Good morning folks,
I would like to install a poor man's sprinkler since I don't have any grass right now. It's bare soil. I call it poor man's because the sprinkler valve is removable and is only hooked to a spigot outside. But I was thinking of putting the pipe and the sprinkler head permanently but leaving them in the ground. I'm thinking of burrying them like 8-10" below. I'm in Chicago. Will winter break the pipe? I think the material is different from pvc sched 40. It's the one that doesn't crack even if you fold it.
Thanks!
