A: per the product page, it holds up to 125 ft. of 5/8-inch hose
Q: Where you attach the garden hose, is it metal or plastic? When you order, do you ship the #710 unit or does it have to be ordered separately, and would it still hold 125ft 5/8 hose?

A: Where you attach the short leader hose it's brass. Where you attach your garden hose, it's metal.Answer above is for the 708 and 710. You would have to order the 708 and 710 separately. They both hold 125' of 5/8" hose.
Q: Once the hose is wound up on the reel, can the reel be detached and stored for the winter intact?

A: This unit isn't easily winterized. You will have to take the whole unit off the wall. We do have a model 710 hose reel that you carry where the spool only can be taken off and the frame left mounted to the wall.
Q: Is this reel rated for coastal settings? Salt air tends to rust things, and I don

A: This product is not tested for coastal use. It is steel, so it can rust. I would recommend either our 703-s2 stainless steel hose reel or our 704 cast aluminum hose reel.
