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

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


How do the prices stack up for 50' v 100' v 200' etc.? At least if one
50' section breaks you're not replacing the entire run - but then maybe
50' lengths are far more expensive per foot than longer hoses?

I'm sure you know that they make repair couplings.

If I had a 200' hose and it sprung a leak at 75' (or would that be
125'?) I wouldn't replace the entire run, I'd give up a few inches and
repair it.
