need help with sprinkler install

[tedfrk]

i want to install a sprinkler system in my fron yard one side is 25x75,the other about 10'x50'.i want to make it on 2 zones for now until i add more for the back at a later time.i was thinking about using 6 heads for the 25 x 75 area.and around 4 or 5 for the 10x50 area.i was planning on using schedule 40 1" for the main line and then 3/4 from the t's to each head,should i use 45's or 90's also what is a good timer for about 4 or 5 zones?any help is greatly appreciated.

rainbird is what we normally use. i think 2 zones are needed w/ about 4 heads per zone on the larger area for maximum coverage. 1 zone w/ 4 heads should be good for the smaller area.

5 heads is what is recommended per zone, depending on the H2O pressure in your neighborhood. you could make 6 work if you have enough pressure, (in that case run all 1" pvc) but 6 heads do not sound like adequete coverage for that many sq. ft.

90's or t's are both fine for irrigation, just depends on what you need where to make it work and run as little pvc as possible. the less pvc you run per zone the better the pressure.

this what not mentioned but the pipe need to be buried below the freeze line, w/e that may be for your area. it should still be winterized but i would still go deeper than the freeze line...

down here you can go to a supply house with a drawing of the prop to scale and if you buy the materials they will design it and del.
