Garden Hose Pipes

The average hose pipe is about 15 - 50  metres long. However, the best hose pipe length will largely depend on your garden and its size. Do not buy more than you need. If your garden is 30 metres long, don’t buy a 50-metre-long hose pipe. This will ensure you get the best performance when using your garden hose. Our Hozelock Ultimate 50m Hose is extra-long and has a smooth inner liner for great performance, perfect for watering every hard-to-reach corner of any large garden. 

You can easily attach your hose to an outdoor tap (even a kitchen tap!) with any of Easy Garden Irrigation’s wide range of hose tap connectors. For example, fit the Hozelock Outdoor Tap Connector to your garden tap, and a Hozelock Hose End Connector to your garden hose, and you have a quick-click connection that allows for a quick and fuss-free attachment and detachment.

The most common cause of kinks in a hosepipe is inadequate or awkward storge. Coil a hose neatly and store them in a hose reel or rack to keep it in a safe position. See our guide to hose pipe storage for step by step instructions on how to properly coil, store, and maintain a hose. 

There are both stylish and practical ways to store and organize your hose pipes. Some solutions include hose reels, hosepipe holders or hangers, and hose storage pots. These will keep your hosepipes tidy and protected. 

If you find that the water pressure in your garden hose has decreased, there may be a leak. A decrease in water pressure may also be due to debris or dirt blockage, insecure connections, or a drop in pressure from the mains water supply. 

Leaks can easily be fixed using a hose repair connector. See our garden hose maintenance guide for step-by-step instructions on how to mend any damage. 

It’s very easy to clean your garden hose with bleach water, vinegar water, or even essential oils. Do this every three to four months as hoses can quickly buildup a lot of dust and dirt! You can also clean hose fittings and nozzles using mild dishwashing detergent and a non-abrasive sponge. For more information about how to clean and maintain your garden hose, click here.

Yes! You can use our range of hose repair connectors to join hose pipes together to extend them or to repair a leak. These will permanently connect any two lengths of garden hose. The Hozelock Metal Hose Repair Connector Pro is a great option for hose pipe extension. 

There are different types of connectors for garden hoses. They can create a watertight connection to the tap, join two lengths of hose together, and connect your garden hose to watering accessories such as a spray nozzle or lawn sprinkler. 

Preparing your hose pipe for winter is a very important task before you store it during the colder months. Remove the connectors from either end of the hose to allow the water to escape easily. If you have hoses that are buried underground, you may need to install a drainage valve. Our guide, Preparing Irrigation Systems for Winter, will offer more advice on how to avoid freezing and other winter damage. 

Garden hoses are typically made of PVC, and are now made to be free of phthalate and other heavy metals. They are reinforced with up to five layers with either a braided or kitted structure and can include anti-kink and no twist properties for ease of use. Our Hozelock Ultimate Hoses are 25% lighter than other hoses, contain 40% recycled PVC and are 100% Phthalate and heavy metal-free. 

Expandable hose pipes, like our Hozelock Superhoze, can grow up to three times their original length. This is beneficial for those who are looking for a hose that offers compact and convinient storage. The premium build quality, lightweight construction and kink-free design are other big advantages for choosing a Hozelock Superhoze over competitors.
