Make a Lawn Watering Sprinkler with PVC Pipe

Want to save money on your water bill? Learn how to make a DIY sprinkler using PVC pipe that will effectively water your lawn without breaking the bank.

It’s hot, my lawn is looking sad, and my yard work is… let’s just say not my idea of a fun weekend.
The lush green grass from spring has turned patchy and brown, and we needed a watering solution that didn’t involve standing outside with the hose for an hour.
One of my husband’s friends mentioned making a homemade sprinkler from PVC pipe, and suddenly, we had a plan.
After a quick trip to Home Depot, where a very patient employee walked us through what we needed, we came home with all the parts and got to work.
Simple, affordable, and way more fun than watching the lawn die.

You can cut the pipes to the needed sizes at Home Depot, or you can purchase a PVC pipe cutter to do it at home.
Screw the sprinkler head into the adapter.


And voilà! You are all done! The entire project took about 30-45 minutes, plus a bit more for drying.
