    Garden/water hose?

    Anyone use a stainless steel wrapped outdoor hose, any pro's/con's?

    Works great. Seems to be a 1/2 inch inside lining. Which causes spray pressure. I keep a nozzle for controlling flow. Get the steel ends the aluminum ones won’t last if unscrewed several times. Don’t let it freeze with water in it the lining is thin. The dog won’t chew it.

    Best thing lawn and garden related I ever did was buy a quality good year rubber hose. So much better than the alternatives.

    Amazon has a 100ft on a overstock sale with 29% off. The good rubber hose is too heavy for the wife.

    My wife had the same issue. Not that she couldn’t haul a quality rubber hose, and we use about 200 feet of the 3/4” stuff that costs a fortune for irrigation, but she saw the metal stuff at our daughter’s place and bought it for car washing and watering flower pots. I really like it, durability yet to be proven though.

    I have been using 2 50' and one 25' for 3 years now and really like them, and they are easily handled by the wife. Very easy roll up and move around without kinking. One negative is on concrete they dont flex if you step on them and they roll under your feet and can cause a fall.

    Yup, 12 years old with less than half of his teeth. Not that he's a constant chewer, but if he gets a notion then it's destroyed.

    Right on about stepping on them. Treacherous at best.

    These are nice, light and don't kink at least not unless you try very hard to kink it.
