With so many options to choose from and little visible difference between garden hoses, it’s tempting to simply choose the cheapest one. But small differences can have a big impact on how long the hose lasts and how easy it is to use.

A high quality garden hose should last 5 to 10 years. But many homeowners who buy lower quality hoses end up replacing theirs each year due to leaks, cracks or rot. Although some problems can be repaired, it’s generally more cost-effective to buy a good quality hose to begin with.

How to Choose the Best Garden Hose for You

There isn’t just one kind of garden hose that’s perfect for everyone.

But, in general, there are six things you should consider when choosing a garden hose.

Important Considerations When Buying a Garden Hose

3. Material – Rubber is Best

4. Strength – Look at Burst Pressure

5. Flexibility – Try the Kink Test
