Title: Striped hose pipe HELP
Post by: Andy@w.c.s on June 09, 2007, 11:52:47 am

Hi All
I need some help with this
I am looking for some striped coloured  hose pipe
I will need about 20mtrs or so
Has anyone seen or heard of any ?
I am looking to make a continuous loop that can be wound  around a small track of objects , to show the ease at which a hose can be pulled passed and around  things using the slip'n'slide
this is for a stand at the county / horticultural  shows
Any thoughts or info
Thanks All
Andy

just an idea, the easy way to make your own is to find the right size heat shrink sleeves, they come in many colours.
just slide them on. and then heat them, they are water proof, and will stay on,

Hi Trevor
The idea is so as the pipe on a contiuos loop can be shown to be moveing around the pots and corners , wheels and stuff ,
My thoughts are if you can see it moving people will see just how it works , Hopefully without asking to many questions

Thanks Jouk
I knew if i asked on here i would i would get the answer i needed
