As far as expanding hose pipes go a lot of thought went into this hose. It can not only talk the talk, but it can walk the walk, expanding from 33ft to 100ft, brass accessories and a seven-function spray nozzle (with very luxurious metal and rubber combi casing for the handle also ), it is a very healthy contender against our favourite hose.

A good gardening hose is a must have for the modern UK household garden – the modern person typically needs a hose that is going to enable them to use it in loads of different ways with ease. From soaking the lawn to washing the car – they aren’t just restricted to the garden anymore.

While most hoses are expected to last between 5 – 10 years, you wouldn’t be alone in being one of the many who have experienced the epic battle with their garden hose (which can at times more resemble a boa constrictor) in order to unkink it from their wonky hose reel– and that’s before you have even turned the water on to face the garden with it.
[aawp fields=”B082XQLTQ8″ value=”thumb” image_size=”large” image=”4″]
The relfex reaction might be to rush to the nearest department store and grab the first hose you see that is long enough to reach your driveway thinking that is best only to discover that it is as effective as a water pistol.

Back to the department store again… there comes a point where trying to find something affordable ends up working against you and times where you can spend above and beyond for something that’s all show, and no go.
It can frustrate even the most patient and ambivalent to have to wade through the endless varieties of garden hoses only to have another one break – when they are seemingly all the same. Ah, but are they? When the best hose can lead the way to the best garden it’s worth a bit of thought.

If you haven’t experienced a burst garden hose pipe then you’ve come to the right place to avoid it happening anytime soon. We have explored features that are worth consdiring before shelling out on another hose pipe again, how to maximise the lifespan of your hosepipe and the Top 5 Best Garden Hose Pipes on the UK market for 2020 (and why we liked em!).

Trying to find the best garden hoses isn’t simple. Dig into the garden hose pipe market and there is plenty to choose from leaving people wondering what is the right things to focus on – Length? Strength? Dare I say it…Warranty? There is some common sense involved, for example if you bend the hose into a ‘U’ and it immediately kinks, toss that baby back on the shelf because it is nowhere near flexible enough. Here are the features you might want to think about to figured out the best garden hose for you:

As mentioned, it can be easy to blinded by ‘longest is best’ but this isn’t always the case. A hose that is too lengthy for the garden is just going to be a drag and make the job longer, as well as being a pain to store. You don’t want something that is going to end up in heaps around your garden acting as a hazard for household members (like small children). You are also going to want something that you can reel up easily, you can have your hosepipe wall mounted, in a hosebox or buy a hose with a portable storage bag – the length is going to be a factor when storing it, not just using it so you want to make the best choice here.

Generally, we would recommend that you opt for metal connectors over plastic since they will be more leak-resistant and durable but that isn’t to say that you can’t find a good garden hose with plastic connectors that isn’t right for you – they certainly can be easier to attach and for some more petite people a hose with metal fixings can be a wee bit too heavy for them to lug around the garden comfortably. That said, plastic can be tough to tighten which leads to cracking so it will come down to your preference. (P.s – although most hose connections are standardized always double check your garden water source! Lest’ ye end up with a round hose connector and a square tap).

Garden hoses are typically made from vinyl, rubber, or a combination of both. Rubber hoses are great if you intend on keeping your hose outside because they are superbly weatherproof and resistant to the sun, as well as being tough to kink and so you can rely on them not to split or burst. Be mindful though that rubber hoses are ideal heavy-duty chores so if you’re looking to complete light garden tasks a vinyl alternative would do just as well for those as well as being more affordable if you are on a bit of a budget.

We had to make sure to get this one in there and there is two words for why – ‘Burst pressure’. This term that you might see bandied about refers to the point at which the hose has the potential to split, rupture or burst as a result of water pressure. FYI – If you intend on using a spray gun, I.e. for sprinkling the grass then ideally you need something around or above 350 psi. That is going to be the best fit and mean you aren’t putting your hose under pressure it just can’t handle.
There are various factors that you can consider and it might seem like an over-complicated process – but it’s worth the money in time, experience and stress to find the right garden hose pipe for you.
