Run a garden hose under your fence below the first board. Go 50 feet and drop a head at each joint. That's what I did so I don't have to move sprinklers anymore. Put 3 on a zone and add a timer. Only trenching will be at the house to the fence. Use an edging shovel and make a slot. Easy to dig and it doesn't have to be deep. If the hose ever goes bad you can pull it up. The freezing doesn't damage the hose. That's how we do it at "Ratino's Small Engine & Landscaping." 🐀🐾
Thank you for posting and sharing the link. I was not aware of this product, but it is exactly what I needed.
I have been thinking about getting an in ground sprinkler system for several years now and was a bit hesitant in doing so, but now I finally decided to make that move after watching this video just what I wanted - Thanks!
This video is not an "in-ground" sprinkler system.
I've been using these for 3-4 years now and have about 5 total across my yard. Even had my neighbor ask where I got them from and he ordered his last year and loves them. Another thing to get is the quick connect with the "air pump" attachment to push any water out of the cylinder to winterize. Trick: there's a small screw on top of the canister towards the sprayer to change the width and height of the water coming out; very handy for creating a mist and for slopes in the yard.
Ah so with these types will they water the patch directly Infront of the sprinkler? As it looks to arc over it, or do you need another facing that patch? Thanks
David Kearin It depends on the distance of the patch from the sprinkler. I think using the trick I mention to create a mist will give the seed and soil the moisture needed for any growth.
Normally you’d have another over lap it but it waters very close to it.
Do you use one spout for all 5? How is water pressure when you divert to more than one sprinkler?
@@chiragpatel-rb5ff that's what I need to know. I am just not sure I will get the pressure I need using more than one on the line.
I have these! I just wanted to see your video bc when I bought these 2 years ago, I could find any video reviews. They work great, go out, connect and done.
I love them! I realize messing with setting up a sprinkler every time you move it isn't that big of a deal, however, these like you stated are quick and easy and already setup once in the ground. Plus it'll help insure proper and consistent water coverage.
Great video. I was looking for an irrigation system that would work well with out breaking the bank. Thanks again!!!
Thank you. Yeah these are a great addition to my watering my yard.
I'm gonna do something like that in my garden area, where I have above ground white PVC that cracks every year.
I have one 3 years ago. No complains!!! Very good quality!!
You just made my day. I was pretty much ready to dig trenches. Thank you very Much
Thanks for making this video. I have been looking for a solution like this and was thinking of making my own but this product will save a ton of time for me. Also, I have that same B-Hyve system and those are great! Highly recommend.
This cool. Might purchase some of these.
I like how You explained the instructions. I was about to hire someone to do it. I'll do myself. Thanks!
I just love when people throw out perfectly good stuff they could have easily given away at local thrift store or at least put out at the curb for others to see.
I didn’t really throw it out.
@@DIYReid Well that's good. Nothing like artificial drama ("reality") and the reason why I dropped cable.
Just for effect. 😂
I did give my Gilmore stuff to my neighbor for his garden. That's all he waters. His yard is full of bare spots. I have the greenest lawn on the street by the way.
I like this candid intro!
wow thats prob the best DIY Sprinkler Ive seen
Best video I EVER SEEN... EXPLAINING EVERYTHING TO THE POINT..I HAVE BEEN LOOKING ON HOW TO WATER MY LAWN.. SINCE THIS IS MY FIRST TIME. I DIDN'T WATER MY LAWN OTHER THAN RAIN FALLING AND YOU CAN TELL VERY QUICKLY HOW THE LAWN GOES DORMANT....RESPECT... AND JUST SUBSCRIBE TO YOUR CHANNEL
Thanks for the support
going to get one. thx
Khuellllll! Thanks!
I like your videos! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Omg this is awsome I want this set up !!!!
Never seen these before and first time to see your video. I will look into it. I already use above ground but have spike heads and they stay put. Just run the hose long the house/fence and in one spot I buried it. I might try putting these in "permanently" and just run hose to each pair like I do not with above ground units. I will check out more of your videos. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
I bought this online today....thank you for sharing! I wish I found these quick-snap sprinklers sooner. I can burry the hose underground in my yard to have a more concealed look ;)
Thank you!
How was ur water pressure using more than one at a time?
Why are you restating the description? Everyone saw the video.
Shill
Thanks for the video! 👍
You’re welcome
Awesome innovation bro no need for someone else.
Very interesting love it
You can make these yourself but with better popups, Rainbird/hunter. But also if you really want popups just lay the line. It doesnt take the lawn long to recover.
This. I've never understood why you would go to the trouble of pop-ups and still have to drag a hose around to run them.
Exactly what I've been looking for!!! I spend too much time watering by hand.
I just subscribed sr, I want to keep checking your videos about lawn irrigation. Thanks
Just trench a line and install regular sprinkler heads. It is so easy to do. If you don't want to use solenoids wired to a control panel just send them to one quick connect with 4 or 5 on that line. You can have multiple heads and lines and just hook the hose to the main inlets around your yard. Wiring to a control panel via solenoids would also be easy for your yard because it is all open grass, so don't be scared to go the fully automatic route if you choose.
Would there be enough water pressure with that method? I like the idea of what you recommended but I'm curious if water pressure would become an issue?
Two is about max
I have six on a line where my underground irrigation doesn't reach. I use rainbird half circle rotary. If you go with a larger head like the 3000 then 4 on a line would work.
Or do what I do and that is digging trenches and connecting the sprinkler zones to a hose port timer
Hi awesome video thank you I was thinking about either getting irrigation system done or trying to do it myself but after seeing this video I think this might be better I just had a question about the actual sprinkler head. I see how far I can go in the video but is there a way to change the spray pattern or shorten the distance?
I subbed because I want to see your entire set up. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for.
Thanks for the sub! I have many videos similar coming soon.
Yes
You had me at the first 9 seconds of this video.
I sometimes have good ideas.
thanks for the video...just bought these and will be installing this weekend. Is the Left Stop adjustable or is that always a fixed location where the big arrow and 360 is? I ask because was hoping to get the hose connection in a different location...I know it swivels but wanted it in a different spot...not a big deal I guess but was wondering...Also could you put alittle stone in the bottom of the hole or not recommended?...Thanks for the help.
Look pretty cool.. Do you have anything for the grass next to the street?
this is cool
your video was a big help for me. thank you
Glad I could help!
Those seem cool, but I’d take that patternmaster out of the trash. It’s way better especially for custom shapes. I can use 2
Of them to water my entire front lawn. The key is to buy 2 of them and learn where u have to place them to get the best coverage. With these In ground sprinklers I’d need atleast 4 since there isn’t a way to customize the distances of the water
You can customize the spray distance. Just not like the Gilmour. Then again there aren’t very many that can.
Wish we had these in New Zealand. Just gonna buy some parts and make my own lol
Yeah looks easy to make from the parts bin at the DIY center. 1/2 swing pipe, your chosen sprinkler body and head, and a 1/2 NPT to garden hose thread adapter is all you need.

Good information. You might consider gifting the old sprinklers to those that are less fortunate than yourself, or donating to Good Will. Our landfills are full enough.🤔
I kept them. I was just making a video and trying to make it somewhat entertaining. 😂
Check the Orbit Traveling Sprinkler for a single sprinkles for the whole yard.
I have a Nelson. They are nice.
To drill under a concrete path dig a hole each side and get a long enough piece of pvc pipe about 1.5 inches on diameter and cut it sharp in an angle. Twist the pipe through the ground under the concrete and remove soil inside it periodical. It will drill easily through most soils
Dig a hole on both sides of the concrete use a piece of PVC pipe 3/4 or 1 in with a hose and adapter glue hosen adapter to the PVC pipe attach your garden hose and turn the water on all the way put slight pressure on the pipe it will go right through
Great vid but which WiFi sprinkler timer do you use.
Cabe you adjust how far de water goes? I have small área with Grass, its about 10 feet by 8 feet.
I subbed. Good video. My lawn has an irrigation system but I'm too cheap and hate paying for water. Plus it has shade areas that don't require water.
Need to set up something like the single head in your video.
Thanks for the support.
You could always just cut down the time on the zones in the shade, or even just take all the time off of it. Honestly you could just just cut down the time on every zone you have and if you have a rain sensor hooked up you really shouldn't be paying too much
@@aydenholmes2766 thanks, yes, I did the first year or two but then I had to pay $50 no matter what to blow out the lines before winter. Now I just mow tall and use a sprinkler in two spots that get a lot of sun.
That's fair, how many zones do you have?
I'm gonna guess 4 at the most?
Very detail demonstration. Thank you.
Amazing! You installed all the prinklers but no automatic system.
It runs on a timer.
My neighbor just installed a Rain Bird 32ETI system. Just saw it in action today and it works great for the two heads he has in his backyard. Full coverage for about 3,000 SF. He has more on the side of his house (misters) and another unit for the front. Sure, there are trenches that needs to be dug for the connection hose, but you never have to go out to move your hose from one head to another so I see that one-time labor as an overall time saver for the number of times you have to move the hose from head to head. Also, I'm just not fan of having that connector sitting above ground and being seen all of the time.
Rain Bird also makes a similar hose connect system, LG3HE, that is better in my opinion because the entire unit is below grass level. It's bigger than this, so the hole's a little larger, but no hose connection just sitting at ground level waiting to be hit be a lawn mower or weed eater, or becoming brittle from constant UV exposure.
These are below grass level. I have a difficult time sometimes finding them to hook the hose up. But yes, I’d love to have an underground system but for now these work awesome.
From sprinkler to another sour most on same zone, just use the size hose?
You can put two on one hose.
Do these also get the area closest to the sprinklers?
Thanks for this video, I truly enjoy it. How has the sprinkler been after your first year? Did you empty the water before winter, to dry it out before winter? I apologize from all the questions. I am interested your opinion of the product. I am still looking for the video about the timer. It was great in my search for a sprinkler system for my lawn transformation and easy for me to do myself. I am getting a power seeding in a about 4 to 6 weeks to develop thicker and healthier grass and need it watered 3 times a day. I work from 8 to 5. Hows the timer working out. I have a read a few bad weeks about software complications or the app messing up. I need something that’s easy I think may those people are not technically advanced. Idk what do you think?
Yes I blew the sprinkler out with air.
Made my own and used something like these www.amazon.com/Orbit-Sprinkler-System-Plastic-Drain/dp/B0040QWLHK, did this years ago with no issues
I just bought the 2 sprinkler kit! I was wondering what hoses you used and where you got them from?
I use 3/4” Gilmour hoses like this one - amzn.to/375BXIg
Very strong and durable.
Great video thanks for posting. Quick question... do you move your hose around to each one,
Or do you have multiple hoses hooked to each head?
I set mine up so I can hook up two at a time.
I bought a home in February. It came with an irrigation system but it's not working. That was disclosed.. my 1st month water bill was $32.00 I learned with the right fertilizer you dont need all that water... yes I'm still using the water hose lol
Everything needs water to grow.
I'd kill for a $32 water bill. A good month is $250 for me.
How did you connect your other sprinklers?
great ideo and video. How do you winterize in northern states?
They make nozzles you put on the end to blow air through.
The only difference between this and an inground system is that you didn’t spend one hour on digging a trench for the hose.
I was gonna say he’s taking about 5k in ground system and I’m like dude it isn’t that much if you do it yourself
I intend to buy two of these. What capacity (solar) pump would one need to get the best performance from two of these simultaneously? My city water pressure is too low so I want to use borehole for a wider even spread
I have used a transfer pump from Harbor Freight for irrigation before. Only problem, you can't use a timer. It can only run while the water is running. The pump would burn up otherwise. You can use a large trashcan full of water and put it on a timer. Caution, the can can empty quickly.
I live in Minnesota so what would you do come winter time? Or leave them in the ground?
Before it gets too cold you would just make sure all the water is flushed out of it. It’ll be fine in the ground during cold winters.
Any concern when mowing? Seems like leaving the connector accessible might get it clipped. Especially in my uneven bumpy yard.
With a push mower you’re good. Heavy riding mower I would just be aware of where they are. Should be fine but if you can avoid them.
I run my heads along the fence line so they can't be hit. I use the sled version for center stuff on a separate spigot. The lower yard is the only one I sprinkle.
Hey I watched your other video where you used pvc pipe into a t shape. Can you connect the sprinklers you bought from Amazon onto that dyi?
Sorry. Didn’t realize what you were saying. In theory yes. But you’d be better off connecting rain birds or similar.
Is there any way to tether two together so they run at the same time? I only have one spigot in my front yard. Would prefer to be able to link two of them together if possible as opposed to using a splitter at the spigot and two hoses.
Yes. You can link two together.
How does the level of it work compared to the lawn. I have Bermuda and I cut at about and inch. Will I need to string trim around these??
If the head is even with the ground you should be able to mow over top. Unless you use a reel mower.
@@DIYReid Does't the hose connector stick up higher than the sprinkler head? How do you keep from hitting that part with the lawnmower even if the head is flush with the ground? Or keep it from being buried all the time when you go to connect your hose if it is flush?
It swivels down.
Great video and product. I will try this. How is the quality? Are they still working fine? Any issues? I read the reviews and most are favorable but some people state it broke. Of course, they probably broke the sprinklers themselves.
I’ve had mine in the ground since this video came out two years ago. Worked fine all year last year. Should be fine this year. Build quality is right in line with your in ground sprinklers.
Water back siphonage becareful
Where did you buys those things can you send me a link for those? I like it
Links are in the description.
Ah cool... poor man's sprinkler system. I like it. 😁
just buy a traveling sprinkler, i modified mine to drag along a sprinkler that waters lie in a dome shape. i bought two traveling sprinklers 1 for each side of thevhousr
So do you just have to move the hose around to each sprinkler head since you said you were doing more than one? Or do they all connect somehow?
They send a splitter so I hook two up together in line.
Mark, if putting 2 sprinklers on same zone, what size hose do I use
I’d use 3/4
Orbit sells a system like this but better its a system that's has a complete sprinkler system with timer that comes with 6 to 12 pop ups depending on how many you need and Alls you do is lay them out where you need them dig about 4inches cover them back up and connect one main hose to any outside foset and your good to go works perfect covers entire yard and you don't have to worry about connecting a hose to each thy all wrk on the same one like a regular sustem and it has a timer.
amzn.to/2LqesPO - this one
Does it have different spray patterns? I feel like is just a stream of water?
Yes. They let you change nozzles.
Look up walking sprinkler
Will you need 8 hoses to connect 8 sprinkler heads? If do you wold need to move the hose to each sprinkler.
Yes. Each sprinkler will require a hose providing water.
how much water flow do they need from water supply ? can have whatever you want if theres enough supply
3gpm per head.
@@DIYReid thanks mate will look into it
Do you have backflow preventer system?
Doubtful. This is super dangerous.
Your outdoor hose bibs have anti siphon valves.
DIY Reid - not all of them do; in particular, those that are old on an older house might not have the anti-siphon feature. The “frost free” models that are for sale these days will all have anti siphon.
You might as well use a regular sprinkler because that will freeze over break in the winter unless you blow the water out
That’s why they recommend blowing it out for winter.
What's to stop a delivery person, mailman, etc., from tripping over your hose?
Most people have eyes that they use to see. But a non smart ass answer would be you will want to keep that into consideration. I have yet to have a delivery person trip over a hose and I get deliveries about every day.
@@DIYReid -- I have a concrete step about 3 inches high leading to a short concrete walkway to my front door. You would be surprised how many people have tripped over it. I ended up painting the step bright white. Problem solved. Maybe nobody has tripped over your hose so far, but it doesn't mean it won't happen. Somebody could be carrying some large boxes and are not paying attention to their feet. Hope you have umbrella insurance.
Great option but how do you deal with the water pressure? After three sprinklers in my lawn there little water pressure to cover the areas needed
They recommend 1-2 going at a time.
@@DIYReid wow i appreciate your quick response, unfortunately that option is not going to work for me. Thanks
You’ll be hard pressed to find anything you can hook more than 3 or so sprinkler heads to.
Any way to adjust the stream flow? Or does it only do a streamline spray?
You can shorten it. As far as pattern no.
DIY Reid you can buy nozzles that go on the end and make it different patterns such as a rain pattern or straight stream.
There is not. At least not that I’m aware of.
according to the company website and the video of wife of the inventor
www.quick-snap.com/sprinkler
you are suppose to be able to reach a screw from a slit inside the arrow on top of the sprinkler but the slit is not on any of the 5 that I bought. I had two sprinklers break at the base of the water input stem (there is a warning sign that they are prone to break there) just carrying then from the box to outside to install them so I retrieved one from the trash and cut the rubber back where the arrow is and there is a short screw but it is not long enough to disrupt the stream of water from the nozzle . I think I can rig a longer adjustment screw so I can create more spray and less distance. So far my thinking is that this is a sorry product so I may dump them and try the rain bird brand.
quanto é o kit
Haven’t seen these in Australia, And great video btw but with so many in... why wouldn’t you just lay the pipe and even just zone say 2 or 3 sprinklers to a zone. I know each to there own. Time spent connecting hose to each pop up would be not much different to moving a sprinkler. In no way am I criticising you. Couldn’t care less if you used a watering can. Just you have spent the $$$ on the pop ups but still “ manual watering”
To each their own. Laying pipe under ground disturbs the ground and grass in the area and is a lot more labor and maintenance.
How do you winterize these sprinkler heads?
DIY Reid say you blow out the water to winterize the heads, it rains afterward before the weather actually drop to freezing temperatures, will the heads fill with rain water and you would have to blow water out again before the temp dip?
DIY Reid subscribed and like! Thanks you for your content
Can I bury the hose as well
Yes
That’s my house next door
Hi neighbor! 👋
@@DIYReid Ben says hi. He was checking out your page. :)
Stop by sometime. I have koozies and stickers (merch)
An in-ground system will seem like a bargain if someone (like a postman/delivery person) happens trips on that exposed hose and sues you. 8:48 Do yourself a favour and run the hose along the edge of the grass where it meets the walkway. It won't be that noticeable, and you can leave the hose connected to the sprinkler head for the summer.
Interesting, but still too much compared to others
Okay so you have these sprinkler heads buried in your yard -- but you can only use one of them at a time because you have to go out and drag your garden hose to each one of them and hook it up individually? So, if you have four or five of them installed -- you have to monitor the time that you used each one all during the day and go out and un-hook the water hose and hook it up to each one separately. Unless you have a few garden hoses and hook them up all at the same time.
Can you provide the link to buy them? Thanks

Great video
Thank you for watching.
What kind of grass do you have?
Mix of KBG and TTTF
How do you winterize it?
Air compressor. They do make a fitting for it.
What up Blue Springs and/or Grain Valley! Had to get rid of EWS after they sold to a national brand. Service went to crap. Nice job with the sprinklers though. What type of grass are you growing?
KBG/TTTF mix.
Seems very expensive for a DIY system, especially being that it's still above ground. Can you connect the sprinklers together?
Yes. You can tie two sprinklers together.
Question: how is it possible the lawn mower doesn't chew up the hoses?
You don't leave the hoses out just the device stays in the ground.
How do you connect 2 or more together?
You will need a splitter like this one - amzn.to/3EUbYnq
Any possible way to. Hook 2 sprinklers with one hose? Bury a length of hose? Between 2 sprinklers?
You would technically need to cut into the hose but yeah it’s possible.
I would do a hose to the first one and a hose to the 2nd.
What about the link for the timer ?
amzn.to/2IvTBLC
What water hose do you use ?
Gilmour - amzn.to/2VdyELy
80 P.S.I.? Is the water tower behind the house.?
Most homes have the ability to raise and lower water pressure.
I have public water that delivers over 100PSI at the entry to the house. There is a pressure reducing valve at the meter to drip the pressure into the range that building codes dictate (typically 40 PSI minimum to 80 PSI maximum).
You can buy a water pressure gauge at the big box stores or online for around $10; it will attach to a garden hose faucet fitting so you can measure your actual water pressure.
