To make sure you’re buying the best garden hose for your money, you need to know what exactly to look for. Below we’ve put together a brief guide with some key features – but feel free to skip to our top picks, in which we list the best garden hoses based on quality, durability and extra features – including expandable hoses, kink free varieties and more.
Key Features
Anti-Kink
A kink free garden hose will prevent any irritating stoppages, so you can water your garden continuously the hassle-free way.
Expandable
With an expandable hose you’ve got much more length to play with when the hose is in use. Some hoses expand up to three times their size and shrink back down after use, allowing you to water a large area yet still store it compactly in the garage.
Braided Structure
This hard-wearing structure delivers quality and durability, ensuring your hose will last for years to come.
Tap Adaptor
Some hoses come with an adaptor for fitting to your tap – a handy extra that saves you from having to buy one separately.
