Before we launch into the second half of this guide, where we’ll review a few products, we mustn’t forget the different spray patterns available.

If you want to also use the hose for cleaning your driveway, the jet will be a handy addition. If you just want to shower your flowers, there’s nothing wrong with a product that focuses entirely on this.

Properly coated metal, such as zinc, is longer lasting in garden conditions since it is frost resistant. Many plastic garden hose guns perish prematurely due to being left outside in wintery conditions.

Carry on reading because we have some great advice! Material All hose guns have a variety of spray settings. Some have as few as two, which is suitable for basic gardening tasks such as gentle watering and the fierce cleaning of mud off a spade. If you also want to wash your car or patio, you'll need to choose a gun with at least five options. Here's a rundown of what the settings mean: In total, you’re likely to come across three different designs and the most common is shaped like a gun.
