Nope, I bring it indoors for the winter, and put it in the exact same place on the exact same shelf every time. At some point during the summer the nozzle was removed in order to install a soaker hose, which I was warned “is extremely delicate”. It was subsequently left in place over the winter.
They might have done you a favour in some ways, my hose nozzle is fucked after leaving it attached to the hose with water in over winter.
