How Do You Install An Outdoor Sprinkler System?

By installing it yourself, you can save 30-40% of the cost a contractor would charge for installing it. Installing an outdoor sprinkler system is easier than you might think. Here’s how to install an outdoor sprinkler system: Measure the water pressure from the water source you will use for your outdoor sprinkler system. To do this, use a pressure gauge – you can buy one at your local home improvement store. Write down the water pressure measurement. Measure the amount of water that comes out per minute by filling up a bucket that has measurements on the side. Let the water run in the bucket for one minute, then write down the water height measurement. This information is important to know when installing an outdoor sprinkler system.
