System Garden Sprinklers

About System Garden Sprinklers

System garden sprinklers are compact irrigation components designed to integrate seamlessly into automatic watering systems for efficient garden maintenance. Unlike standalone lawn sprinklers, these specialised units connect directly to micro drip and underground irrigation networks, delivering precise water coverage through multiple spray jets. MyToolShed.co.uk stocks a comprehensive range of system sprinklers from leading brands Gardena and Hozelock, including spray nozzles, pop-up sprinklers, strip sprinklers, and oscillating units suitable for gardens of all sizes.

Available in various configurations from 90° and 180° directional patterns to full 360° coverage, system garden sprinklers offer versatile solutions for targeted watering. Products range from inline and endline spray nozzles for border beds to micro mist nozzles for delicate plantings, plus innovative solar-powered irrigation controllers for complete automation. Whether extending existing irrigation networks or building new systems, MyToolShed provides compatible components for both Gardena MICRO DRIP and Hozelock systems.

Choosing The Right System Garden Sprinklers

Coverage pattern: Select 90° or 180° nozzles for corners and edges, 360° sprinklers for central areas, and strip sprinklers for narrow borders or vegetable rows. Consider the shape and size of areas requiring irrigation.

System compatibility: Ensure sprinklers match your existing irrigation system brand and pipe diameter. Gardena and Hozelock components are not directly interchangeable without adaptors.

Water pressure requirements: Check minimum and maximum pressure specifications, particularly for pop-up sprinklers and multi-pattern nozzles which require adequate pressure for proper operation.

Inline versus endline: Endline sprinklers cap off irrigation runs, whilst inline units allow pipe continuation. Plan your layout to determine which configuration suits each location.

Adjustability: Variable pattern nozzles and adjustable spray distances offer flexibility for changing garden layouts, whilst fixed patterns provide consistent coverage for permanent plantings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mix Gardena and Hozelock sprinklers in the same system?

Generally no – each brand uses proprietary pipe diameters and fittings. Whilst adaptors may be available, it's recommended to use components from a single manufacturer throughout your irrigation system to ensure proper fit and water pressure distribution.

What's the difference between pop-up and surface sprinklers?

Pop-up sprinklers remain flush with ground level when not in use, rising only when water pressure activates them – ideal for lawns and areas requiring clear access. Surface-mounted spray nozzles remain visible and are typically used in planted borders where concealment isn't necessary.

How many sprinklers can I connect to one irrigation line?

This depends on your water pressure, pipe diameter, and individual sprinkler flow rates. Most domestic systems support 4-8 sprinklers per zone. Check manufacturer guidelines and consider dividing larger gardens into multiple zones controlled by timers for optimal performance.
