Garden Hose

SNAKE!!! Oh… it is just a green garden hose.

‘Garden hoses’ are also known as ‘hoses’, ‘water hoses’ and ‘hosepipes’, and are typically green in colour, but can be black, silver or blue, among others.
A garden hose is a portable and flexible tube that carries water from a water supply, typically around the garden.
Garden hoses commonly have a nozzle or sprinkler attached to focus or disperse water onto a particular area.
Garden hoses are generally made of waterproof materials like vinyl or rubber, or a combination of the two, with the addition of reinforcing to add strength.
Garden hose materials are typically hardy and strong, although they are not normally made for use with heated water.

The ends of garden hoses can generally be connected together to make a longer hose.
Garden hoses have their origins in fire fighting hoses, originally made from ox intestines from 400BC, and the invention of stitched together leather hoses were by the Dutch inventor (among other things), Jan van der Heyden in the 1600s.
In the 19th century, fire hoses saw numerous improvements to the materials and methods of production, that included cotton and rubber hoses, and by the 1900s, people were purchasing the new and improved hoses for garden hose use.
Some garden hoses leak poisonous chemicals into the transported water, and are therefore, not safe to drink from.
Garden hoses come in various lengths, thicknesses and weights, and it is important to consider these options before purchasing a hose, especially the weight, as some hoses can be quite heavy, especially if they contain rubber.
