got a small fishpond in front yard beside front porch. pump was bad this spring so went got new one cord is 6 feet shorter. My pond is surrounded by river rock over black plastic, I had a black cord and if you kick the small rocks around it almost disapears against the black plastic under the rocks.
You can't find a black outdoor extension cord!!!!! they make red, green, yellow, orange,even blue. not black. so I just got a short indoor black cord and taped the joints, went to 4 different stores. sometimes its the little things that really make you mad............[:(!][:(!]

You don't like red, green, yellow, orange, or blue cords?
Is this a racist post?

Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
make one and you will never have to replace it
that is what I should have done with the old pump cord, it went in trashcan last night and trash went this morning..[V] I am as aggravated
at myself for that as not being able to find a short outdoor cord. oh well the fish don't really care and a few beers from now I won't either.

I saw the 40 ft, but I only need 6ft, I would have had a 30ft coil to try and hide.
and the 40 foot one was the only one on the shelf... they may be online but not INSTORE.

maybe I should have said, you can't find one on the shelf in this town.

I'd rate this one 1.5 out of a possible 10.
Yea, but's it's still an excuse to drink beer, never let an opportunity go to waste.

Add fancy underwater splices from amazon for $7.00,, guessing you would cut the plug off the pump an splice the pump to the extension cord.

Your problem is that you are "going to stores" STOP IT! Shop online! It is 2017, after all!

Agreed. Only time I head to a brick & mortar now is if I want to put my hands on it, or the shipping exceeds local price plus tax.
guys they may have them online but instore intown they did not have them. went to lowes, home depot, wally world and Kmart, no one had a 6=8ft black outdoor cord ON THE SHELF.
maybe I should have said, you can't find one on the shelf in this town.
Lots of things online are not in the stores. Which is why I would rather order it from Amazon and it gets here in a day or two than spend 2 days driving around to all the places looking for it.
make one and you will never have to replace it
Problem is that the cord ends have gotten so pricey you can buy a 50 foot cord for less than it cost to make a 6 footer.
so as normal I do my auction yard sale flea market extension cord searches
my wife bought a box of about 10 maybe 12 various lengths 6 to 30 feet ( about 1/2 were only two wire older ( I will use on the self grounded tools and leaf blower so Ok any way )
some also had new plug ends installed [:D]) she gave 3.00 for the lot at a thrift store but no black ones [:(]

Now days they come in so many realistic colors and shapes that it would take a licensed fishologist to tell the difference!
Just think! No more need for a black extension cord or even any electricity!! That adds up to more BEER money! [:D]
Makes your head spin there is so much variety.
