Outdoor hose reel

I was to attach a hose reel to the side of my house. The outside walls are 3/4 inch tongue and groove covered by some thin sheet insulation and vinyl siding. Assuming that it must r attached to studs, how does one locate a stud from the outside? Are stud detectors sensitive enough to find a stud through all that? Or do you think the tongue and groove would be strong enough to hold the reel? Thanks!!’n submitted by /u/Babylon53 [link] [comments]
