OSW GARDEN
Efficient and convenient hose for gardening
Advantages
- Dimensional stability due to woven monofilament yarn, which makes the hose– resistant to kinking and twisting
- extremely high pressure resistance due to strong fabric construction
- very low weight for easier handling
- very good kink/bending radius for high flexibility
- high-quality EPDM-rubberlining is extremly resistant to aging, ozone and UV radiation
- environmentally friendly – EPDM is recyclable, free from harmful additives
- cold resistance: down to – 40 °C / heat resistance: up to + 100 °C (for water)
- innovative and modern design (haptic effect)
Construction
-
Inside: high-quality, very light synthetic rubber on the basis of EPDM
-
Outside: jacket of 100 % high tenacity synthetic polyester yarn with specially woven monofilament threads in the weft, circular-woven twill weave, warp and weft threads multiple twisteds

Product comparison: OSW GARDEN and PVC garden hose
| Property | OSW GARDEN (EPDM & Polyester) | Conventional PVC Garden Hoses |
|---|---|---|
| Inner Layer Material | EPDM – extremely weather-resistant, UV-resistant, and able to withstand high temperatures and strong temperature fluctuations. Unlike PVC, EPDM is more durable and recyclable, offering a clear advantage in terms of sustainability and environmental friendliness. | PVC – an inexpensive, flexible plastic, but often softened with plasticizers that are less environmentally friendly and potentially harmful to health. PVC tends to become brittle and harden over time, especially when exposed to intense sunlight and extreme temperatures. |
| Outer Layer Material | Polyester Fabric – extremely robust and durable, making OSW GARDEN ideal for heavy use and long-term applications. The carefully engineered fabric structure provides burst strength more than a multiple of a PVC hose. The modern design with green and blue fabric also gives the hose an attractive, professional appearance. | PVC Reinforced with Fabric – offers stability but is less weather-resistant, prone to embrittlement from cold and sunlight, less abrasion-resistant, and difficult to recycle. The outer material is really heavy in comparison to the OSW Garden. |
| Couplings – also available | Nickel-Plated Brass – stronger and significantly more durable than plastic, featuring an innovative quick-connect system and improved handling for easy use. | Plastic Couplings – standard connection, but prone to wear and breakage compared to high-quality materials. |
| Weather Resistance | Very Good – EPDM and polyester are highly weather-resistant and UV-resistant, keeping OSW GARDEN durable even under extreme weather conditions. | Satisfactory – PVC has only limited UV resistance and becomes brittle after prolonged exposure to sunlight and cold. |
| Flexibility | High Flexible and Ultra Lightweight – thanks to its EPDM inner layer and polyester fabric, OSW GARDEN remains supple and easy to handle, even in cold weather or with intensive use. | Limited Flexibility – somewhat heavier and tends to become stiff and less flexible in cold or extreme temperatures. |
| Burst Pressure Resistance | Very High – the OSW GARDEN hose outperforms the burst pressure of PVC hoses many times over. It withstands high pressure without issues, making it ideal for professional applications and gardening experts. | Good – PVC hoses generally provide stable performance but cannot withstand as high pressures as OSW GARDEN. That reason makes the OSW Garden more reliable. |
| Temperature Resistance | Excellent – EPDM and polyester yarn are resistant to temperature fluctuations, remain flexible, and withstand strong heat and cold exposure. | Weak – PVC quickly becomes stiff and brittle in cold conditions, making handling difficult and reducing durability; heat can release plasticizers and shorten lifespan. |
| Environmental Friendliness | More Eco-Friendly – EPDM is recyclable, free of harmful additives, and more environmentally compatible. Together with the long-lasting brass couplings, OSW GARDEN helps reduce waste and resource consumption sustainably. | Limited – PVC often contains plasticizers and is difficult to recycle, increasing environmental impact. PVC production is also less eco-friendly. |
| Ergonomics and Handling | Ergonomic Design – lighter, more flexible, and easier to use with one-hand quick-connect couplings. Comfortable to handle, even during intensive and prolonged use. | Standard – PVC hoses are heavier and stiffer, making watering less comfortable, especially with longer hoses. |
| Design | Innovative and Modern Design – the green and blue polyester fabric gives OSW GARDEN an appealing look that combines elegance with functionality. Ideal for style-conscious gardening professionals. | Functional – often simple construction and typical PVC design, focused on function rather than aesthetics. |
| Target Group | For hobby gardeners and professionals who value quality and durability. OSW GARDEN is ideal for intensive use and demanding irrigation projects. | Mainly for hobby gardeners and occasional garden work. |
| Available Lengths | Custom Lengths from 15 to 60 meters; special sizes available on request to meet different irrigation needs. | Standard lengths for simple garden applications. |
