How do you choose a hosepipe?

Hosepipes may all look similar, but there are many options when it comes to material, length and storage.

As a rule of thumb, rubber hoses are the most durable ones you can buy. They are less prone to wear and tear and strong enough to handle high water pressures, although they tend to be pricier than other materials.

Vinyl will generally be the cheapest, and they're lightweight, but they're also prone to kinking and will need to be reinforced to match rubber in durability.

And if you want to use it with a pressure washer, look for mentions of burst pressure – this needs to be at least 350 psi.

To determine how long your hose should be, measure the furthest point that needs to be watered from your outside tap and order the next longest size.

Bear in mind that the longer the hose, the lower the water pressure so don't go for any longer than you need.
