The Only 2 Garden Hoses That Survive a Freezing PNW Winter
Every spring, gardeners across the PNW turn on their spigots only to be sprayed in the face by a vinyl hose that cracked during a January freeze. If you want a hose you only have to buy once, you need to step up to commercial rubber or premium polyurethane.
1. Continental Premium Commercial Rubber Garden Hose
If you are tired of your hoses splitting, cracking, or turning into stiff plastic in January, get this. It is a commercial-grade rubber hose. It is built to be dragged across gravel, run over by cars, and left out in the snow.
- Commercial grade rubber.
- Resists cracking.
- Flexible in winter.
2. Water Right Professional Polyurethane Garden Hose
The best option for a lightweight, easy-to-use hose. It is made from polyurethane, which is incredibly strong but weighs a fraction of what rubber does.
- Drinking water safe.
- Lightweight.
- Lead and BPA free.
