Which is the best garden hose to buy?

You may think every garden hose is the same, but there are a range of materials and styles available. Here are the most popular hoses you will find to help you pick a hose for your garden!

  • PVC Hoses: Garden hoses made of PVC are very common due to their affordability and flexibility. Lightweight and resistant to kinks, they are easy to use making them a great choice. To protect your PVC hose, make sure to store it safely as exposure to UV and weather can cause them to become brittle. If you are eco-conscious but want the benefits of a PVC hose, try a hose made of recycled PVC.
  • Rubber Hoses: If you are looking for a hose that can withstand high water pressure, extreme temperatures and heavy use, choose a rubber hose. These hoses are also less prone to kinking and very flexible. They are heavier than PVC hoses but less prone to wear.
  • Metal Hoses: Generally made of stainless steel, these hoses are made to be extremely durable. Metal hoses are resistant to weathering, kinking and can handle high water pressures and temperatures. However they are heavier and can be hard to manoeuvre.
  • Expanding Hose Pipes: These hoses are very lightweight and compact making them perfect if you are short on storage space. Expanding hose pipes, as the name suggests, expand when filled with water and are very flexible. But they are not as durable as the other options and are more likely to wear out or become damaged.


What accessories do I need for my garden hose?

There are a few accessories that will make using your garden hose a lot easier. Here are our top recommendations:

  • Hose Connector: In order to connect your hose to a tap securely, a hose connector is needed. These often feature a clench mechanism to prevent any leaks or gaps in pressure. They are also easy to use! Our FloPro Garden Hose Connector which features a soft grip handle, so you won’t strain your hand when connecting your hose.
  • Reel: A hose reel allows you to not only store your hose easily, but use it with minimal hassle. They can be carried around the garden and slowly unravel more of your hose as you need it. Our Ultra-Convenient Garden Hose Reel 14M offers smooth unwinding as well as spray nozzle so you can water easily.

This makes watering your plants easier and allows your hose to be used for other tasks like car washing or pet cleaning.

How do I choose the right hose for my garden?

There are a few things to consider to make sure to garden hose you perfect suits your outdoor needs:

  • Length: To be able to use your hose effectively, it’s important you have one the right length. Don’t choose the longest hose you can find - this can actually make use more difficult as it will be heavier.
  • Durability: It’s important to choose a durable garden hose to ensure it lasts year after year. Select a hose that can withstand the consistent water pressure and regular use. Also think about kink resistance.
  • Weight: A heavier garden hose is going to be a lot more difficult to move around. Try to choose a lighter hose where possible so using your hose doesn’t turn into a workout.
  • Accessories: Lots of hoses come with accessories to make use easier, such as hose connectors and nozzles. Find a hose that comes with these accessories or make a note to buy them separately, as you will definitely need them!
  • Appearance: With all the above considered, colour is also a factor. Many garden hoses come in green which makes them hard to spot in the grass. If this is something that might cause you trouble, opt for brighter colours instead.
