Lawn Sprinkler Systems Shreveport - Spraying Sides Of Your House Or Over A Fence With Shreveport Lawn Sprinkler

Sprinklers direct the water, valves control the water flow, and the controller controls the system. The controller is usually in a box mounted on an exterior or interior wall.

USA, AL (prHWY.com) October 31, 2012 - LA, Oct 31, 2012 - Sprinklers direct the water, valves control the water flow, and the controller controls the system. The controller is usually in a box mounted on an exterior or interior wall.

Designing a sprinkler system layout requires a pen, a standard size piece of graph paper, a compass for accuracy, a tape measure with 50 plus feet of reach, a can of spray paint, lots of little marking flags, a high end gauge for water pressure measurement and a five-gallon container of some kind.

Lawn Sprinkler Systems Shreveport - With some measuring and drawing, you can soon estimate the types and number of sprinklers and valves you will need and the size and amount of PVC pipe your system will require. Measure the boundary lines of your property first and draw them. Then measure the parameter of your house and the distance of each side from the boundary lines. Then sketch the parameter of the house and do the same for any additional structures.

Next measure and draw any concrete such as driveways and sidewalks, then decks and fences, trees, shrubs and gardens. Draw the location of your water meter or water source.

Sprinkler System Repair Shreveport - Sprinkler heads have varying radius sprays. 12' is common for residential applications. Sprinklers should be placed distances equal to the radius, in this case 12' apart. Draw a small S where you will place each sprinkler head. Sprinkler heads can spray in quarter, half, or full circles. As you don't want to be spraying the sides of your house or over a fence, and you do want to keep the watering of concrete to a minimum, clearly specify where you'll need half circle or quarter circle coverage areas for the sprinklers. Place an "HS" for half circle sprinklers and a "QS" where quarter spray sprinklers will be located. If the distances are too far apart between sprinklers, areas will be missed altogether.

Sprinkler heads work in zones from a common valve. You can design your system with zones for the type of watering required in a specific area depending on the vegetation there, sun exposure, and elevation. You can also set certain sprinkler areas to turn on and off according to a program with the controller box. Each zone must be configured to stay within the limits of your water capacity depending on the types of sprinkler heads you use and your water supply.
