About Spray Lances
Spray lances are essential garden watering accessories designed to extend your reach when watering plants, hanging baskets, and hard-to-access areas. Connecting directly to a standard garden hose, these versatile tools allow gardeners and landscaping professionals to water efficiently without the need for ladders or stretching. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of spray lances from trusted brands including Gardena, Hozelock, Draper, Karcher, and Spear and Jackson.
Available in fixed-length and telescopic designs, spray lances typically feature adjustable spray patterns ranging from gentle mist for delicate seedlings to powerful jets for cleaning patios or reaching elevated planters. Premium models include articulating heads and ergonomic grips for enhanced control and comfort during extended watering sessions.
Applications
Spray lances are ideal for a wide variety of gardening and outdoor maintenance tasks:
- Gardeners and horticulturalists - watering hanging baskets, greenhouse plants, and raised beds
- Landscapers and groundskeepers - maintaining commercial plantings and public gardens
- Nursery professionals - gentle watering of young plants and delicate specimens
- Allotment holders - reaching distant plots without dragging hoses
- Homeowners and DIY enthusiasts - general garden maintenance and patio cleaning
- Window cleaners - rinsing elevated surfaces and conservatory roofs
Choosing The Right Spray Lances
When selecting a spray lance from MyToolShed.co.uk, consider these key factors:
Length and reach: Fixed lances typically range from 60cm to 90cm, whilst telescopic models extend up to 2 metres or more. Consider the height of hanging baskets, greenhouse shelving, or other areas you need to reach regularly.
Spray patterns: Look for lances with adjustable spray settings if you need versatility. Multi-pattern heads offer options from fine mist for seedlings to concentrated jets for cleaning tasks.
Build quality: Metal construction provides greater durability for professional use, whilst quality plastic models offer lighter weight for extended watering sessions. Check for reinforced connectors to prevent leaks.
Compatibility: Most spray lances fit standard UK hose connectors, but verify compatibility with your existing quick-connect fittings if applicable.
Additional features: Articulating heads allow angled watering in tight spaces, whilst ergonomic triggers reduce hand fatigue during prolonged use. Some premium models include flow control mechanisms for precise water management.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a standard and telescopic spray lance?
Standard spray lances have a fixed length, offering robust construction at lower cost. Telescopic models extend and retract, providing variable reach and compact storage, making them ideal when you need flexibility for different watering heights.
Can spray lances be used with pressure washers?
Garden hose spray lances are designed for domestic water pressure only. Pressure washer lances are specifically engineered for high-pressure systems and are not interchangeable with standard garden hose spray lances.
How do I prevent leaks at the connector?
Ensure the hose connector is pushed fully onto the lance inlet and tightened securely. Replace worn washers inside connectors annually, and avoid over-tightening which can damage plastic threads.
