Default Is it possible to connect a garden hose to a shower hose?

Not really a problem. A standard shower hose uses 1/2" BSP threads. A
standard outside tap - to which you would normally attach a garden
hose - has 3/4" BSP threads on its output - but some have 5/8" BSP or
even 1/2" BSP threads.


Incidentally, the mind boggles as to why you want to extend your
shower into the garden!


As the owner of a Labrador Retriever I'll take a wild guess...!

What he said, 1/2" BSP, no problems.

However, note the hose isn't designed to take hot water, it will
soften and will split


A quick look on ebay throws up a proper 4m shower hose:

....and you could use two back-to-back with an adapter:
