I've had a few cheap green hoses that start to burst if you leave them on all the time.  Eventually a bulge starts to form near the fittings, and then that bulge turns into a leak.  I don't want to replace hoses every 3-4 weeks, and decided to get something better.  

At Blackhawk Hardware (Tru Value) they have a few hoses with PSI ratings over 400psi.  I thought this would work, but the salesperson told me that this is a running water pressure rating, not a static one.  He said that even their nicest industrial hoses probably would not stand up to being left on constantly with one of those sprayers on the end controlling on/off.  He told me where the fitting meets the hose is a weak point, and most of them give out there.

Does anyone have experience with leaving hoses on all the time with a sprayer on the end?  Are there hoses made for this purpose?  I thought about a rigid solution with either PVC or PEX, but I'd likely bring it in during the winter, or dig it 12-18" deep.

I could always call a plumber to put a a new hose bib in the back where I want the water, but this is still a compromise...in that it's not constantly on-demand.  This would cost me a few hundred dollars though.

We leave ours on a lot at home with no leaks whatsoever.  Its one of the orange colored Goodyear hoses - haven't had a problem doing it that way for quite a few years

Somehow I doubt that...(Wisconsin)

I leave mine on except when it might freeze ( not that offten).  Black hoses from Sam's Club on a metal hose reel.  2 hoses and a sprayer.  No bulges or leaks.  It even frooze last winter.

Sears has some great hoses especilly there black ones with a lifetime  guarantee.

Try a hydraulic shop. The local shop here sells water noses that they make. It's a matter of using high quality parts and hose that will stand up to your use and they should be able to supply what you need or make a suitable recommendation.

automotive heater hose make the best garden hoses I have found

Use a washer hot water hoze. They have ones guaranteed for a decade. In my own hobbie of moving water around the house, I have found: Go industrial. If you don't you will come home to your front door being a small waterfall.

Gatorhyde - looks sort of like green hose, but is drinking water safe, which green hoses are not. Guaranteed for life.

Holds up to anything, and they sell a 3/4" ID hose, where consumer hoses are usually either 1/2" or 5/8" ID. The flow rate difference can be significant depending on your application.

I am just a very satisfied customer. Can buy direct from them at  www.factorydirecthose.com

edited to add: That link is 3/4" x 75 feet, just one sample. You can get any major diameter and all kinds of lengths.

Gilmour 8-Ply Flexogen Hose

Made in USA. They can be a little heavy, hard to move especially under pressure, and not terribly flexible, but it's a damn fine hose.

ETA:
The post about hydraulic hose might not be a bad idea, but you'd need an adaptor to make it thread on the hose bib. That might be a weak spot despite all other parts/fittings holding up.
