super customizable. easy to put together. exactly as described. only put it together today so can't speak on the longevity but it's exactly what i'd hoped for. love it- saved my summer. small price to pay for a lot of time and effort saved.

This is a great landscape irrigation for the home gardener. i have had mine now for a year and did have to replace a few lines that seem to dry out but other than that it is still working great. you get more than enough of the smaller line to run to alot of plants. i had to buy more main line but other than that i love it.

Installed about 2 1/2 years ago. Running on a 4 outlet manifold from a big orange box store. Most of the system still works. The first year, the small diameter hose became very hard, but didn't crack or break. The emitters caps dry up, become brittle and crumble away the second year. Easily replaced though. Expanding the system can get expensive if buying piece by piece. Recommend buying another separate system to scavenge parts for expansion. If purchasing more of the 1/2 inch line, don't even bother with the stiff stuff, get some that has some flexibility. Exception might be if you were tying it every couple feet like in a greenhouse. Somewhere in the system you need a strainer. 500 to 1000 microns is enough. Even little bits of garden debris will plug an emitter or a junction somewhere and then you'll have to disassemble a bunch of stuff to find the problem. YES, attaching anything to 1/4" hose is a serious pain. Try boiling water to soften the 1/4" branch line. I used a small camp stove to keep water boiling. Also, needlenose pliers are your friend. You can use one arm to open up the 1/4" hose a little bit.

This is my first time ever setting up any kind of irrigation system for my garden. I have a 16x16 fenced-in area with four 2x4 foot raised beds. I had no issues setting everything up The quarter inch tubing was soft enough that I didn't have any issues getting it connected. I wish it would have came with a few more drip emitters as that's pretty much all I'm using but otherwise this kit has everything you need plus some extras. So so much extra quarter inch tubing for future projects. I connect this to a garden hose which is connected to my outdoors spigot by the house. I did purchase a backflow preventer and a down regulator. No issues with hoses popping off with this set up

The overall value of the tubing is the best part of this kit, though it is not as durable as rainbird, raindrop or orbit brands. I accidently punctured the tubing multiple times just adjusting th online when I had it laid out. The 3/4-1/2 reducers cross thread no matter what you do, so some silicone based glue or PVC pipe glue is recommended. There is no pressure regulator with this kit, it's absolutely necessary as without it every connection leaked. The spray nozzles (small, inline) do not adjust well. You either get a concentrated spray area (not the 3' diameter they claim) or it's loose enough to leak from the T-joint. The two staked sprinklers (bubbler, umbrella) state they are adjustable from 0-18.5 gal/min. They are not. You can adjust the spray throw, but they are on or off. I measured the water at the lowest setting and it was still in the 18g/m range. The length of the hoses is great, I have 10,000 sqft lot, and I was able to run a central main line and 4 primary lines off of it, watering 4 garden boxes, 3 herb boxes, and 20 additional plants. However, this would not have worked with the provided sprinklers. I had thought ahead and purchased a RAINBIRD repair/expansion kit that came with over 30 drippers and an additional 100' of .25in tubing and splitters. If I did it again, I'd go all rainbird or one of the others.
