Concrete protectors for pop-up sprinklers
A pop-up beside a driveway gets clipped by car wheels again and again. A concrete protector ring set around the head, flush with the lawn, takes the weight instead.
The animation shows the head set low on EZ-Tube, the ring going in around it, a wheel riding over it, and the head popping up through the ring when the water comes on.

The ring takes the weight, not the head
What you’re looking at
- Set low
- The pop-up sits a little lower, on EZ-Tube, inside a pit dug around the head.
- The ring takes the weight
- The wheel rides on the concrete, the load spreads into the soil, and there's a gap between the tyre and the head.
