Specialty Garden Hose Applications for Your Specialty Needs

Sometimes a standard garden hose just doesn’t do the trick. Every gardener, farmer and homeowner knows that the garden hose is one of your most important tools, but what if you need more than just a good way to get water from your outdoor faucet to where you want to put it? There are a number of specialty garden hose products that may meet your needs.

Cold Weather Watering

Your livestock still need watering when the temperatures drop below freezing. A standard one inch water hose won’t do the trick – standing water freezes in the hose and can cause even worse problems. What’s the solution? A heated garden hose can keep the water moving and the hose blockage free. There are a number of heated garden hose options on the market, but the best one – the GatorHyde Freeze Free Hose, offers some features you won’t find in many. The hose plugs into any GCFI protected extension cord and has an electric cuff to protect the plug for weather damage. Even better, it has some very nifty energy saving features that you won’t find anywhere else. The heated garden hose turns on when the temperatures drop to 35 F. and back off when the air temperature reaches 48 F., so it’s only drawing electricity when you need it.  It’s also drinking water safe, so you can feel comfortable using it to supply water for your RV or to fill water troughs for livestock.

Small Spaces

The wrong garden hose can make it a real challenge to garden in tight spaces like patios and small garden beds. The Mean Green coil garden hose is the perfect solution. The coiled hose is a retractable garden hose that easily stretches to its full length so you can reach all your flowers and lawn, then retracts to its original size for easy storage. In between, the coil garden hose is easier to navigate and maneuver. It’s lightweight, made of durable and safe polyurethane, and won’t ever kink. The industrial strength coil garden hose comes in three colors: green, blue or yellow, and is available in lengths from 15 feet (coiled length just over 2 feet) to 50 feet (coiled length 66 inches).

From drinking safe garden hose to lightweight polyurethane garden hoses, you’ll find garden hose choices that meet all of your need when you shop carefully. Don’t settle for a cheap garden hose from the local big box store. Figure out what you need, and then shop for your ideal garden hose online.
