Most garden hoses come in multiple lengths, ranging from 25 feet to 100 feet or more. An appropriate length for most homes is 50 feet, and it's the length we stuck to for these tests. But you might want something longer depending on the size and layout of your yard, garden or whatever other area you're planning to use it in. If your garden hose is too long, it could lower the water pressure you'll get out of it, so try to avoid getting a hose that's longer than necessary.
