A garden hose is a flexible tube used to convey water for gardening, landscaping, and other outdoor tasks. Typically made from rubber or vinyl, garden hoses come in various lengths and diameters to suit different needs. They often feature connectors at both ends, allowing users to attach them to a water source, such as a faucet or sprinkler. Garden hoses can be used for watering plants, washing cars, or filling pools. Some hoses are designed to be lightweight and easy to maneuver, while others are more durable for heavy-duty use. Accessories like hose reels and nozzles can enhance their functionality.
