when drilling into walls.
  • If unsure about wall construction or load capacity, consult a qualified professional.
