Gardeners prefer PVC braided fiber garden pipe over rubber pipe given to its flexibility, crack and tear resistance, durability and long life. Using this pipe, you will never experience low pressure of water only to find out later that the water is gushing out of the crack in the hose. It can be used once or twice daily to water plants and maintain the lawn. This garden pipe is used outdoors, which is why it is designed to be UV stable and withstand other external factors.
