I don't know it's the reason why about my question? I' am looking from somebody who installed such system in its garden! I hope that such system is utilised by foreign resident in Fethiye...if I could get any address?
Thanks a lot/B.Regards

I purchased all the bits, sprinklers, drips and feeder, microbore and drip hose and made my own system. Really easy and very affordable. Available in most of the shops marked either 'Sulama' or 'Tarim' Just draw a diagram of the garden with sizes and position of water supply etc. and the shop people will work out what you need.

With a bit more thought I,m sure a pop-up system is quite as easy as a DIY. If you need any more info just message me.

The spacings will vary with hole size and pressure, try every two/three foot or so. If after a time, you do find you need more, just cut more to suit. 8)
