Fittings For A 1” Diameter Garden Hose

[Tobermory]

Hello.
I have some flexible hose with an internal diameter of 1” (25mm) and I am hoping to make a garden hosepipe from this. However, I am struggling to find a suitable coupling to connect the pipe to my 1/2" garden tap. And something suitable for providing a spray nozzle at the other end. I would be quite happy to use a couple of 1” to 1/2" converters on each end of the pipe to allow standard 1/2" fittings to be attached, if such adaptors exist. Can anyone suggest where I could obtain suitable fittings for the ends of this 1” pipe, or am I attempting to do something too awkward?

is it old fire-hose?

It certainly has a similar profile to a fire hose. Looks quite new and might be PVC with some form of reinforcement. The piece I have is around 30m in length, which is why it would make a great hosepipe for use in the garden here.
