WHAT DO I CONSIDER BEFORE BUYING A GARDEN HOSE
1. The Hose length
Hose
come in 25 foot increment so you have to consider our large your yard is before
buying. For instance for small yards, a
25 footer might just be fine. Also note that the longer the Hose the lower the
pressure when gets to the end. For a front and back yard spigots, you can put
in for two 25 foot hoses, one for front and back.
2. The Price of the hose
H What is your budget? how much do you want to spend?
Hoses vary in prices. To get a good
quality, multi-ply 50-foot hose for instance you will budget to spend about $20-30. Prices may be
higher for some of the high end durable flat garden hoses.
3. Don't budget for too cheap garden
hose
You'll end up blaming yourself “Penny wise pounds foolish” Poor quality
hoses are not durable, have a very short life expectancy. A standard hose is constructed from one to six
plies. A 6-ply garden hose will be durable if properly stored in the winter. In
the long run, a quality hose will be your least expensive option.
4. Warranty Status:
watch out for a
good warranty for the hose. A reputable company will guarantee their garden
hoses from leaking or cracking and damage for a reasonable specified amount of
time.
5. Sturdy frame of Hose:
You might
also want to consider a sturdy garden hose reel. It can actually be frustrating
and annoying having to wrestle with hose per time. A garden hose reel is stress
free when you have clean and do general maintenance. With Simple wind up you
store it in the garage or shed for future use
