My Daddy made sprinklers similarly, just the base was a complete square!! Everything else the the same thing. Small world!! Sure was fun playing with my son ,who ran thru them in the summertime afternoons. I like this design because it's more stable
Here's that part list with two small modifications. 1) I would recommend 1 ¼ pipe because you can use a PVC Pipe cutter to cut it easily and cleanly 2) Pipe Using the measurements from the video (as best I could tell) One 10 foot pipe will give you all cuts with 8 in left over Cuts are 2 x 21 in, 2 x 12 in, 1 x 5 in and 1 x 7 in, the pipe up to the head is 34 in 3) Couplings 1 - 4 way connector, 2 caps, 3 - 90 degree elbows, 1 - Coupling, 4) Bushings 1 - 1 ¼ to ¾ reducer, 1 - ¾ to ½ in reducer 5) Risers 1 - ½ in 6 in, 1-¾ in 6 in Doing it this way allows you to use both screw in and screw on (popup irrigation sprinklers) for all the major sizes.
Thank you so much, I am so tired of those Chinese tripods that are useless, they only work half a summer season and then just throw them away, Tractor supply is charging $75.00 just for one.
A female threaded coupling in place of the cap on one of the legs with a screw in plug wound work on one of the legs to unscrew in the fall and drain the water. And it doesn't matter left or right hand the tape goes on the same. People just hold the tape wrong. Flip it over the next time so it's not unspoiling itself and have better control
That sprinkler looks AWESOME! Thanks for the video!
It really is so great!
Great video! Thanks for posting.
Thank you. For giving us that design. It was wonderful.
That’s so awesome. Great idea for watering a hill.
Love the video and I will definitely be making one or more this year to try. Thanks for the info!!!
Well looks like I've got a fall/winter project. Thanks for the video!

Thanks Mr. Plant Lady! This was a great tutorial. I'll be making a few of these for my garden
I spy a new picnic table, too. That corner of the yard looks fantastic! David has a real future in UA-cam work, I think.
the cutest at the end!
Great job David!!
Thanks for "sprinkling" (I know terrible pun) us with this smart design....cant wait to make one...
Good idea.will put it to work next month.tnx.for sharing
Awesome! Heading to Lowes...
Thank you so much. Will be building this today!!!
Loved this!!!
Fabuloso,excelente video
Great job👍👍👍👍
Thanks for sharing
Here's that part list with two small modifications.
1) I would recommend 1 ¼ pipe because you can use a PVC Pipe cutter to cut it easily and cleanly
2) Pipe
Using the measurements from the video (as best I could tell) One 10 foot pipe will give you all cuts with 8 in left over
Cuts are 2 x 21 in, 2 x 12 in, 1 x 5 in and 1 x 7 in, the pipe up to the head is 34 in
3) Couplings
1 - 4 way connector, 2 caps, 3 - 90 degree elbows, 1 - Coupling,
4) Bushings
1 - 1 ¼ to ¾ reducer, 1 - ¾ to ½ in reducer
5) Risers
1 - ½ in 6 in, 1-¾ in 6 in
Doing it this way allows you to use both screw in and screw on (popup irrigation sprinklers) for all the major sizes.
Awesome!!! Thank you!
Do you have a link to the reducer? I can't find one that's smooth to threaded. Either both ends are smooth or both are threaded.
I found the parts at Menards and Home Depot. @@markkempton4579
If you live in an area with high winds, landscape anchoring stakes can be fitted.
The point of this design is you need to stake it abd it is mobile for moving around the garden.

Exactly! That’s what we used to use! These are awesome! And last forever!
That is a very handy sprinkler. Is there a drawing with measurements to it?
We can make one. Good idea!

Thanks...gonna use it to water clay tennis courts !!!
does filling those pipes actually pressurize them so you get more distance from the sprinkler?
I hadn’t thought of that but yes I think you are right! The reach is really far!
It would be less top heavy if the stand pipe was reduced to 3/4.
would that increase toe pressure also?
So this one Device cost about $50. to make
