Yep, Barb, I have. The ones I've had work marginally - my 100' hoses
delight in jumping out of them if given half a chance (i.e. turn back
and pull hose to end of its run and return to find plants adjacent to
hose guides flattened)...Problem is they guide in one direction and
if you veer off of it, so does the blinkin' hose...they love to do
that.
I agree, leave a nice 100 foot section flopping about in a path and
you have really got a watch dog as it will leap out and trip any fool
who tries to walk by it:-)
