I was excited to find the tube sprinkler hose as I have been looking for one "forever." I purchased the 30 foot and the 100 foot in order to place at 2 locations. I had in mind that this would be exactly like our old sprinkler hose - medium weight hose material with the tubes and a flat side with white stripe and easily spotted holes. It's not and I was disappointed. It feels thin and I had to pull it apart as I got it out of the package and tried to stretch it out (I thought then it was going to tear on me). If the holes weren't "marked" with teen weeny brown specks (about the size of a chigger or "no-see-um"), you wouldn't know which side was which until you had the water on. When it is full with water flowing through it, the material really feels like a water balloon that will pop if it catches on anything. I've pulled on it to move it and was scared it was going to tear; I ended up moving it foot by foot (getting wet in the process) because it stretches like a rubber band/balloon and looks/feels like it will rip any minute. I'm not sure if it will last long. All of that said, I am still well pleased with the product. I have them stretched in my two flower beds and they water beautifully. The spray is just like the old ones and in that I am delighted. I would recommend the product and we'll see how well it lasts.
