Make light work of all your watering and cleaning with one of our fabulous garden hose pipes. Available in a wide range of designs, including expandable and extra-long, there's something to suit every garden size and requirement. You'll even find handy additions, such as spray guns, which are great for getting the perfect level of pressure from your hose pipe or pressure sprayers to make light work of distributing weed killer to your garden!
What is a Good Hose Pipe Length?
Water the whole garden with ease with a garden hose pipe. The ideal length of hose pipe is dependent on the size of your garden; it should be long enough to reach all areas of your garden where possible without having to pull on the pipe, as this could make a kink in the hose and affect the power of your stream.
Expandable hose pipes make this even easier, by extending roughly 3 times its length when coiled. If you’re pushed for space, these hose pipes are easy to store and take up less space.
How Do You Connect a Hose Pipe to a Tap?
You can easily connect your hose pipe to your outdoor tap using hose connectors, which affix to the end of your hose pipe and the tap, meaning you can simply click the hose pipe on or off.
You’ll find a large stock of hose pipe accessories including connectors, clips, and even two way adapters so you can use 2 hoses at once! Another garden hose pipe must-have is a spray gun to attach to the end, allowing you to evenly water all your flowerbeds and pots with ease.
Types of Hose Pipe Designs
Anyone’s garden or outdoor space can benefit from a hose pipe, regardless of size. Watering the garden and keeping your beloved plants healthy is a satisfying garden activity, and a proper hose pipe will make the job all the easier.
You’ve got plenty of options when it comes to choosing a hose pipe for your garden.
Classic garden hose
Available in various lengths, it’s worth making sure you get the correct length for your garden – if in doubt, go slightly longer! After use, you can coil up the hose and hang it in the shed or greenhouse to keep things tidy.
Hose carts & trolleys
A hose cart or trolley is very useful for easy transportation, especially if you have a large garden. Simply coil the hose pipe after use and park it wherever you like!
Water hose reels
A hose pipe reel makes watering the garden even easier. Once you’re done giving the plant life a drink, it’s simple to coil the hose into a neat bundle and store it in a garden building or a garden storage box.
Expandable hose pipe
You don’t have to worry about your garden hose pipe taking up too much space with a clever expandable hose pipe. These clever hoses provide you with the reach you need, but retract down neatly for easy, tangle-free storage.
FAQs
What is the difference between a hose and a hosepipe?
A hose is a general term referring to flexible water-carrying tubing, while a hosepipe is the specific hose you use for gardening purposes. They come with all sorts of nifty attachments: think spray nozzles, sprinkler heads, watering guns, and even faucet adapters. With all those options, you're all set for some watering!
Do all garden hoses have the same fittings?
Not all garden hoses have similar fittings. These fittings vary depending on the tasks at hand. Some have male, others female connectors with different diameter ranges. The fittings are also in different shapes: T-type, Y-type, L-type, and flange connectors.
Can I use a jet wash during a hosepipe ban?
Sadly not, as jet washers are connected to main water supplies. But don't worry, there are still options! Instead of using your hosepipe at home, you can think ahead and install a water butt to collect rainwater in case of dry periods.
What material garden hose lasts the longest?
Rubber garden hoses are known for their longevity. Their thicker, super-durable walls can handle all the wear and tear that comes with frequent use, even in the toughest environments.
Is an expandable garden hose any good?
Yes, of course! Expandable garden hoses are much lighter and do not have annoying knots. Our high-quality expandable garden hoses are easy to store and last for years!
Does a longer hose reduce water pressure?
If you're working with a hose that's less than 100 feet long, you won't notice any change in pressure. But once you start hitting the 100-foot mark and beyond, you might start to notice some pressure loss as the water travels through the longer hoses.
How can I make my hose pressure stronger?
To start off, make sure you've got good pressure coming from the main water source. Then, double-check that the connection to the tap spigot is nice and snug, without any pesky leaks. If you spot any leaks or blockages, take the time to repair them to keep everything flowing smoothly.
