Default 120 foot lawn sprinkler system

My back yard is 120 across but I don't want any more sprinklers in the

Anyway I want to take sprinklers on both sides of my fence and shot them as
far into the yard as I can. Does anyone know how far I can get a sprinkler
to shoot water? I will need one (I hope) sprinkler in the center of the
yard, which will be a 360 degress sprinkler to make up for the distance that
the sprinklers on both sides will lack. Does anyone have any thought on
this?


What kind of "sprinkler" are you using? It is possible to get impact
heads that connect to free-standing risers that connect to your garden
hose. These might be a solution to your problem.

(I don't necessarily endorse Rainbird over other products. It was just
the first site that came up.)

You can buy these things at Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Sometimes you can
get them at K Mart.
