The Right Garden Hose Makes All the Difference

Your perfect garden hose is out there. Let's find it fast so you can get back to what matters.

Whether you're watering plants, washing the car, or filling the pool, the right water hose turns chores into quick wins. Here's how to pick your garden hose without getting tangled up in the details.

Know Your Hose Materials

Vinyl - Light on your wallet and your back. Perfect for basic watering, but watch for kinks.

Rubber - The workhorse water hose. Handles pressure like a champ and won't give you the kink-and-curse routine.

Reinforced Rubber - Rubber's tough older sibling. Extra muscle for heavy-duty garden hose jobs.

Polyurethane - The flexible garden hose champion. Stays supple in any weather and laughs at UV rays. Costs more upfront but pays you back. The Orbit Polyfusion Garden Hose is a cost-effective polyurethane option.

What Size Hose Should You Get?

Length: Measure twice, buy once. Add a few extra feet for wiggle room, but remember - longer water hoses mean heavier lifting and less pressure.

Diameter: Most folks do fine with 5/8". Need serious flow? Go 3/4" and make an impact with your flexible garden hose.

The Extras That Count

Fittings: Brass beats plastic every time. Look for connections that actually connect on your water hose.

Nozzles: Built-in options give you spray patterns galore. One garden hose, many tricks.

Tough Specs: High burst pressure keeps your flexible garden hose flowing. UV protection keeps your water hose from becoming yard art.
