Hose-end sprinklers are devices attached to the end of a garden hose, used for watering lawns, gardens, or plants. They come in a variety of designs and styles, allowing you to adjust the water flow, pattern, and range for efficient irrigation. Some common types of hose-end sprinklers include:

Oscillating Sprinklers: These spray water back and forth in a rectangular or square pattern. They are good for covering large, flat areas evenly.

Impact (or Pulsating) Sprinklers: These create a rotating, pulsating spray, which can cover a circular or semi-circular area. They are useful for watering large lawns.

Stationary Sprinklers: These have a fixed spray pattern and are best for smaller areas or gardens.

Rotary Sprinklers: These use spinning arms to distribute water in a circular or semi-circular pattern.

Traveling Sprinklers: These move along the hose path on their own, watering as they go, ideal for covering long, narrow spaces.

Each type offers different advantages based on garden size and shape, water pressure, and specific watering needs.
