New Perrot ZK 30 W sector sprinkler ready installed. No concrete needed, if stones are around.

Ready to irrigate field and meadow.

New wooden splitted larch stake driven into the ground and carrefully wedged with stones to fix and align the new sprinkler with a drain valve at the bottom. I prepared the 1 inch bar in advance, screwed it together and sealed the iron/brass parts with hemp and the bottom Plasson PE coupling with teflon.
