hozelock hosepipe alternatives
« on: June 30, 2015, 09:36:44 pm »
i have a hozelock hose on the van (just for filling the tank etc) that's lasted for a few years, doesn't kink and is really good and hard wearing. but i bought a cheaper hozelock hose for my garden and it's the worst hose i've ever seen, it kinks so easily and has loads of holes in it after very little use, it's comeplete rubbish. has anyone got any suggestions of hozelock alternatives that are reasonable priced and decent quality as i don't want to pay loads just for the garden. i need 50m

Buy Gardena Products they are expensive but worth it.  Below is a link to the 50 metre ones but they do shorter ones as well.  Interesting point is there is an 18 year and 25 year guarantee on the better quality ones and I have had mine over 20 years with no problem.  You get what you pay for and they are German Quality  ;D

Now you are here, can you tell me if the tarmac restorer you sell can be applied in hot weather, as I am afraid it could dry patchy ?
