How to Install Pop Up Sprinklers in Your Lawn

The process of putting the pile into the lawn was amazing. I spent a few hours digging a trench!!

Hello Stuart, This is a great video. But the key to this isn't about water pressure its about volume of water. The bar pressure will effect the coverage, but the higher the pressure the more water each sprinkler will demand, also high pressure can cause the water to mist rather than form droplets. Unless you want to use a pump and tank solution you can measure the flow rate and calculate the amount of sprinklers that can go a single run of pipe. The use of a timer will effect both the flow and pressure, so once the flow has been measured, our rule of thumb is to use only 2/3 of the measured flow, this will take into account the drop in supply. So for example if your flow is 15 lpm then you should only use 10 lpm worth of sprinklers. We would also consider keeping the different angles separate, due to the rotation arc, if the sprinklers are delivering 5 lpm (which would mean that you could only run 2 sprinklers on a line) and you have the sprinklers on for 2 minutes then a sprinkler at 90deg will deliver twice as much water to its area than those set a 180deg. We would also suggest that making certain that the sprinkler heads are well clear of the lawn, due to lawn mower damage. How did you attach the duel out let timer to the pump? All the best, Simon

I know Im grown bc Im not only watching this but actually enjoying it. 😆

That turf cutter, holy hell what an amazing idea. So stealing that.

Seeing the trial and errors are a great feature. All too often we get 'how to's' but no real understanding on how they got there. Brilliant, pal 💪

Good job that. After years of working in the gas industry I recommend you do an accurate “ as laid” drawing with measurements so you know where the pipes are in the future.

So you're the reason why the weather on Saturday was gorgeous and then you upload this video and we have all the rain we've missed for the last 2 months 😂

Excellent. I would recommend to replace the sprinkler heads with MP rotators which are much less affected by wind and use less water.

The best video for water sprinkler systems I’ve seen so far. Very complete guide regarding to what you should know before choosing to have an automatic watering system. It talks about sprinkler itself, how to dig the hole without damaging the lawn, most importantly the water pressure problem you’d have to face and the drainage of the water pipe for the winter time to not blow up the pipe when it freezes. Even talking about how many sprinklers should be installed in your lawn with a clear drawing to cover the entire garden. Really thorough and entertaining video to watch. Thanks

A very nice set up. Oh, and you were right, it was comical! 😂🤣👍

Water early in the mornings. Never during a sunny day. Nice work, I like your system.

Local landscaper wanted ten of thousands to install a sprinkler system. DIY kits like this will disrupt their industry.

This channel is not just informative, it's also super entertaining!

As soon as your Charlie Chaplin sequence began, I was quick to like and subscribe! 👍

You need to live stream the next time you mow the lawn - that's the only way to prove the lawn mower hasn't cut the tops off.

Wahey this is the video i was waiting for! Thanks for keeping your promise and doing this one😊👍 Really great video and job - it's come out brilliantly! I'm looking to do mine next weekend, albeit without the pressure pump - fingers crossed it will work out! Would be great to see a follow up video once you've had it running for a few weeks (and the wind dies down!)

Hey Stuart, only recently came across your channel but really enjoying the content. You have a really good way of explaining things and the production of your videos is top notch. Keep up the good work mate, all the best.

I've done this in my lawn using a double shower pump from a 1000L IBC tank that collects rainwater. I went all in with technology and added an electronic ball valve and smart switches to work with Amazon Alexa so I can have it set on timers or just ask to water the lawn when required.

Great tips on how to install the line easily !! What a great technique and an elegant solution !!

Thats going to be a cracking lawn.  Very interesting to watch.
