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.

"Great for sandy soil. The long spikes keep these anchored and fully functional with every use. Smooth operation and very sturdy. For people who want their tools to work for them. A tiny con would be that my new puppy loved pulling them out of the anchor spikes and chewing on them. He has since tired of this and his big boy teeth have arrived. This is a testament to the strength and durability of the guides. They ere mot damaged by his assaults in the least"
"Lost a 120 year old tree. That led to $10k+ in new plants and trees. These are great for getting around rock walls and established beds. After several attempts, I found that corners and the middle of pathways were the best locations. Bought six for two hoses on both sides of a Victorian house."
"I was leery about buying this due to the price. . . but it works beautifully. I had to drive the stainless "spike" into hard ground and I wondered if the top flange would survive the pounding but it did, no problem. Actually makes pulling the hose where I need it much more convenient. Glad I purchased it."
"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."
"Quality stake and simply design have turned my one hardscape corner from a destroyer of hoses into something we don't think about unless it catches the nozzle on wind up."
"well designed gadget for keeping your hose from getting caught where it shouldnt"
"These are not “run-of-the-mill” waterhose sprayers. The weight speaks to a quality that will surely endure for generations."
"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!"
"A solid product making watering much easier"
"Nice touch being able to pull the guide out of the ground spike so Im able to mow or trim where they are mounted."
