Cast aluminum, anodized. Pretty basic, but its functional for smaller pan fish and trout.

I believe it is steel. Very nice and looks much better than those ugly hose reels.

The mesh is definitely not plastic, it is some sort of fine woven metal, sorry but not able to tell exactly which metal.

The actual reel and reel housing is all heavy duty plastic. But the center of the reel that the handle and (at the other end) where the water hose is attached to is metal. It's a strong pipe like center. I can't say what kind of metal that is. And it's not stated on the package. But a magnet does stick to it, so I doubt that it stainless steel. We've had super good experience with this style of Ames hose reel.

The poles are metal. The connectors are plastic. So far, it's been very durable. I use this many times a year.

Metal. The only plastic is the lid. So far very durable. I use it everyday.

Plastic on the outside, however there is a metal rod running through the inside. Not sure what it all does. It is a very nice and lightweight machine to use.

The black frame of the reel is graphite. This is not a metal, or aluminum, frame reel. Gold portion on exterior is a decorative alloy plate.

The fittings are metal, HOWEVER, the fitting connection that allows the reel to turn wore thru in under 1 year. The metal is such poor quality that it corroded in the first twelve months and a hole appeared (not rusted... corroded). This fitting is not something you can buy from either your local hardware store or plumbing supply house... it is a proprietary part for this unit.

It is plastic but looks like metal. Can't really tell it's plastic by looking at it.

It is plastic but with a chrome finish. I think the hose part might be metal.

the handle is plastic and the hose is metal -- we had another model (Sprite Shower Falls) for many years and loved it -- it was also plastic with a metal hose --
