Know before you buy
No, the Yard Butler Spike Sprinkler Base is sold as a standalone mount. It is designed to accommodate any standard 1/2-inch impulse sprinkler head you already own or choose to purchase separately.
Yes, the 18-inch dual spike system is specifically engineered to provide deep, stable anchorage in the soil. This design significantly reduces the risk of the unit tipping over, even when operating at higher water pressures.
By elevating the sprinkler head 10 inches above the ground, the base allows the water stream to clear taller grass, low-growing shrubs, or vegetable plants. This elevation helps prevent obstacles from blocking the spray pattern, resulting in more uniform distribution across your garden.
The heavy-duty, powder-coated construction is designed to resist rust and corrosion from constant exposure to water and soil. While it is built for longevity, we recommend storing it indoors during freezing winter months to protect the internal components.
Yes, the spike-style installation makes it simple to pull the base out of the ground and reposition it as needed. Because it connects directly to a standard garden hose, you can quickly relocate it to different zones in your lawn or flower beds.
