Galvanized Watering
Posted in Garden Antiques on 01/02/2009 11:21 pm by adminWhat is the correct sequence of steps for removing galvanized sprinkler pipes?
I'm redoing my front lawn - have removed the shrubs and killed the lawn. I will be replacing the 50-year old glavanized pipe sprinkler system. I've decided to do some of the demolition myself. What is the sequence of steps I should follow in digging out and removing the old pipes? The shut-off valve at the house is for the water main, not the sprinklers.
How deep are the pipes? It would be allot easier to leave them. If you really want to dig them up, start at the house and follow the pipes as you dig. If you are installing a new system and can use any of the trenches for it, do so. Cut the pipe into lengths that you will be able to get rid of. I recommend using a sawzall, but a hacksaw will work.
