Sprinkler System
Sprinkler System?
I wiuld like to add a sprinkler system to my yard. Right now, hiring a contractor is not an option from budget standpoint. So, here are my choices. If you have any experience with them, let me know. I have about 3/4 acre to manage.
1. Keep dragging hoses
2. Rig up some type of more efficient hose – maybe a pvc pipe attachment with 2 sprinklers on it that I attach to the garden hose. I would have to make this but it might cut down on the numbers of times I have to reposition the sprinkler.
3. I’ve seen those new systems that are like an underground hose with sprinklers attached. You just create a shallow ‘trench’ with your shovel, lay in the hose with the sprinklers attached and hook up the hose to the facuet.
4. Do a whole underground system myself with pipes and timers, etc.
With 3/4 acre, you have a large yard to manage and I would be inclined to go with the underground system if it is done correctly. You need to determine how much water your yard needs, choose and space the sprinklers accordingly. Check with your local authorities concerning digging. Some municipalities require that the utility companies come out and mark the location of underground services before you dig in your yard. Loews, Home Depot or Ace Hardware can help you get started on planning your system. Also, see who has what kind of spare parts support for future repairs when you decide what brand of sprinkler you want. If you can get the main part of the system laid out and installed, any plumbing contractor can do the final hookup to the house.
