I live in Phoenix, is this holder going to stand up to the high heat we have? I have 2 X Hoses and need 2 of these. This would be v ery expensive if they will melt or crack during the summer. Thanks

They are pretty sturdy,but I don't know how they wil hold up in the high heat. I have mine mounted in my garage to hold my extension cords.

What a pretty project. I'm not sure it will stand up with the heat. You can give it a try. What's the worse that can happen?

I was happy to find and buy stainless steel replacement flame/heat diffusers. However, the thin gauge of the metal did not hold up well to the high heat. Mine deformed, but I continued to use them. Didn't see any harm. I think they are on the 2nd year. New grill soon--I'll be more vigilant.

Works just fine. I only have about a foot of the hose exposed but it has been in the elements for about 3 months with no signs of wear. I live in N Texas so get the heat but not really cold.

Hasn't been too cold in PA this Fall/Winter, temps in the high 20s at lowest, I use the Hitch pack while up the Pocono Mountains and transporting goods from the warehouse store, seems to not get too stiff? I have a Kanga Roof Storage, probably 10 years old, The material that is made of is what I was really hoping for... but couldn't find a hitch pack version, I'd spend extra if there was one available. Sorry I can't give you a definite answer on the Amigo, it's not as thick as my Kanga but haven't had any issues yet.

I had the same question. My solution is to keep it in the closet in the house until we are ready to go out. I do the same with any liquid item, batteries, etc., that the AZ heat is likely to destroy.

this answer is similiar to the other answer you have gotten. my hose was a 5/8 inch industrial apex that can withstand up to 180 degrees. i live in tucson, arizona and the summer afternoons can cause any water left in the hose to 150 degrees or hotter.these washers will fit any typical garden hose coupler or any hose bid that is standard for yard or garden use.

I would not count on it not failing in higher heat. Per my review the seams of my hose failed after 19 months in San Jose Ca and I got soaked. I paid over $50 for the Tuff-Guard. I just purchased from Amazon a Briggs & Stratton 8BS50 50' HD rubber Garden Hose for just over $35. I used it for the first time today and it worked great. Seems to be heavier rubber than a rubber hose I purchased at a local store and returned. I would expect hot weather to take a toll on any hose but I would take my chances on the Briggs & Stratton. I will never buy another Tuff-Guard.

yes this product will indeed withstand heat. We had used it on a part on our car (the high pressure hose) and it was fixed right away. To this day, we have no problem with hose. We gave this to our mechanic and he uses it all the time in some of the repairs that he needs to do and even says that it is awesome

have had the unit for 9+ months and have had no problems... use it almost daily.... has a 100ft 5/8" hose.... winds and unwinds with ease... it you are going to stake it in the ground I would recommend you buy 2 extra stakes and do all 4 corners on the base... (bought them at the hardware store).... it really has been a quality item.. just read the answer from Bill and would like to add that because of the distance where this unit was placed from the faucet I did get a longer leader hose from the hardware store so I can't comment on the one that was supplied with the unit.

We live in South Carolina and it can be very hot. Our hose has worked well, absolutely no problems. Be sure to not keep water on when not using the hose. Our winters are relatively mild, low was 8 degrees F last winter. Was outside all the time, no problems. Love this hose!

I live in southern AZ (110 deg. summer temps). Used the cover in KS (summer/winter 2013) with no issues. After moving to AZ, the cover deteriorated quickly over the spring/summer/fall of 2014. I'd estimate the cover will last approx. 1-2 years if used in southern AZ. Most RV covers are made out of similar material, so not sure switching brands would help. IMO, this cover is still a good investment. I'd rather have a deteriorating cover than a deteriorating RV.

Don't know if you received my update. I am located in South Florida.I doubt that it will withstand the heat. I received the lid, as it was missing, either in February or March of 2015. As of right now, the lid is warped, no longer fitting in the left front.

Arizona? I don't know but it handles the Texas sun pretty well! I've only had it fall off twice and I'm using it on a textured surface that no other suction cup stand will stick to to begin with!

This is more pliable than most other hoses I have owned...it really depends upon the temperature in the air when you are trying to roll up the hose. When it's cold <40 degrees it can be a little squirrelly.

I use mine in hanging fittings all the time, with no problems. Though I have mine in open fittings, so heat is not an issue. If you put one in an enclosed fitting you may have problems with overheating.
