Lawn Garden Sprinkler Irrigation: How Does it Work?

Lawn pop-up sprinklers operate by rising when the system is turned on and falls in place after irrigation. Due to its design, the lawn sprinkler head can water a large area and can be adjusted to increase the area under irrigation.

Pop-up Sprinkler Connection Layout

The pop-up sprinkler installation takes an underground pipe connection to ensure the pipes are secure from damage and leakage. HDPE pipes are laid on trenches approximately 1 ft deep and then connected using appropriate fittings.
Pop-up sprinklers need to be positioned upright and buried to the neck so that the top part only appears above the surface. Depending on the spray radius, pop-up sprinklers are spaced 12-25 feet apart.
