Raindrip R251DT 1/4-Inch Drip Irrigation Supply Tubing, 50-Feet, 1/4-Inch x 50 Feet, for Irrigation Drippers, Drip Emitters, Irrigation Parts, Redwood Polyethylene

A little stiff but the durability and cool color outshine any inconvenience. If you are patient in letting the tubing settle into its new shape you will be happy with the results. I love that the hoses stand out from the plants and substrate so I always know where they are and if they're clogged or not.

I am helping a friend with a container garden at their home in Mexico. I really like this product because the material is soft enough to make it easy to slip over the connectors and drip heads, but strong enough to prevent kinking. I'll take more down on my next trip as other friends are liking this setup (unfortunately, The local home improvement stores do not carry drip irrigation components).

The tubing works very well and brown actually blends in better than black. However, I took away one star because this tubing is VERY stiff even in 90+ degree heat. I have to use garden staples to hold the tubing in place otherwise it turns my drip emitters. Because it is very stiff, it is somewhat difficult to get over the barbs on attachments. Yet once over the barb, you need to cut the tubing off; you will not be able to pull the tubing off the barb.

It worked fine and the color is nice when you are putting it under that color of rock when providing drip the individual plants and shrubs, however, it would be easier to work when adding drippers and various angles (T's, L-shaped, and the drippers) if it was a little bit softer rubber making it more flexible when adding these connectors, etc. I had to hold the end of the tubing in very hot water to soften it up to get drippers on.

Advertised here as vinyl tubing but instead I got the stiffer poly tubing (more of a hassle to install)

this is NOT the real item.this is a forgery.the real item is pliable and really great.this is the cheap stuff in red.don't be fooled!
