I may be needing another 200 or so feet of garden hose for a

Should I buy the cheap $7.97 lengths of 50 feet from
Walmart, or get the braided nylon good stuff for 14.97?

Don't want to go 100 feet, that's too clumsy to handle.
Since the hose is used one or two days a year, I'm leaning
toward the cheap hose, it won't get much use. And won't be
out in the sunshine for very long. The expensive stuff means
more credit card debt.


if you're talking about those bright yellow ones, they last fairly well.
I've only had problems with them where they are driven over on a
gravel driveway. They have a tendency to de-laminate in the layers and
then bulge and blow. Course I have 112psi on my outside hydrants also.
For occasional use i'd certainly buy the cheap ones.
