Watering hoses

Water Hoses

A garden hose should not only work — it should be easy to use, long‑lasting and blend seamlessly with the garden as a whole. by Benson’s flexible textile hoses are modern garden hoses that combine low weight, high durability and thoughtful design that harmonises with natural materials like wood, stone and greenery.

Unlike traditional plastic hoses, the hose expands when the water is turned on and contracts when the pressure is released. The result is a garden hose that’s easy to carry, simple to store and far less prone to tangling.

For a complete watering solution the hose can be combined with:  

• Sprayguns
• Hose connectors
• Hose reels
• Sprinklers
• Watering cans
• Watering bundles

What is a Flexible Garden Hose

A flexible garden hose is a hose that expands when the water is turned on and contracts when it’s turned off. It typically consists of an elastic inner tube, often latex, and a durable textile outer cover.

Unlike traditional plastic or rubber hoses, a flexible hose is lighter, easier to handle and takes up far less space in storage. It reduces the risk of kinks and tangles and is simple to move around the garden.

Also called an expandable garden hose, it’s a popular choice for anyone wanting a practical, easy‑to‑use and visually pleasing watering solution.

Flexible textile garden hoses — lightweight and highly flexible

A flexible garden hose is designed to expand under normal water pressure and contract when the water is turned off. That makes it significantly lighter than traditional plastic or rubber garden hoses and much easier to handle in everyday use.

Its low weight lets you move the hose smoothly between beds, planter boxes and the lawn without hauling anything heavy. For precise control of the water flow, the hose can be used together with our sprayguns for watering.

The flexibility also means the hose is far less likely to kink and takes up minimal space when not in use.

Textile garden hose — durable construction with a natural feel

What truly sets by Benson’s hoses apart is the durable textile outer cover. The material is engineered to withstand daily use while offering a soft, natural look that harmonises with wood, stone and planting.

Beneath the textile lies a flexible inner hose of natural latex that enables expansion. The combination delivers both strength and agility, while the textile protects against abrasion and reduces the risk of kinks.

For quick installation and a secure connection, the hose can be paired with our easy‑use hose connectors.

The difference between a flexible garden hose and a traditional garden hose

A classic garden hose is often heavy, stiff and hard to coil. It can kink, lie visibly across the garden and usually requires a hose reel for tidy storage.

A flexible garden hose:

• Weighs significantly less
• Expands only when in use
• Takes up minimal space in storage
• Is far less prone to tangling
• Is easier to carry between different areas of the garden

For many households it serves as the only watering solution needed, especially when paired with products like sprinklers or manual accessories such as adjustable spray guns.

Expandable garden hose — easy to use and store.

When the water is turned on the hose expands to its full length and provides a steady flow. When the water is turned off it contracts to about one third of its length, making it very easy to store.

This reduces both weight and volume compared with traditional hoses and saves you from large, cumbersome coils.

For a permanent, tidy solution the hose can be hung on a hose reel.

Design that blends into the garden

Traditional garden hoses are often more visible than they should be. by Benson has instead developed a design that lets the hose become a natural part of the garden, not a distracting element.

The colour palette is inspired by nature and created to suit both modern and classic settings. The result is a garden hose that can be left out without spoiling the overall look—whether you have a lush garden, a minimalist terrace, or a holiday cottage.

You can complement it with matching watering products such as sprinklers and watering cans.

Multiple lengths for different needs

Our garden hoses come in multiple lengths to suit different gardens and uses.

• 15 metres — ideal for balconies, patios or small gardens
• 25 metres — a flexible option for a typical family garden
• 50 metres — for larger areas or when the water outlet is far away

The expandable design ensures even the longer hoses remain easy to handle.

Award‑winning quality engineered for long lifespan

by Benson’s garden hoses were named Sweden’s Garden Product of the Year 2022 and have also received international nominations. The award reflects the company’s focus on quality, function and design balanced with sustainability.

Materials are chosen to withstand frequent use across many seasons while maintaining their appearance.

For a complete solution, we also offer ready watering bundles where multiple components are designed to work together.

How to choose the right garden hose for your garden

Choosing the right garden hose is about more than length — it also depends on how and where you’ll use it. A flexible textile garden hose is a great choice if you want a lightweight, manageable and aesthetically pleasing solution for everyday use.

First consider the area you need to reach. A shorter hose is often enough for balconies, courtyards or small gardens, while larger plots require longer models. Thanks to the expandable design, even a long hose feels easy to handle.

Think about how often you’ll use the hose. For daily watering, low weight and compact storage are especially important. If you want more control, pair the hose with sprayguns for precise watering or automate with sprinklers.

For a complete setup, the hose can be combined with hose connectors or included in a ready‑made watering bundle where all components are designed to work together.

Finally, design matters more than many think. A hose that blends into its surroundings is easier to keep out and use regularly — making garden work smoother and more inspiring in the long run.
