Las Vegas Handyman Installs Sprinkler Box

  
  
  

sprinkler boxA Las Vegas handyman should be knowledgeable in various areas. As the weather gets warmer, homeowners will start checking out their sprinklers. You should have a sprinkler box surrounding your sprinkler valves.

Installing a sprinkler box is much easier than installing sprinkler valves. The box fits around the valves and has a removable top. Remove the top and dig out the hole large enough so that the box will fit. You want the top of the box deep enough so that the lawnmower won’t hit it, yet you will still be able to service the valves without too much trouble. I have found that cutting out a portion of the bottom ends of the box makes things go much easier.

The trick is to place the box into the hole and eyeball where the pipes are in relation to the box. You will cut the bottom ends of the box to allow the box to fit over the piping and rest on the ground below. I use a jigsaw and the job goes very quickly. It doesn’t have to be pretty. The jigsaw will quickly cut the plastic sides out to your specs. You may have to make a few cuts to get the box to fit over the piping yet sit level. Once the box fits well, you can back fill the area around the box and push the cover on.
