LMSC simonc I don’t remember. I remember measuring 2 or 3 bars! I was planning to bury PVC pipes. Does it work? How is it different to to MDPE.

its more common to bury PVC in the US than here from what I have seen. You can, but joints are more effort and less forgiving in movement than hose. This in either 25mm or 30mm is ideal, and then easy to get connectors to the pop ups. Much like flow profiling, pressure and flow are related and depend on the pipe. You also need to measure how much flow you have as the sprinkler heads are rated by flow. Not enough and you can only run one at a time, which just means more zones and more pipes back to the controller, rather than plumbing them in on the same pipe.

      simonc Thanks again! We do have something similar to your link, which we purchased from Gardena. This can go under the ground as well. The cost those MDPE looks fine for 100m.

      It is definitely a separate pipe lay out per zone. My controller has 6, which is more than enough. 😊

      Cheers mate!

      Edit: We any way require a new set of pipes for sure. The MDPE looks good for us.?

        So had a right couple days of it and im propper annoyed

        The company supplying the grass and decking were ti deliver yesterday. The dacking came with a grass to follow at some point. It came at 7pm. One man on his own with 7mx5m of grass

        So today i un pack and start doing the grass, theres no driver bit for the decking screws so had to order that last night off Amazon. Came today at 3, with all the excitement, i lay the grass and trum, then remembered id the sample in the car, only the wrong grass!!! Now i questioned this pre order, so today spoke to the owner, tough poo you cut it !!!

        So suck it up, and lay it. Do the decking and heres the next kicker. I built my frame to spec to finish on 44 boards.

        Asked the company the size of the board, 150mm. Not an odball is it, nope true 150mm

        Turns out there 147mm ffs, so i have lost 130mm over the run and now have a 20mm gap. To say im annoyed is an understatement.

        So heres the end of todays work

        Can anyone recommend a non-chemical based patio cleaner. After ignoring the patio for many years, it took me 3 hours to clean the 75% of the lawn with the AVA pressure washer. It’s a beast.

        The patio looks decent now. It will benefit from some soapy water. But, I can’t use chemicals or anything, which will kill my plants and grass;
        because the waste water will end up on my lawn and plants.

        It needs to be something, which won’t kill my grass and plants. Appreciate recommendations please. Thx

        That’s the problem in the UK, our domestic pressure is so low. 3 bars will be ok, 2 might be too low but you need to check flow and importantly pressure whilst a tap is full open too.

        I am just getting mine set up and cleaned and tested again and was reading up on the specs.

            Cleaned the Patio today all 700 sqft of it! takes me almost 4 hours to do with my pressure washer….a hated job but done now, and the patio looks better for it.

            Contact me

            The karcher patio cleaner is amazing, the enclosed one

              We didn’t bother cleaning it in 7.5 years. I am not joking. I was surprised it took me 3 hours to complete ¾ of the back lawn.

              Something to bear in mind with ‘prepared’ timber 3 mm is allowed for preparing (planing and thicknessing)

              If you are using T & G boarding ask for covering size.

              Composite decking buddy,

              And i did ask, twice infact😂

              Does it require spacers to allow for expansion ?

              Cuprajake Thx!

              Oops Jake!

              I had asked for a non-chemical patio cleaner.

              That’s a good deal.

                simonc Will measure and let you know.

                If it is 2, I would require multiple loops. Thx

                    Thats just water pressure it comes as part of the k2 kit

                    May of linked the wrong one

                    These are the fixings, except mine are sq1 which is a square head

                    LMSC flow is important too. If you maintain 2 bar when a tap is open, dynamic pressure, and flow is high then you would be ok.

                        11 days later

                        simonc I measured the flow a few times. It averages about 1100 L/h. I haven’t measured the bar pressure yet. I will grab a cheaper tool from amazon. Hunter sprinklers suggest a minimum of 2.3 bar pressure and 1200 L/h to install 5 MP 2000 navigators.

                        Their 5 pack version is interesting!

                            LMSC that’s basically all the stuff I have but only one under ground so far and 2 waiting to go in.

                            That’s the optimal way to do a square lawn but there are others. Mine is rectangular so I’m just doing one in middle of each long side. The middle gets watered more than the rest but I’m ok with that. Better than the cost of running all the extra pipe and as I can only run one at a time all the extra control valves too.
