Jen&Rog Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I have once again hurt my back so need to make a few adjustments to how I do things! 1. I am getting someone else to mow the lawn, and 2. I'm getting a decent hose that is not a hassle to get out/put away, and actually reaches the end of the garden. So, has anyone got a really decent hose they could recommend which is lightweight, good quality & easy to use? Thanks all, Jennie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackrocksrock Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 I have seen the X- hose I think its called in ASDA and also on tv advert - looks great and lightweight but not seen any reviews on it - I fancy that one myself but I think you need a decent water pressure.

clucker1 Posted April 26, 2015 Share Posted April 26, 2015 Hoze lock ultimate, is v good not light weight though, we bought ours from garden4less.co.uk a v efficient competitive priced company last year when we bought. Delivery v efficient . One of those types which go flat on a reel might be good for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 If you can get the metal fixings then do - it is more expensive but they don't ping off at the tap or the nozzles. Ours is a heavy duty hose though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicester_H Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Not a hose recommendation but.... I use one of these in the summer when I need to use the hose most days http://www.lakeland.co.uk/52060/Hang-a-Hose Seems Lakeland don't sell it any more but I'm sure a google search would find one. Keeps hose tidy and handy without the fuss of winding it onto the reel every time. H Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted May 31, 2015 Share Posted May 31, 2015 Interesting. We have big hooks, although the hose is draped across the garden where I hose down chicken poop regularly! My neighbour has one of those expandable ones and loves it. That looks interesting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jen&Rog Posted September 2, 2015 Author Share Posted September 2, 2015 So I thought it was time for a hose update!!! I got one of those magic expanding ones in the end - very good! Need good water pressure as this is what makes it expand. Cat fascinated. Doesn't seem to work with my sprinkler, can't get enough pressure, so alas I need to keep my old hose for this, sigh! If you ever get one of these hoses, don't pull it off the tap before you've run off all the water inside it. You'll find it goes completely out of control, spraying wildly all over the place and in your face, impossible to catch it. Luckily no one saw me, but I bet it looked funny. I was soaked.
