Know before you buy
Each order includes a set of four individual Frog Prince hose guides.
While the guides are finished with a protective coating, cast iron is a natural metal that may develop a rustic patina when exposed to the elements over long periods. This weathering is often considered part of the charm for garden decor.
The stakes should be inserted deep enough into the soil to ensure the base of the frog figure sits firmly against the ground. This provides the necessary stability to withstand the tension of a pulled garden hose.
Because the stakes are made of solid cast iron, they are quite durable, but they may be difficult to insert into compacted or rocky soil. We recommend softening the ground with water before installation to prevent bending or damaging the stake.
Yes, the design is versatile enough to accommodate standard garden hoses. The curved shape of the guide allows the hose to glide smoothly around corners without catching on your plants.
