Auto water irrigation and sprinkler system

Make a plan of your irrigation layout wit all the diff pieces and you can calculate how much it'll cost. Also, getting that amazon order may come with a lot of pieces you won't need for your layout.

For the individual tube stakes, you can save money and just use thick enough steel wires. Don't buy tube end caps, just bend the ends up and tape it tight.

The system once set with that exact same orbit timer works like a charm!

FYI, I live in Vancouver, BC where the winter temperature is more mild.

I’d buy better quality hunter and rain bird components….so much of this job is in the labour.
