Sprinkler system

[deadbeat]

Looking to put a sprinkler system in my garden but have had a big quote to do this.

Anyone have experience of having had this done or maybe done yourself?

Any useful input welcome.

Cheers

A professionally designed and installed system will not be cheap, but maybe worth it if you can afford it. There are many things to consider and Do It Yourself first time usually means a big learning experience.

 

You may find more suggestions in the Housing/ DIY, and/or Farming forum.  

 

I am not an irrigation specialist, but I have installed very simple irrigation systems in small yards where we have lived, with parts from Home Pro, Global House and local hardware stores. At our current house, I converted an existing ornamental fish pond to an irrigation water holding tank, supplied from municipal water, with a float valve filler shut off.  I put in a auto pressure pump to feed the PVC lines and impulse sprinklers. I turned it on manually for awhile, but later I installed a simple timer for the water pump on/off switch. 

 

In Chiang Mai at Kamtieng plant market, there is at least one irrigation shop with all kinds of parts as well as design and installation available.

Many thanks drtreelove, food for thought.

is there an under soil watering automatic time controlled system for lan/grass available in Thailand?

You don't say where you are but most home improvement stores stock all the parts needed to do it yourself, as long as its not a huge task it is quite easy, but can get expensive.

The closest large store to me (Do Home) has 2 aisles full of everything you could need.

I fitted a small system with 10 sprinklers fed by a simple hose connection controlled by a tap, I used the blue pipe underground and the black irrigation above.

I don't know about a subsurface system for turf, but if anyone has what you are looking for, it would be Netafim:
