Default Hose Across driveway

hobbes wrote:

Hi,

I want to water a patch of grass the other side of my driverway. Is
there a good way to get a hose across there?

I am concerned about hose damage due to rolling over it with a car. I
looked at Linebacker rubber hose protectors, but at $US 119 per 3
feet, that is a $US 350 to a 9 foot wide driver way. Is there a
cheaper way? Is there a hose that will take being run over repeatedly
by cars?

Someone mentioned Flexogen hose pipes, will these do the trick?

Best, Mike.


If the hose is on, the pressure in the hose will be somewhere around 50 psi.
The pressure in your tires is around 30 psi.
I suspect that you will not completely flatten the hose.
Just don't drive over the fittings.

Of course, laying 2x4's next to the hose sounds like a good idea.
