Heavy duty, bent bar, predrilled,
four prong, pointed, steel base.
The base is a critical component,
and the part most often overlooked. It should be good looking, durable,
and proportionally sized. Cheap bases made from angle iron ruin the
look of your art. The hardest part may be locating the steel, it comes
in 20' lengths, most distributors require you have a commercial
account, and their minimum purchase is $200 or more, so you'll have
enough steel for 20 years. Because making a few bases can be so much
work, we include 4 Bases with each Kit. This also includes the nuts and
bolts for attaching them to the elbow. Forget the hassle of
making the bases, and spend your time on the fun part, making the art
for inside the hoop!

Complete sprinklers used to ship
fully assembled, but rather than continually raising the shipping cost,
we save you money by shipping the 4 prong steel base loose. Simply
attach it with a phillips screwdriver and 3/8" nut-driver or wrench
(nuts & bolts are included).

The
camera is level, the ground isn't. A good demonstration of why a base
that inserts into the ground is required. Anything less than a heavy
duty steel 4 prong base falls over, or at the very least start leaning,
and then they stop spinning. Pictures to the right show the
old 3
prong bases, but the standard base is now a 4 prong.
They're unpainted, because it's not very environmentally
friendly, paint rubs off when you stick it in the ground. The
heavy gauge steel will last without paint, and it adds to the rustic
look. |
