I will check out the local irrigation shops in western sydney when I'm mobile again. Just curious, would you recommend piping underneath the driveway? We were going to take the approach for the frontyard to just have an 2 recycled water taps installed on the sides (one for each) and have each separately connected to the irrigation system. We're trying to keep it simple in terms of setup and we thought that would be the best method as our driveway is being done by our builder in advance (stenciled concrete) and it would be hard to get piping, etc, done during the time the builder has the house. Any drawbacks you can see to this? Being the technology nerd I am, any suggestions on anything that can be controlled by a pc over the network (preferably wireless?). Thanks again Fu. Nav Edit: instead of posting another post. Just was re-reading your post, from the way the photo of your hoses look, it looks like that's a rear tap that's basically split and sent around the whole house, I am assuming you'd have trenching and a pipe going to the opposite side front yard? i.e. if the outlet was at the rear left of the house, and you wanted to setup irrigation for the front right of the house, you would need to trench from rear left to rear, around the back of the house, down right side of house, to the front of your house? Do you recommend this approach over trenching under the driveway? I was looking online and saw many suggestions of getting driveway builders to create a 'sleeve' for future irrigation piping under the driveway, which was the other option we were thinking of however not sure how easy it would be to fix if their was a leak/problem with the piping.
