I bought some 3/4" and 1/2" black polyethylene "mainline" hose for drip irrigation. It is really stiff, but I ran it around my house where it won't be in the way. I thi k that, except for lawn mowers and UV, they last forever.
Then I put in compression Tees with a hose thread ANYWHERE I want a hose spigot. To each of those, I attached a cheap two-valve Tee. Usually I attach one short hose section right where I want it. Then I don't have to drag it around more than a very short distance.
Sometimes the extra valve just sits there, but often I have a short run of 1/2" mainline dangling off it.
