Design: these cans feature the classic two handle system; a long straight cross-stay links the spout to the neck and keeps the can rigid while allowing easy lifting and carrying, while the handle at the back of the body enables steady, gradual tipping. They were originally all long-reach in design, but more recently we’ve offered close-reach spouts but with all the integrity of a Haws balanced design. This allows far more control over the rate and angle of pour, a feature particularly important for watering young plants and seedlings. The long spout attached to the bottom of the body means far easier tipping and makes reaching plants less awkward. The cans are long and low in profile, which provides good handling and stability, even when empty. 

Good for: every kind of watering, but particularly useful for precision tasks such as watering small pots and trays of delicate seedlings elevated on greenhouse benches where control of watering is important. The long spout provides excellent reach and maintains good, even flow making these cans perfect for watering groups of patio containers. Haws watering cans are available with roses suited to all gardening tasks, indoors and out, making them highly versatile. Refilling is easy as the two handles do not get in the way.

Drawbacks: they can take up a little more space when storing than a traditional can; watering a large pot or specimen plant can take slightly longer as water flow from the can is generally slower via the long, slender spout.
