As one of the most important tools in garden cleaning, the right hose can make our gardening twice as easy as it should be, while the wrong choice can be an inconvenience, a waste of money, or even damage your garden. This article focuses on flexible garden hose , following are 5 mistakes we need to avoid when shopping a flexible hose for our garden.
One of the most important considerations when buying a garden hose is the material, flexible garden hoses usually consist of two layers, an inner layer to transport the hose and an outer layer to protect the inner layer. The inner layer is made of either TPE or latex, both of which ensure that the hose is retractable. The outer layer is made of polyester, common thickness are 2200D, 2500D, 3300D. The thicker the thickness, the better the quality and the more expensive the price.
Traditional garden hoses are not retractable, so measure the watering area ahead of time when shopping to avoid difficulty in watering all areas of the garden. The flexible hose can stretch up to three times its original length when connected to a water pipe, but the length of the stretch varies due to different water pressures, so you can add some length when shopping to avoid a hose that is too long or too short.
The functionality of the water gun has a lot to do with the use of the scene, from the basic 7-function gun to 10-function gun, the release mode of the water gun can be adjusted to the corresponding needs, if you still have the need to wash the car, you can purchase additional high-pressure water gun to meet the needs of different use of the scene.
Hose fittings are another factor to consider, hose fittings come in quick connect, threaded, and threaded with valves. Quick connect fittings make it easier to connect and remove fittings, and fittings with valves control the flow of water in and out. By material there are plastic, aluminium and brass. Brass fittings are more durable, corrosion resistant and suitable for long term investment.
Proper storage can greatly extend the life of your garden hose. Failure to dry out excess moisture after use can easily cause the hose to become mouldy. Prolonged sitting on the ground can lead to hose damage and kinking, so purchase a hose reel or wall hook to neatly store and protect your hose when not in use.
Buying a garden hose is also a learning curve, and avoiding these common mistakes and investing in the right hose can make your gardening life more efficient and enjoyable.
