Layflat Hoses Hose Pipes

Our handy selection of hose pipes

A garden and outdoor essential, a hose pipe is responsible for the lifespan of your flowers and plants, keeping them hydrated and healthy the easy way. Whether you’re a keen gardener or just getting started, we’ve got a wide choice for you to choose from, including retractable hose pipes and wall-mounted hose pipes that are ideal for lawn care.

Expandable hose pipes

An expandable hose pipe is convenient and easy to store away neatly in your garden shed. They can be highly flexible which makes them easy to manoeuvre around pesky obstacles and means that you can reach your shrubs and trees much easier.

Retractable hose pipes

Similarly, we have retractable hose pipes which can save you a lot of time and hassle! Simply press a button to activate the rewind function which will tidy up your hose in a matter of seconds! You can spend your time doing things that matter most, such as looking after wildlife or trimming your hedges.

Wall mounted hose pipes

For ultimate convenience, we recommend a wall-mounted hose pipe. Instead of dragging your hose pipe out of your garden storage for each use, save time and hassle by attaching it to your wall. If you have a particularly small garden, a wall-mounted hose pipe is the perfect choice as it is compact and easy to store. This means that you’ve got a bit more space to store your garden tools and equipment.

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.
