expandable hose

Growing garden line

An expandable hose is a lightweight garden hose that stretches when water pressure fills it and contracts when empty.

The accordion-like design makes storage compact, though the thin material tends to be less durable than traditional rubber hoses: The expandable hose tripled in length when I turned on the faucet.
