How to Use a Sled Base Sprinkler

Sprinklers are used by many homeowners to water the lawn and landscape areas of their yards. Designed to evenly distribute water over an area, sprinklers are available in different styles and models. One sprinkler popular with some homeowners has a sled base design, which allows for placement in areas where creating a hole with a stake-style sprinkler is not possible or desired. Sled base sprinklers also allow for quick and easy setup and adjustment for efficiently watering around the yard.
