Pope Heritage Medium Duty Garden Hose (12mm) Fitted

There are many different kinds of hoses, each with their own purpose.

Garden Hose: This is the most common type of hose, used for general watering tasks around the house and garden. They come in various lengths and diameters, typically made from vinyl or rubber.

Medium Duty Hose: A step up from your standard garden hose, these are designed for tasks requiring slightly more pressure, like pressure washers or for reaching further distances. They are often constructed with reinforced layers for added durability.

Heavy Duty Hose: Built for the toughest jobs, these hoses can handle high water pressure and are ideal for construction sites or heavy-duty cleaning tasks. They are typically thicker and more robust than garden hoses.

Coil/Spiral Hose: These hoses come in a pre-coiled design that saves storage space and helps prevent kinks or tangles. They are a good option for smaller yards or when easy maneuverability is needed.

Expandable Hose: These hoses contract when not in use and expand when filled with water, making them very portable and easy to store. However, they may not be as durable as traditional hoses.

Lay Flat Hose: These flat hoses are designed to lay flat on the ground, conforming to uneven surfaces. They are ideal for watering large areas or gardens with raised beds.

Soaker Hose: These porous hoses allow water to seep out slowly along its entire length, perfect for deep root watering of plants and flower beds. They are a water-saving option compared to traditional watering methods.

Weeper Hose: Similar to soaker hoses, weepers have tiny holes that emit water slowly and directly to plant roots. They are ideal for established plants or gardens with delicate root systems.

Our products are naturally kink resistant, but depending on the temperature (especially in winter), hoses naturally do tend to kink when stored incorrectly.

To never worry about hose kinks, we highly recommend buying a hose cart or reel with your hose to make it last longer. This ensures your hose can be stored properly, doesn't get any accidental damage, and makes storage super easy.

Hoses are best stored in places that are outside of direct sunlight and rain, as these can wear down the UV treatment and break down the PVC slowly. This could mean just simply putting it in your garage, shed, or in a covered area.
