Four mounting holes are pre-drilled for 16-inch stud walls, and the bronze powder coating blends with almost any color of siding or brick. The included bass swivel comes backed with a 10-year limited warranty. No hose is included.

The only suggestion I have is they could include an appropriate masonry bit. Getting that required a trip to Lowe's. The reel works very well and certainly vastly surpasses any other reel we have ever had.
