  How To Design And Build A Sprinkler System- A Complete Guide For The Do-It-Yourselfer

 
How To Design And Build A Sprinkler System- A Complete Guide For The Do-It-Yourselfer under Outdoor & Recreational Areas in The Books Store
 
Manufacturer: Irrigation Publishing
Number of Items: 1
 
 
Binding: Paperback
Author: Michael A. Tenn
Publisher: Irrigation Publishing
Publication Date: 1997-07
Reading Level: 103
 
Description: This book explains how to design and build a sprinkler system to irrigate a residential landscape. Beginning with an inventory and description of the components of a sprinkler system, the book describes what the different parts are and what they do, as well as explanations of the appropriate use of the different parts. For example, when choosing sprinkler heads, when to use rotors compared with using spray or impact heads. The book covers all the components of a sprinkler system including heads, valves, controllers, wiring, backflow devices, piping and fittings.

Building from that basic foundation, the reader is then given instruction in how to successfully design a sprinkler system including establishing a water source, zoning, pipe sizing, head layout and all the other necessary requirements. The design process incorporates a discussion of soil types, plant communities, and microclimates as well as the mechanical considerations. The outcome here is to help the reader design a sprinkler system that functions correctly, is cost effective, and that is appropriate to the existing or proposed landscape and site conditions.

After the reader has designed a sprinkler system, the book goes through a step-by-step example of how to physically lay-out and install a sprinkler system, including many useful contractor's tips and shortcuts and a troubleshooting guide.

The book has a chapter on low-volume irrigation that includes how to design and install drip and micro irrigation, and a chapter on how to water for maximum results using minimal amounts of water.

How To Design And Build A Sprinkler System is a breath of fresh air in that it does not shrink from an explanation of what is really required to build a sprinkler system. The fact is, sprinkler systems are not so complicated that a homeowner can't build one by doing some homework first, but they (sprinkler systems) definitely require more knowledge than is usually provided at the retail level.

How To Design And Build A Sprinkler System is for the intelligent homeowner who wants to install a "real" sprinkler system, have the fun and satisfaction of doing it themselves, and save a ton of money compared to having a contractor do the same job. The book is also a recommended read for someone taking bids and talking to contractors about irrigation work. This book is a great resource as a way to make sure homeowners can communicate effectively about what they expect from a contractor.
