Also, make sure you know the locations of buried wires so you can avoid cutting them. You need a trailer to pull it. According to Bob Fragala, attaching the sprinkler heads is not that complicated. You just cut the pipe and make the attachment using special solvent glue. Bob Fragala stresses that the placement and zoning of the sprinkler heads is very important in order to avoid dry spots.
Home owners tend to space the heads too far apart.
To avoid dry spots, you want 100 percent overlap. That is, if a sprinkler head has a watering radius of 15 feet, space the sprinkler heads 15 feet apart, not 30. Another common mistake, Fragala observes, is putting too many heads in a zone. We can make a recommendation on products and help with design. One good thing about installing an irrigation system on the Cape is its sandy soil.
