My back yard is 120 across but I don't want any more sprinklers in the
center of my yard then necessary because of my dog tripping on one of them.
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?

Thanks

Depending on your water pressure, impact sprinklers should do the job. I
haven't measured the ones I've used - but I'd say they shoot 30 feet
plus. So one in the center doing 360degrees is 60 feet plus the 2 in the
corners = 120 feet. There are likely 'agricultural' or 'commercial'
sprinklers that may shoot farther, plus there are some mounted on
elevated pipes that may get you another few feet. You could perhaps use
a 'pressure washer' pump to increase the water pressure(slightly!) -
though plumbing would need to be very secure at any increased pressure
of course. Have you considered 'leaky pipe'? That stuff is completely
underground and is water consrving too because there is no wind/evap loss.
