The lifespan of a garden hose can vary depending on a number of factors, including the quality of the hose, how often it’s used, and how it’s stored.

How long do garden hoses last

In general, a well-made garden hose that’s used and maintained properly can last anywhere from 5 to 10 years or more.

Here are a few tips to help extend the life of your garden hose

Choose a high-quality hose: Look for a hose made from durable materials such as reinforced rubber or polyurethane. These hoses are less likely to kink or crack than cheaper, lower-quality hoses.

Store it properly: After each use, drain any water from the hose and store it in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. This will help prevent damage from UV rays and help prevent cracking and drying out.

Avoid sharp bends: Avoid bending the hose sharply or kinking it, as this can damage the hose and cause it to develop leaks.

Avoid dragging: Dragging the hose across rough surfaces can cause abrasions that can weaken the hose over time. Instead, pick up the hose and move it manually.

Check for leaks: Regularly inspect your hose for leaks or signs of damage, such as cracks or splits. If you notice any damage, replace the hose as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
