How to plan trenches
Always start from your water source (usually a garden tap) & identify a path that runs
to the base of where each sprinkler will go. The Sprinklers will screw directly into the
pipe with the help of a Poly M.I. Tee (inline) or Poly M.I. Elbow (at an end point). Your
goal here should be to minimise the distance the water needs to travel to get to each
spray. See this example:
How to dig trenches in lawns
First things first, you’ll want to make sure your lawn still looks good once you’re done.
To make sure of that:
1. Use a flat shovel to cut into your turf at 45deg angle along one edge of the
trench you’re about to dig.
2. Then on the other side, do the same. The result should be one long line of cut
turf, 15-20cm wide.
3. Working along the channel, use the end of your shovel to cut the turf into 30-
40cm wide pieces
4. Carefully lift each piece out, so it can be re-instated at the end.
With the turf removed, use a trenching shovel to dig out the rest of the trench.
Important: Your trench must be deep enough for the pop-up sprinkler with a
fitting screwed in the bottom to sit just below ground level.
