Do they get holes when stored ? The type of hose I bought last year and hung in my garage over winter is now more of a sprinkler hose.

Both of the ones I bought broke at the neck where it connects after only a few uses. The hose themselves were fine, but they don't seem to have great long term durability.

i just got this hose because it was the highest customer satisfaction rating. so far, it has been great. I have yet to have it over the winter, but when it gets here, i will most likely store it in a bin. maybe the cold weather cracks the inner tubing. I did have the pocket hose, and it did burst, but not crack. I am thorough satisfied with this hose thus far.thank you

. I got them to trap the water fromMelting snow off my car in the garage. I would say it woildnt be wose to leave them outside in the winter as they might split if they had a lot of water on them and they froze.

Like others have said, these come in a heavy ziplock bag. Mine lasted through about 3 seasons and I stored the unused ones in a cool, dark place. I live in Alaska, so that wasn't hard. They seem to hold their moisture well, but shrink considerably if allowed to dry out, which I avoid. My neighbor bought some and they started to mold and then crumble and fall apart after a year or so. I'm guessing she didn't keep them in a cool enough place. So, I'd say with proper care they should last as long as 4 seasons. They do work very well and I assume it is because they don't dry out quickly. Also, I use a gallon ziplock as a mini-greenhouse and just blow a breath (CO2) into the bag once a day or so. Like others have said, these come in a heavy ziplock bag.

I'm not sure I have been using mine all winter here in Kentucky. Been in the teens while using the hoses. Only problems at that I seen the hoses wasn't as plyable.

I don't think so. My hose seeps - not sprays, so I end up winding it around some plants, so the water gets to them all.

Yes, mine did. I haven't used them yet because the old hose sections (from my previous KK) are still OK. I'm not sure how many sections of new hose were included and I can't get to the stored new box just now to check - sorry. I seem to remember reading about that when I purchased, but perhaps not.

No holes are needed. This is soaker hose, not drip hose. Soaker hose weeps along the whole length. Just don't turn the water on full strength.

No holes. You would have to drill the holes. I used it under the washing machine to catch the water that was not draining properly,

I empty it and put it in the shed through the winter just like I do the hoses. It came through just fine.

The light seals into the housing tightly. I have had mine rained on many times with no issues, I am not sure about sprinklers if the water comes from an upward angle but I think everything would be fine.

Yes. They have punch-out drain holes, but they're really big - about an inch in diameter. I didn't want to lose that much water so quickly, so I drilled smaller holes. If you do use the punched-out holes, you'll need something to cover them to prevent losing soil - maybe a paper coffee filter.

I live in northern OH and I do take the pool down at the end of Summer. I think the brutal temperatures we see in the winter, could cause the canvas to become brittle and crack prematurely. I have had the pool for two years now and this season the pool was still like new, flexible, and no holes!

if the ties aren't tight on the hose they do come loose and have to pull back up other than that don't see a problem. They look like tube socks. hope this helps. i wish i would have gotten then a long time ago it would have saved clogged drains!

No.I had two that last one season. One day I am watering my plants and POWWWWWW....It blew up in the hand carrying the hose. My hand was bruised for a couple of days and luckily no child was holding it or near anyone's face. My neighbor returned theirs due to leakage. Great idea but not perfected yet.

The hose is simply pressed in and fits snug enough to hold it securely. If your hose is old or cracked it may not hold anymore. A new hose can be bought at almost any hardware store.

No, the holes are covered. The holes would allow water to get undernearth the mat. They will not move and fit perfectly. hope this helps.

I just got these a couple weeks ago and there were no holes. Perhaps there is a regional variance or it is depending on who is selling them. But I'd go into it assuming they are sans holeage.
