How to plan a water irrigation system

We’ll show you how to measure and plot your garden so that your sprinkler irrigation system can perform more efficiently.

• The best place to start is with a pen, paper and measuring tape. Measure up and map your garden with a sensible scale (1cm cubed = 1m cubed works in most cases). Note down any obstacles in your garden.
• Measure water pressure. To do this, measure the time it takes for your tap to fill up a bucket or tank at full pressure, then divide the volume in litres by the minutes it took to fill up.
• Work out how many metres of tubing and what type of system you need. Garden irrigation systems generally work off sprinklers, pop-ups or drippers. Drip irrigation systems can potentially save water and nutrients by slowing dripping water to the roots of the plant.

Now that you’re done with planning your reticulation system needs, you can start considering which irrigation supplies to buy. Get started on your search by browsing our directory.
