Haws England Hockley Heritage Watering Can

At a two-gallon capacity, the can holds approximately 16 pounds of water plus the weight of the steel body. The design features a balanced rear handle and a wooden top grip to help distribute this weight, making it easier to maneuver than a standard single-handle can.

This model comes with a coarse spray rose, which is specifically designed for established garden beds and hardy plants. It is not recommended for delicate seedlings, as the water flow may be too heavy and could damage fragile stems.

Hot-dip galvanization provides a thick, protective zinc coating that prevents the steel from rusting when exposed to water and outdoor elements. This process ensures the can remains durable and structurally sound for many years of regular use.

Yes, the spray rose is removable, allowing you to switch between a gentle, dispersed spray and a direct pour. When not in use, the rose can be stored in the dedicated parking point on the can to prevent it from getting lost.

Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the pressed lattice body is formed under immense pressure to increase the structural rigidity of the steel. This reinforcement makes the can significantly more resistant to dents and deformation compared to smooth-sided metal cans.

While the wooden grip is treated for durability, it is best practice to store the watering can in a shed or greenhouse when not in use. Prolonged exposure to direct rain and sun can eventually weather the wood, so keeping it dry will help maintain its finish and comfort.
