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:
