I need a 25' garden hose extension so I don't have to crawl through
the bushes to the faucet on the house. I can find 6'-10' ones and
don't want to string them together. Of course, it has to handle
constant water pressure.

I've seen 25 footers at the big box hardware stores. Buy a fifty
footer and cut it in half, you'll have a spare... or buy a hundred
footer and slice off a 25 foot piece for your use and you'll have a
nice 75 foot hose for all your watering needs. I really don't see a
problem, one can make a garden hose to any length, or perhaps I'm not
understanding what you mean by a "hose extension".

One which can always have water pressure in it, as a second faucet
that is reachable is outside the bushes.

--------------------------------------------------------I've seen many 25'
hoses at both Lowe's and Home Depot.
If none of them will hold the pressure you need, how about a 25' section of
pipe of plastic tubing with hose fitting fastened to both ends?

What is wrong with buying a top quality, high pressure hose at Lowes
or Home Depot? I have been using the same one in the way you
described for years. I drain it in the winter so it does not freeze
and burst.
