Title: Measuring pole hose
Post by: kris martin on April 25, 2009, 04:24:04 pm

when you are measuring pole hose do you measure the inside or the outside, i  ordered some and i measured the inside at 5mm so ordered 5mm (far too thin), now just checking before i click confirm payment with gardiners that its 8mm and the outside of the hose..

cheers

Jet hose is smaller than pole hose of course.
