Winter storage is important if you want to make garden pipes durable. Here are some steps on how to store garden hoses correctly in winter:
1. Drain the garden hose: let the water in the garden hose flow out as much as possible. If there is still water in the hose, it will freeze and expand when the temperature is particularly low in winter. This can cause hoses to break and leak. Place one end of the hose on the ground and place the hose on your shoulder to drain the garden hose.
2. Check whether the water pipe is damaged: first check whether the accessories at the end of the water pipe are damaged, and then check whether the water pipe itself has cracks. If there are any cracks, cut the parts from the hose and replace them with a hose repair machine.
3. Garden water pipes stored indoors: storing garden water pipes indoors will help to prolong their service life. The garage (preferably a warm place) is a good place to store hoses. Make sure all accessories are organized and stored next to the garden hose. You will be happy when you need them in the coming spring!
