Many sprinklers and especially impulse sprinklers have a lot of water pressure behind them. You need a base for that sprinkler that will not tip over regardless of the water pressure. The Yard Butler Step Spike Sprinkler Stand’s dual spikes are perfect for hillsides or other rough or uneven terrain. It lifts the sprinkler head 10 inches above the ground and over most ground cover or plants. Accommodates any ½ inch sprinkler head. The heavy duty powder coated steel is guaranteed to last a lifetime.
