Can anyone tell me if this is appropriate for hanging baskets? They are 7 feet above the hose bib, just wondering if the pressure would be adequate.

There is a "Patio kit" that might be better served. Both kits come with 25 psi regulators. You will want a lot of 1/4" lines where as the "Garden kit" is built on a 1/2" trunk line. The Garden kit is very accommodating though and will serve your needs but you may need to purchase additional 1/4" line and emitters.

I don't know what the minimum pressure is for this device, but I know that we have 42 psi out of hose bib and it worked very good at this pressure. This was attached to a 50 ft hose.

You may need a different kind of pump. This is an submersible pump...you stick it in the water. I wish it did work connected to the bib. Second, I have not tried to pump that high. I'd have to test it. I've done a 4-5 foot rise successfully. But nothing close to 8 feet. It will be interesting to see if anyone else has be able to get it to pump up to 8 feet.

I agree with you this is a poor way to do business. I took the connection off and adapted to quarter inch plastic tubing. Then I adapted to a garden hose fitting at the other end. I used 5 feet of tubing so I would not be holding the weight of a garden hose. Good luck

We also felt that the pressure is low, but we decided to leave this as is for water savings. Send your request to manufacturer, Phister Customer's Service is exellent. (they helped us more then expected, sent us a lot of spare details without any charge). Good luck

You won't be able to stand them up in the basket as they would fall thru holes. You could lay them down but I wouldn't think they would wash well with the way the water sprays.

I suppose you can hang them if you have "S" hooks and chain. I love love these baskets - good quality..

I bought the 25' to use for my patio plants.....I barely turn it on and get a nice shower for my plants..It is my opinion that you should not use much pressure. I received a 50' hose for Christmas to use in my front yard...do not plan on using much pressure..

Definitely, this thing is great. Uses a bit of water so attaching a hose is your best bet. Go for it you won't be sorry.

I don't use the baskets - no reason not to just habit most likely. I fill a charcoal chimney positioned over the gas flame and then dump once lit. I can them move coals where I want them. Cheers!

I use my Gilmour Brass 4 way attached to hydrants that stick up out of the ground 3 to 4 feet. No problem with the hydrants holding them.

We've used ours (several of them, mounted various places) for up to 3/4" x 100' hoses. Depends upon the size of loops one feeds onto the hanger, of course; I/we always opted for bigger loops and, hangers mounted at about waist level.

I use a 1/4 inch hose . I've also used it for light framing and never had a problem. Recovery time is excellent.

Don't think they are big enough for that large a basket. Try an old fashioned paper towel/cheapest brand so it's the thinnest;-)and make your own for that monster.

i would not recommend that. The pole and basket are heavy enough where I would be concerned it would tip over, especiallyif you have the basket fully extended. I also put it together myself. I am not very handy and was able to do it all until I got to the last few steps. some larger wrenches definitely made a difference in knocking it out. Follow the directions and go slowly to make sure nothing is put on backwards.

Travis O., this tubing is pretty sturdy but not if it is long like a cane, it might bend under pressure. I had to cut it with a saw to get it to the lenght I needed for my mom's fish tank. So I it is not as strong like PVC pipe so you might want to use something else. God Bless, Reggie J.

This item is pretty sturdy, but I don't know if it will hold the weight of a LARGE flower basket. I know some flower baskets can weigh up to 30 pounds with flowers in once they grow in and when they're watered. If you hang a small basket on either end that doesn't grow a ton of flowers, it may work.
