    Hi

    We are planning to build a garden pond but due to the lockdown it's only coming together slowly. Have sourced almost everything but we just can't find anywhere that stocks 2" flexi hose for the pump/water (the outlet on the pump is 2" in diameter). Looking for around 40/50 feet of it. Has anyone any idea where I might get this? We are in Swords but could obviously order online if anyone knows of a stockist?

    Thanks in advance

    Haven't even got that far yet! Have the rocks (boulders), liner, pumps and ideas but still need to get UV filter, flexi hose, lights etc.. Hopefully next week when the DIY/garden shops are open we'll be good to go!

    Dont forget about your pump head height when planning as it can annihilate the flow to your waterfall.
    Especially if your hose is long!
