Meet the most durable hose guide built to protect your landscaping and your hose.
The ELEY Hose Guide uses smooth roller-ball guidance to help garden hoses and outdoor extension cords glide effortlessly around flower beds, corners, and landscaping while reducing snags, kinks, abrasion, and damage caused by heavy dragging.
The removable shepherd’s hook design swivels freely within the ground stake, allowing the hose guide to rotate and capture the hose from virtually any direction.
It also makes it easy to reposition the guide between installed ground stakes wherever hose protection is needed most.
When the guide is removed, the low-profile ground tube remains nearly flush with the ground to help minimize mowing interference and reduce tripping hazards.
Unlike plastic hose guides that crack, bend, or pull loose over time, ELEY’s commercial-grade 304 stainless steel construction is built for years of dependable outdoor use and is backed by ELEY’s 10-year warranty.
See the ELEY Hose Guide in action as it smoothly routes and captures garden hoses and even outdoor extension cords around landscaping, corners, and obstacles from virtually any direction.

There is always the possibility of foreign material entering the ground tube stake when it is not in use; however, we have never received a customer complaint about it.
The tip of the stake has a hole for moisture to drain, and it would take quite a bit of material to "pile up" in the tube to make the guide inoperative.
If you ever want to pull the stake out of the ground to clean it, you could use a claw hammer to get under the top flange of the stake to help lift it out of the ground.
We don't offer any type of plug for the opening; however, one could likely easily be obtained by using a cork. The opening diameter is 1/2 inch. Local hardware or home centers likely carry such items, which are usually available in either cork or rubber material.
The diameter of the hole in the stainless-steel tube, in which the solid stainless-steel rod of the guide slides into, is 0.55 inches, or 14mm.
The outside of the tube is 18mm (+/-0.3mm), so it is 0.7 inches to 0.72 inches. For installation into concrete, use a 3/4-inch masonry bit to drill a hole at least 13 inches deep as the tube is 12-3/4 inches long. Then, we suggest adding some silicone caulk to the outside of the tube, but make sure the hole in the bottom tip of the tube stays clear so water can drain. The silicone caulk will help keep the tube from lifting out.
It is AISI 304 stainless steel.

"This is just what i needed to help me keep my hoses where i want them and out of my shrubs and perennial. As all things Eley it is well thought out, impeccably built, and sturdier than anything else available by far. Just another greay tool."
"Great design and build quality! It's convenient to be able to leave the stake (holder) in the ground permanently and remove the guide to avoid a trip hazard. They seem spendy on the website but when you have one in your hands then you realize why. Well worth it. You never have to worry about a plastic version breaking under stress. Eley's hoses are indeed beefy and made to last. It's no surprise that these hose guides are up to the task. Well done!"
"Nice touch being able to pull the guide out of the ground spike so Im able to mow or trim where they are mounted."
"Having the rolling balls on top of the shepherd hook indicates the the hose can be pulled upwards when going thru it, but the hook just pulls out of the base."
"This makes life sooo much easier negotiating the hose away from flower bed - very very convenient"
"best solution I have for keeping hose from dragging against corner of the hose."
"Love them. Easy to install and easy to use. Look great."
"Well made great idea"
"Durable quality with an innovative design that allows the guide to be installed outside the bed and the above ground portion to be removed for lawn maintenance."
"East to use and durable"
