Hi
I am new to irrigation so this is a dumb question. I built my veg patch and put 13mm poly tube irrigation with drip holes in there
I thought it would be cool to feed the house through the sleeper and have a hose connection point. So when I have time Ill make a T shape connection and connect another veg patch ( next to this one) with the one hose
I need just the same type of hose but without any holes and one I can get to length. Then also to fit the 13mm hose connection adapter in there like the picture
Hi @PatDIY_Dad
No Question is silly as we all are on the Same DIY path here personally I learn new things every day too so we all in the same boat.
I like your hose plan it is going to work well.
Plan A What you allready are familiar with.
What you need to buy is simply another stock standard hose with fittings usually attched both ends.
Simply cut it to size so it fits your garden. Then you can buy some new 13mm standard hose fitting and make use of the remainder.
Or use it on another section of garden.
Plan B
You can look at a fixed gardening poly Pipe it is cheaper than garden hose and lasts longer. There are a whole lot of hose fittings and elbows and tee joins perfect for long term garden installation.
Instead of clicking together it uses barbed plastic ends that also uses 13 mm hose clamps easy once you see it all. Tip warn the poly pipe dipped into hot water to add new barb fittings.
when you buy the new poly pipe hose it is all curled up and spring like. Simply install it on a sunny day the sun will warm the pipe and help it lay straight.
Dont want to over whelm you with to much info so I will stop here
It comes in 13mm pipe and 19mm pipe. Stay with 13mm pipe to match the flow in your garden hose.
I highly recommend looking at this watering solution to further your irrigation options.
