LIVE | Lawn irrigation pop ups - Episode 1 design, components and considerations - we lay it out!

Описание: In this episode we get into the nitty gritty on what you need to consider before diving in and buying a whole heap of parts which may not work. As you will see there is a lot more to it so we have compiled an episode to help you out, including laying out a simple circuit and running through its components.

Please note this is intended as guide only, there are many ways to do it even down to the various types of pipe, sprinklers and control devices. Do your research and select what is best for you and fits within your budget. We hope that this does give a brief introduction, however, on what you need to look out for or consider when approaching a project such as this.

We have also added timestamps to help you out so you can skip to various sections of this tutorial. See the list below!

In the next episode we install a zone and show you how it all goes together and what is involved with getting it operational.

For us living on an extremely sandy half acre property, this is a must have as its so hard to retain moisture especially during the summer months. You can see we are still trying to repair and mange the lawn after the extended drought and a number of dry summers which has taken a toll on what was nice new turf!

As this episode is a rundown on the design and components as well as tips and tricks we have broken it into chapters to help you skip to the section you are after:
