Irrigation Considerations Before Installing a Fence
If you plan to have a new fence installed around your property, there are a few things to consider to avoid the headache of a break in the water line, sprinkler head, or control system. Since irrigation lines are made of PVC, breaks are possible, so you want to avoid damage. The following tips can help you lessen the risk.
Irrigation Considerations:
Use Marking Paint or Yard Flags
Locate sprinkler heads and flag them. If you have a utility map of your irrigation lines, mark your water lines. If not, call and schedule a checkup by a professional irrigation company within a week of your fence installation. They will locate and mark irrigation lines and sprinkler heads; they can also perform any necessary maintenance.
Follow the Two-Foot Rule
If possible, whether just the fence or if the irrigation and fence are new installs, be sure the sprinkler heads on the perimeter are at least two feet from the fence. Especially with wood fences, continuous spray can cause discoloration, mold, mildew, and wood rot. So be sure the sprinkler heads are not facing the fence.
Use a Stain or Seal to Protect Your Wood Fence
A stain or seal will protect it from water damage with wood fences. Also, this brightens and reveals the natural beauty of the wood grain.
