120 m² front lawn — the narrow strip

A small lawn with a walkway and narrow strips along the wall — the case where it is easiest to water the facade instead of the grass. Including what the engine does not do perfectly.

The rule this demonstrates

A strip narrower than about 2 m is side-strip-nozzle or drip territory (R6), not a reason to soak the wall. Below about 1.2 m only drip is left.

What this design does not show

This is a deliberately hard case. In narrow corridors the engine can still wet part of a wall — we publish the overspray figure instead of hiding it.

How this design was made

The site geometry (lawn, house, paths, beds, tap) was drawn the way a user would draw it. Everything else — sprinkler placement, nozzles, arcs, zoning, pipe routes, hydraulics and the bill of materials — was computed by the IrriForge engine from the Hunter and Rain Bird design manuals. The numbers on this page are generated by a script in the repository, so a change in the engine or the catalogue changes them immediately.
