Flexzilla 5/8-inch × 100-foot garden hose
Choose 100 feet of the same 5/8-inch standard-hose family for the longer route.
Read our takeA 50-foot standard garden hose with a 5/8-inch inside diameter and hybrid-polymer construction.
Fifty feet is the sensible Flexzilla choice when it serves the whole regular watering route.
If 50 feet reaches the farthest regular watering point around corners and beds, the longer Flexzilla adds length you will handle even on short jobs. I would choose this size for a route it comfortably serves and give it a clear place to coil or reel afterward.
The known details are a 5/8-inch inside diameter, hybrid-polymer construction, and garden-hose-thread connections. Put those beside the tap, watering tool, and reel requirements. A reel capacity tied to another diameter or hose type should not be assumed equivalent.
Use the actual route around planted areas when judging reach.
Store the full length using the hose and reel care guidance.
