How to Extend an Outdoor Hose Bib Anywhere!

This garden hose holder has a faucet! Move your hose bib anywhere in your yard.
If your outdoor hose isn't located in an ideal location, this product will help a ton! It allows you to extend your water source to where you use it most.
There are many little details that I wish we had thought
of while finishing this house (that started as a spec house) years ago. One of those
little things that has always bugged me is how low and shallow our outdoor
spigots are.
I wish I would have had them installed higher for easier reach. They are SO
low and so close to the stone, it's difficult to get a hose attached.
And as
we get older, we avoid struggling with anything that requires crouching.
Ha!
We've always used hose holders that sit on the ground. You may remember I
spray painted them a few years ago:

They've held up GREAT (I'll show you in a minute), and I love the look of
them, but we wanted something taller. Also, the clippings from the yard
are always all over the place and stick like glue.
I did some looking around online to see if there was a solution that would
raise everything (including the spigot) up off the ground. I found the
solution!
This
garden hose holder has a faucet
that connects to the bib on the house:
When the package arrived and I opened it up, it looked like a lot of pieces.
I put it to the side for a few weeks till I had some extra time to sit down
with it. And then when I did, it took about two minutes to assemble.
That's
always the way...what I think will be easy takes 45 minutes and what
I think will be difficult takes a couple.
It's really just three parts that snap together. It was also super easy to
get staked into the ground.
Dampen the soil if yours doesn't go into the ground easily.
We have
a very long expandable hose
that I love and I wasn't so sure it would fit on the holder without pulling
it over when filled up. It didn't even budge!:
**I ordered
this extension hose
to reach to the spot I'm moving it to -- it's supposed to be flexible (our
current one is not) and comes in a bunch of sizes.
I also LOVE that you don't have to crouch to get the hose or to turn it on.
It is so easy to use!:
You hook the extender hose up to the back of the stand and then the main hose to the spigot on the front. So easy! We liked it so much I immediately ordered another one for the other side of the house.
They aren't the most beautiful holders, but they are streamlined enough that
you don't really notice them. The great part is you can easily hide them
behind bushes for or trees too. I'll probably bury the lead hose in the mulch
so you don't see it.
I think this is thing is brilliant! It comes with a two year warranty as well.
I thought it may solve the same issues you too! You can find the
standing hose holder here, the
flexible extension hose
I ordered and the long expandable hose
we love.
Recently we had a plumber come out for an outdoor issue and I asked his thoughts on these hose extenders -- he completely approved and said they won't affect the bib or water flow issues at all.
We love them! I thought you may find them useful as well!

We were just getting ready to call a plumber to have ours moved because of this exact issue! I will order one of these instead and same lots of money to spend on something much cuter than a faucet!
ReplyDeleteWe just found these this year and are SO useful and practical! I've also attached to my mom's deck with zip ties so she can water her deck plants without having to walk up and down deck stairs to the spigot on the house.
ReplyDeleteI’ve been trying to figure out a solution to watering my deck plants too! So do you leave the main spicket that’s attached to the house on all the time and then your Mom turn the hose on from the deck as needed?
DeleteIf you have a Tractor Supply near you, they carry one as well.
ReplyDeleteDo you have to turn the spigot (main valve)on and off each time? Or can you leave it on?
