- DIY Sprinkler Sled. In this video I show you how I made my Sprinkler Sled using PVC. With all the different pieces it only cost about $25. It ended up being ever better then I thought it would come out. So easy to make anyone could do it.

How I went from Weeds to Grass th-cam.com/video/lt-6F1UQf2k/w-d-xo.html
Made this today for the kids to play in. Easy, and it ended up awesome!
That is awesome, my kids loving playing in it also.
Made one! I used your concept and it turned out perfectly. My wife loves it, thanks
That’s is awesome 👏
You can cut the center of pipe and add a cut off valve to control one or two watering sections. Just adding an idea. Cheers!
Absolutely
Well done. You can also add a water timer so that it turns on automatically for a set time each day.
You sure could, thanks for the comment
Great idea!!! 🤩 Thanks for sharing as I will be making one or two of these for my yard!
I still use mine all the time 👍🏼
I watched your video last night and built my sled today. Easy as pie to do. Purchased all the parts from Lowe's. Now it cost a little more because I did not have the Cement and Primer and I bought a PVC cutter. But I am more than happy with it. My friend did two of them and his are 20 foot long and he has three pop ups in his. I wish I would have thought about a more ridged PVC, seems a little to flexy but, I am more than happy. Thanks for the video.
That’s awesome, I really appreciate that comment I’m glad the video was a help. 👍
This is what I need! I’m going to make one this weekend. Thanks for the info!
Still using it a few years later, I love it.
After watching this video I am going to make one, so far best video I seen on TH-cam.
Thank you so much, I appreciate your kind words
I bought a Oscillating Sprinkler for $10 and does great the one that goes back and forth
so far on youtube this is the best one ive seen above ground thank you.
I appreciate that comment thank you very much
Thanks. I saw several instructions online, but no video. Looks good. I'll be making one this weekend.
Great video, sir! I'm hoping to make something like this. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for the comment. Definitely let me know how it turns out.
Making one this weekend with my son for his freshman final in Ag Mechanics! So Fun, Thanks Man!!!!
Hey that’s a awesome idea, very cool. Good luck on his final 👍
Great job! Most creative for sure. We both work or worked for Lowe's for may years and this is a really educational Do-it-Yourself. Thank you so much and Please have a wonderful weekend.
I enhance to learn to watch your presentation in your video. I really love it
This looks super cool 😊 And always so good to see you! 😘
This is awesome. Totally gonna make one. Thank you.
I love mine
Hey this is great! I'm showing this to my husband. Thank you very much. Love your yard. Hope everyone is doing well.😊Have a good weekend.
Hey Laura hope your doing good. Thanks I’ve been working so hard on the yard it’s paying off. Tell him to make you one 👍🏻
@@LifeLessOrdinary I sure will tell him. Thanks.
This is such an awesome project for my 2 year old and I to do this weekend. She loves being outside in water. I’m just conflicted cause we live in AZ which is a desert and wasting a resource just to play in it is gnawing at me regardless of how happy it will make my little honey badger lol. I’ll also be the idiot supervising her in 110 degree weather burning up while she have a blast 😕😆
I can understand the conflict, but maybe just limit your time as opposed to letting it run too long and you can still enjoy it.
Great job!
Loved this video
Nice diy..great job
Nice video , seems to be good pressure on both sprinklers.
Thank you yes mine is working great
Great job
I appreciate that 👍
One problem with a big sled as this, is that storage can be an issue, since it does not break down for storage. If left on the grass for days, it will kill the grass beneath it. It would probably even better to make these so they could be taken apart for storage. Not sure if the t's and all could be pushed together and not permanently glued together and that they would still stay connected soundly so they didn't pop apart when the water is turned on to the system and pressure is applied. May make on like that and just experiment to see if it can be done and thus, eliminate any storage issue that the lengthy sleds would have. Fan sprinkler heads can still work on such a system. I have seen a much, much smaller version of this same system that would actually work quite well in many yards. Currently, I have a system that is using sprinkler heads mounted with nipples and onto spikes. I use water hoses of various lengths to link the different heads in line so that my system fits well for my yard. I can replace the hoses with different lengths if I need to. I always run 4 sprinkler heads with the complete hose unit assembled, as the water pressure runs the same, but if you start adding many more per section, it will drop. I have a unit at the faucet which allows me to hook on 2 hoses per faucet. I just put on the same type of split unit to add 4 hoses, but I have not tried it out to see if water pressure will remain constant with 4 hoses running out of the faucet or not. I'll do that later today. It is a workable system, but it too lends itself to having issues in storage. Rolling up 10' and 25' and 50' hoses with all those sprinklers included is a real chore to do the daily watering required for my new sod lawn in my front yard. A sled system will work even better, I am guessing, but that same issue of storage is indeed plaguing each version when the pieces are long and permanently joined together. All in all though, this sort of system far outweighs using the typical sprinklers in my opinion and more so if you don't have an underground sprinkler system to depend upon. A big plus is that you are probably not going to mow over the sprinkler heads by accident and break them or even have one break off from just being old and brittle over time. Nice video and thanks for sharing it.
Great information, I made a hook on my fence that I lay it up on when not using. It works great for keeping it off the lawn. Thanks for the great comment.
Appreciate the video, it really helped 👍
Awesome
That's how I'm doin mine but I'm putting mine in the groung
Good job sir
I appreciate that 🙏🏼
Great video, where did you get your adaptor for the hose????
Nice creative work here
I appreciate that 👍🏻
@@LifeLessOrdinary your WELCOME take care
I’ve been thinking about making one for my narrow backyard. Is it possible to not have the water run through the legs. I’m curious if that will help with water pressure. I need go to back and make a parts list. Thanks for posting.
You could make the legs shorter, but honestly once it’s full of water your pressure should basically be the same.
Do you think if this set up with a few modifications can be used to spray down and outward from my back porch deck to cover area of grass? That way my dogs don't hit it and is out of the way? My back yard is like 15ft wide and 30ft long.
Absolutely it’s pvc you can make any changes you need to make it work 👍
Are you getting the same amount of water out of each head and reaching just as far as the first one?
Yeah it’s working great. If at anytime I feel the water is slowing it’s only because of debris in the little sprinkler filter. I clean it out and it’s good to go.

How long are the other pieces - between the sprinkler T and the ends & the stabilzier pieces? I got that the center is 10' but what about the rest of the pieces?
I'll take an educated guess, about 16" on each side of the T at the ends.
You are correct about 16” on each side 👍
Any way you can link the Hose Adapter that you used? Thanks!
This is the type of adapter I ended up using, but they make a couple different styles.

Do you have a link for the sprinkler?
I sure don’t but I found some recently at Home Depot for about $4 each
Do you have a video on how you got rid of your weeds?
I this was my only yard video, but the weeds are all gone in the back yard. Grass looks amazing
Can u put like 6 head?
Really it all depends on the pressure you have from your water hose
I can not find the hose adapter 71939
Found mine at Ace hardware, they metal and plastic
why don't you just put it underground??
This is a sled meant for moving around the yard, a underground system would cost much more.
@@LifeLessOrdinary you already have the sprinkler heads may be add 2 more @ $5 each a 100’ of 3/4 or 1’ tubing $30 to $50 and some elbow grease n you’re set, just saying...
Thanks 👍
I wanna do it, just think it’ll be awkward to store lol
I’m going to say that I don’t have a good idea of how ueueyrtete can get a better idea 💡 I can get a better idea for the day I have a couple of things I need you know I
