How To Buy The Right garden hose?

You can opt for this helpful aid to water your surroundings and to keep them clean during the hot and dusty summer months. You can easily decide on whether to buy one or not - however, to decide on where to, how to and which one to buy is always a tougher puzzle. Depending on the budget you allocate for purchasing a garden hose, you can opt for a low or high quality one. It is better to buy one that is durable, flexible and made of material like rubber, otherwise you may need to replace it with a new one in the near future.

Vinyl hoses are inexpensive and usually of a low quality. You typically get a garden hose in four sizes ranging from half an inch to one inch. You can purchase one with a larger diameter if you have a bigger area to cover and the distance between the water supply and area to be watered is more or if you need to water uneven ground. If your garden features small plants, there is no point in purchasing a thicker hose - the thickness varies from 2-6 plies.

The thicker it is, the greater would be the pressure per square inch. Moreover, the thick ones tend to bend more and therefore, you would not experience an even flow of water, and would have trouble watering your plants. There are different types of garden hoses: ordinary and commercial ones, Soaker, Flat, Coil, Farm & Ranch, and Camper & Marine hoses. You can get a variety of models under these categories. Before buying a garden hose, you can even consult your neighbors or friends who have the required buying experience.
