Default Tripod For Sprinkler?

Sheellah said:

I have a front lawn that is divided by a walk with 3 foot shrubs on each side
of the walk. I just got an oscillating sprinkler, and placing it in the middle
of the walk doesn't get the water over the shrubs. I need to raise it up to
clear the bushes. I have the Gardena Aquazoom. Are there tripods, or something
made to raise this higher so I can water both sides of the lawn at once?


I've tied my oscillating sprinkler to the bottom of an old plastic milk crate.
A short stack of milk crated can then lift it up to reach over low shrubs.
I've even set the sprinkler (on its milk crate) on top of an old metal trash
can (with a flat lid) to get it up even higher. You may have to carefully
dress the hose -- even tie it to the stack -- to make the whole setup stable.
