Holding my hands up!

I don't understand this at all running the hose across estate roads where people are doing under 15mph there shouldn't be an issue,

unless you are running your hose across main roads, this isn't something I'd take a risk with at all as it only takes one idiot to go too fast and for the hose to jump and wrap around a car wheel

I do exactly this several times a day without issue.
It gets driven over at speeds of 30mph and more, probably.
As long as the hose is lay completely flat, it's fine.
Not had it 'jump up' and wrap around a wheel in 12 years.

I've just ordered a role of 6mm from Daqua.
I really hope I'm not going to be disappointed

That's good going, my thought is if it does happen my hose is attached to £600 reel that would get wrecked and it would be me footing the bill

That's a fair point. I use manual reels, but I suppose my outlet manifold could get ripped out of the side of my van.
Hopefully my streak of good luck will continue.

I think that the hose would rip and hopefully not damage the reel ??

I can also confirm 6mm daqua is very happy to be run over by tractors and lorries for many years without complaint

I would hope so, but seeing as you have multiple reels and vans why don't you test the theory and report back

We have had hoses going across roads since 2003. Ime not going to tempt fate but so far never had an issue with traffic driving over it

This is why I keep a trolley system in the back.
My son can do the houses opposite and no constantly moving the van

I don't have an issue with running a hose across estate roads, but any main roads through a town or village I avoid, I have done it in the past not too far from some traffic lights as parking was only practical on one side of the road, I sold these jobs of years ago, I'd rather err on the side of caution
