How to extend garden tap with hose and tap connector?

snipwhip

Hello, I have a tap over my newly built free standing deck and I'm hoping to divert the hose connection of the tap to a spot about a meter away. 

My idea is that I'll use a shortened rubber hose, run it under the deck using  two flexi hose connectors,  one to the tap and the other to a multi tap adaptor and connect my main garden hose to that adaptor. The adaptor will then be secured to the house wall or a post at the edge of the deck. 

That way to use the hose,  I will need to switch the main tap on first so functionally it's like having a retractable hose reel. 

Is there any issue with what I'm proposing to do? I'm aware there's some things that only plumbers can do but this seems like a simple workaround instead of physically moving the tap. 

Thanks

Hi @snipwhip,

Here is my setup.

For you I am suggesting:

Clamp the brass manifold on a fence paling (or similar) cut to size.

Screw a brass sprinkler adaptor into the top which will provide the hose connection.

Secure on brick wall with wall plugs.

Cheers
