Rainbird's Irrigation Design - Help!

10 years ago

Hi Gardenweb irrigation folks,

Please have look below the design provided by Rainbird. I'm ok with their layout for the front and back of the property. But I'm struggling to understand what they were thinking on the side of my property... is it me or did they go completely overboard on the number of heads?? Can someone suggest a more simple layout?

Sorry, I should have mentioned that each square is 5ft x 5ft.

mp,

What is the operating pressure and flow rate per zone that they used for the design A legend of what the Rainbird heads are used with the flow rate and pressure loss per head supplied. Outline the zones and location of the valves would be helpful. Which side are you concerned with? Very nice drawing but hard to see clearly. JMHO Aloha
