We
can design your lawn sprinkler system for you with the following
help from you, Either fax or e-mail a certificate of survey of
your property, which is available from the city if you don't have
one, Otherwise you will need to measure your yard following the
simple steps below.
 Measuring
Your Yard
The
first step to designing your sprinkler system is to measure your
property.
- Step
1. Measure the distance around the outer edge of your lawn otherwise
known as the property line. Draw the measurements on graph
paperas you measure.
- Step
2. Measure the distance around the house and any landscaping
you might have around the house, and add the measurements on
the graph paper.
- Step
3. You will need to figure out where the house sits on the lot,
and that can be done by the following, Measure from the front
right corner of the house to right side property line and mark
that on the paper, Then measure from the front right corner
of the house to the street and mark that on the graph paper.
Water
Pressure & Water Flow
Once
you have the yard measured, you will have to figure out your water
pressure and your gallons per minute, To figure out your G.P.M
or gallons per minute, you will need a 5 gallon pail and a watch,
for the PSI, you will need a pressure gauge.
Go
to the faucet closest to where your main water line will be feeding
your sprinkler system, Be sure you have a watch with a second
hand, Closely time how long it takes to fill a five gallon pail.
30 seconds = 10 gallons per minute. 20 seconds = 15 gallons per
minute, 15 seconds = 20 gallons per minute. Accuracy is very important.
Our
Design fee is $99, We will credit this fee to your sprinkler system
purchase.
This
will include a detailed drawing of your property, sprinkler head
and valve location so you will know exactly what you will need
before you begin your project. |
