    They are black plastic ends but they are attached to home made wooden block things that are filled with concrete. We didn't make it, the previous people must have. I guess to make the whole thing sit taller. As far as the reel, well it's just a metal tube. Since it's the only one we've ever had, I don't know what to compare it to so you know what type it is.
    Why BBB? Because money can't buy happiness, but saving it sure can!

    I leave mine up on the posts, so it's 5 feet off the ground.
    The first year I had this setup, the posts were rather wobbly, this, with the high winds we get did not seem to good an idea so I flipped the posts to lie down - everything laid on the ground behind the pool - however, a mouse got in and ate a hole into it (luckily just a small hole), but this taught me NOT to leave it on the ground - those scoundrels will eat everything! - I made the posts permanent and now have no fear of the wind knocking anything over.
