How many off u get ped of with catching your wfp hose on stuff or it getting wrapped around your legs or tripping u up.
Any of u bright sparks know or invent some kinda retractable thingbob that can be stuck on the end of a pole to rewind hose.
Sum1 gotta invent sumthing lol

i suppose most are using smaller hose now, maybe use a vac  automatic rewind cord from an old one, cant see why it would not work, just need a bigger wheel and a bigger spring, apart from that, we just have to live with it

I have a hook on my pole to coil the pole hose onto between back and front and walking to and from the van. It also keeps the hose tidy when I lob the pole in the van.

I start working at the furthest window & work back towards the van.That way the hose is laid out straight from the beginning & I find it much easier to manage.

it only takes a paving slabs to be 5mm out of place to pee me off. for something so trivial the pole hose almost always get caught

Aint it funny how you can pull microbore round 1 car tyre but not 2...

Also when winding in and the pipe doubles up behind a tyre, just pull the end(quite hard) that has the connector on and it frees it up...

Bit boring I know but any tips are better than no tips

done that before when the hose was on a wall but stuck on something, the hose came loose and square on my nuts.

I've done that. 


I'm amazed at how hose takes on a life of it's own and when you're tired and doing the last few jobs, it seems to know and then gets caught on everything going.

You free it from one obstruction only for it to get instantly caught on the next.

It's like a printer which seems to know when you're in a hurry to print something and for some unknown reason, it won't print.

Raises hand ... and then you trip over the "trip hazard" sign!

Someone on here put up a photo of his hose wrapped round a road sign I think  and put the caption "How the .... ?"

 

[Klean07]

I feel like a singer on the stage with a microphone lead sometimes with my hose.

[EandM]

Always start at the end and work back and try to come back with loops to reduce the length of the hose.
Citing of the vehicle is really important too.
If I can park on the end of a house it can be easier, depending on obstacles,  to clean down one side then back up and down the other so I'm only using half as much hose.
Any time the hose gets caught I think about how long it would have taken to get the ladders off and back again, how risky a particular window was, how much damage reaching over the rose bushes would have done me and how long I'd have been climbing on the roof.

[Crystal-clear]

that hose will be part of your life when you first start walking back and to the van,or back to the tree where the hose is stuck is annoying but later it becomes normal.

who hates these



not the plant obviously, the stupid edgeing

[Klean07]

I hate them they're a right pain!!!

[Cliff perkins]

Lol im glad that every1 else feels my pain,i get tangled daily without fail.its not my microbore hose that generally causes the problems but my wfp hose is a right pain in the but,it gets caught on everything from flowers to corner of paving slabs in the bushes on corner of fences just about everything lol,if there was some sort of retractable pully on the bottom of the pole that wound up all the wfp thin hose when its not extended it would tidy up all the loose hose.if its not caught on sumthing its getting tangled around the microbore hose ,
Arrrrrrrrggggghhhhhhh
Lol
Happy new year peeps
