Product description from the manufacturer
When operating a pool in summer, stable hose routing is crucial – this is exactly where the Fox ·Bunny pool hose holder comes in. Two holders in a set promise a simple solution to the annoying problem of hoses slipping or kinking. Suitable for diameters between 26 and 38 millimeters, they fit standard brands such as Intex or Bestway without any problems. The holder can be easily attached to the edge of the pool and ensures a clean, tidy look around the pool. The integrated grooves are particularly practical, as they allow additional fixation with cable ties. This keeps the hose securely in place even under high water pressure.
In everyday use, the holder has proven to be not only functional but also durable. Overall, it is a well-designed accessory for pool owners who value tidiness and protection.
Advantages
- Easy assembly
- Good stability
- Accurate fit for multiple hose diameters

When you first touch the brackets, you notice the robust choice of materials. Made of durable plastic, they appear sturdy and weatherproof. The surface is smooth, but unfortunately has sharp edges – not really a plus point for safety around the pool. The colors are neutral, which blends in well with different pool environments. The integrated grooves for cable ties are precisely machined and fulfill their purpose reliably. After several weeks of use, there are no signs of deformation or material fatigue. The bracket sits firmly without damaging the pool edge or leaving pressure marks. Overall, the workmanship is impressive in terms of functionality and durability.
