Sprinkler Stand Simplified. The easiest way to build a sprinkler stand.

[@tombrownrigg8794]

Nice work. Thank you 👍

[@AB_thingsDFW]

Good video man. I'm going to try this. I have a lot of pressure. I've had good luck with orbit

[@vandit0o0o]

Hey, thanks. Yeah, orbit has some good products. Whatever works for you.

[@tikoexpressincownerkevin7933]

I like the threaded ends with a threaded cap option. wish I had thought to do that. next one will be like yours

[@zattoart]

Thanks Albert! Just what I need for tight spots around the garden beds!

[@vandit0o0o]

Hey, glad it worked out for you. Wait till you see my next video. I got another sprinkler design.

[@kravchan]

Thank you so much for such idea!! I've got 1200 square meters of area to water, and you are a blessing 🙏 i used pvc wielding though.

[@vandit0o0o]

Wow, that's a large area. Glad the sprinkler stand worked out for you. 👍😎

[@kravchan]

@@vandit0o0o i miscalculated the area, its only 1200 m2, your stand is huge relief still. Thank you 👌

[@thomasnguyen7707]

Very useful information. Thanks

[@davidruiz5383]

do it go 360 and can you adjust the range of water, example, for 5 to 10 to 15 feet. Thanks and great video.

[@vandit0o0o]

Oh for sure you can adjust the distance and spray. Your water pressure will play a part in that as well.

[@lindawagner3900]

Thank You!!

[@ericjohnson829]

Would it make any difference at all if one decided to place the water inlet on the back side across from the sprinkler head ?

[@vandit0o0o]

No, I believe the water pressure would remine the same. Give it a try if that design would benefit you in any way.

[@sfar3297]

Very good big al

[@robertboyero3797]

Dang my big box stores don’t carry the swivel female hose pvc adapter.

[@vandit0o0o]

I got all my supplies at Home Depot. To save you time, search for all your supplies on their website first to know they are in stock before going. Amazon would be another place that would usually have it.

[@Nathan-ho7vr]

I see lots of videos like this and I am left wondering, why not just buy the impact sprinkler spikes and use the rain bird adapters? I mean the spikes can be bought for less than $5.

[@vandit0o0o]

Good question. The spike is the whole reason of why I made this stand. For me and my neighbors, it got extremely annoying dealing with the spikes every week, especially when you got to adjust 6 spikes at a time. Not only that, when the spike hits rock as it goes in the ground, it bends and eventually breaks. In my opinion, spike are a temporary quick fix, annoying to set up and they can be a little brittle. And honestly, for me watering my grass became much more enjoyable after using this sprinkler stand.

[@Nathan-ho7vr]

@@vandit0o0o rocky, hard ground is an obvious reason to opt for a stand over a spike, can't believe I didn't figure that out on my own...

[@Sylvan_dB]

@@Nathan-ho7vr Another nice thing about the stand is you can drag the sprinkler to a new spot.

[@mogley71]

Could i build this and just burry it?

[@vandit0o0o]

You could, but the spray head will always be sticking out some. You may want to look for sprinkler head the pops up when in use.

[@tyriceholliday4151]

I would like to try this build but it seems as my home doesn’t produce enough psi for water. I brought two sprinkler units from lowes for 10$ a piece. Hooked both up but can only use one at a time. Does this unit build psi in the heads.

[@vandit0o0o]

Hi there. No, I wouldn't say this sprinkler head builds pressure. You may want to look into upping the water pressure from your main incoming water line. Just a little at a time until you notice better water pressure on the heads. Speaker with a plumber in case you're unsure of your main water line and don't use thin 1/2" hoses. Stick with 3/4".

[@craftman5632]

Yeah, I got low water pressure at my house too, what I did was added a double spigot to the faucet and ran two 3/4" garden hose one for each sprinkler and I was able to use both sprinkler at the same time, and on that double spigot it comes with a shut-off valve so you can adjust the water flow for each line.Your friend has shared a link to a Home Depot product they think you would be interested in seeing: Melnor 2.76 in.

[@vandit0o0o]

@@craftman5632 Yeah, low water pressure really makes it a hassle to water correctly. Glad it worked for you. 👍

[@chrismagnussen6680]

Not at all related to sprinklers, what kind of bibs are you wearing?

[@vandit0o0o]

Lol, I'm a little to old for bibs. I'm wearing an apron meant for shopwork. Here's the link: amzn.to/3A50QEz

[@gschreibministries]

Why not use an x fitting with female threads on top, a five way fitting?

[@vandit0o0o]

Great question. For the shape of my own lawn, this was a simpler and cheaper solution. Since I setup the sprinklers at the farthest corner, I wanted to make sure those corners didn't miss out on the watering since these sprinkler heads are meant to be only a few inches about the ground. Plus, this design is still very stable while actively watering. I hope this helps.

[@wb6vpm]

Because I don’t think they make it. I’ve been looking for years for this, and never found it, at least in something pressure rated (I have found them for furniture, but not for plumbing). If you know of any, please post it here!

[@lcoop89]

Or - if you don't like your impact sprinkler or other type of sprinkler that screws into a base , a lot of them the impact (or other) heads will unscrew off of the base and a half inch irrigation "riser" will fit into that threaded hole in the base and then screw your pop-up onto that riser in the ready-made base 😊

[@vandit0o0o]

Hey there, yes that is a convenient option. I just have to many sprinkler heads to keep spiking down into the ground (and are a potential safety hazard do to the pointy spike). I personally just got tired of it, especially because my lawn has so many rocks that have bent my spike and have had to replace the base due to the spike breaking making it unstable. In my opinion, these pvc stands are way less of a hassle and are not limited to just placing them on the lawn. In the end it's whatever works best for you. ;)

[@lcoop89]

@@vandit0o0o this pretty much also works on ANY kind of base I have found , spiked or "sled" including cheapy ones where a sprinkler head screws into pretty much any kind of base not necessarily a spiked one 😊 (edit: it does need to be a somewhat broad base like your video shows if you want to use a gear drive rotary sprinkler so the emerging water pressure from the sprinkler doesn't topple it over - this would not really apply to a lesser water pressure sprayer head sprinkler where you could use a smaller base)

[@JamesSelf-tk1ik]

How many videos are you going to type this exact same comment. Must be a bot? Idk.

[@skjdbam]

Do you post a bill of material for this?

[@vandit0o0o]

Hey there, great question. The pvc parts may come out to around $17. The glue & thread tape around $13. So around $30 total, but you don't use up all the pvc pipe so you can save money there when building more stands. Hope this helps.

[@skjdbam]

@@vandit0o0o Thanks, Albert. I know it's in the video but I was wondering if you have a list of all the parts needed?

[@Robert-ug5hx]

Those are complete junk, I made mine out of heavy galvanized pipe, with a five way in the middle, real apollo fill port ball valves, With hunter i 20 heads no rock needed to hold the bases sown they very heavy and durable

[@billcurtis7687]

The only sprinkler products people should use is Rain Bird as this equipment will last years, where as Hunter, Toro and Orbit is pure unadulterated junk and will stop working after the first year or sooner.
