Originally produced as a pump discharge hose, Layflat Hose has been incorporated into many different applications such as: mining, horticulture, oil field applications, but this is how you can use it for an above ground sprinkler system.
Layflat hose has become an extremely popular option for anyone who needs to create their own sprinkler system on a DIY budget. It’s also especially effective for people who need to be able to move their systems around over large areas due to its flexibility and durability.
Further, its low economical initial investment, ease of use, and resistance to chemical water treatment makes it a popular choice in a wide variety of applications.
Layflat’s initial cost is lower than other pipe and hose types. They are easy to connect, don’t require many special tools, and can be hauled over long distances. In fact, most brands of Layflat are compatible with Oval Hose fittings, which makes locating compatible and affordable fittings an easy task.
Is your yard so big that it just doesn’t make sense to install a MASSIVE sprinkler system underground? Perhaps you need to water recreational parks or sports stadiums?
Layflat hose is your answer because of how flexible, space saving, and cost effective it is.
All you need to do is hook up your layflat hose (from 1 inch all the way to 4 inch in diameter!) to a water source and then connect it to a water source with the appropriate fittings
For someone who doesn’t want to worry about turning it on and off, you can use a battery-powered sprinkler timer which screws directly into the outdoor faucet. The timer outputs water through a single male-threaded faucet. Attaching a dual metal shut-off hose “Y” allows you to split that single output into two directions, one on each side of the lawn.
From there you can pick and choose which sprinkler system best fits your application. Whether it is a Heavy Duty Sled Based Sprinkler, Tripod Sprinkler,or Wheeled Sprinkler Cart – you have the option to customize your systems to any size or standard because of how customizable layflat hose is to its use.
Then, of course, when you need to pack it all up when watering season is over, you can take in your sprinklers, roll up your layflat hose, and store it nice and easily until the next season!
