What does it do?

A classic looking garden sprinkler from Rehau.

It has the ability to cover up to 520m².
An affordable sprinkler that pokes into the ground, so it wont blow away.

The only downside is that the spike is not as robust as you would probably like it to be.

(So you need to be a bit gentle with it.)
It takes a bit of getting used to – the instruction card is not the most informative.

But when you have worked it out it is a fantastic little gadget.
You are able to set the spray angle at 90, 180, 270 or 360 degrees, which is super useful.

Especially if you are wanting to be in one area of the garden whilst the sprinkler is in use (and not get soaked!)
The water flow is good, regardless of the water pressure.

You can also use your regular Hozelock connectors with it.

What does it do?

The Oasis Ahead sprinkler gives pulsating water coverage with up to 360 degrees rotation.

This sprinkler comfortable covers the largest area in our comparison list.

Ranging from 371m² to 557m² depending on water pressure.

You can easily set the distance you want the water to reach and add diffusion to the water streams using the diffusion pin.
It can be used, like most other water sprinklers, for simply watering your lawn or flower beds.

Or as part of an irrigation system, or as a fun summer splashing activity for children or water loving dogs.
One great little features is the ‘connector thread’ on the unit, which allow you to connect multiple sprinklers.
The base unit is robust and heard wearing, no flimsy plastic in sight.

Just the heavy duty stuff with rubber grips on both sides.

If there is one downside to this sprinkler, its that it can be noisy.

As the water pulsates out, the back splash plate makes affably loud clicking noise.

(Which to be fair, is a pretty much standard thing with this type of sprinkler.)

But worth mentioning just in case you would want to use the sprinkler whilst in the garden.
This sprinkler system also has a shut off valve on the actual sprinkler unit.

8. Silverline 8-Pattern Dial Sprinkler

What does it do?

The Silverline, considering its very budget appeal, is packed with quite a few features.

How long it will last is another question.

And the sprinkler you buy will most likely end up ‘somewhere’ in the shed over winter… this one might be just be for you!

Pretty impressive!

The spray patterns are:

• single jet
• double jet
• small circle mist
• large circle spray
• large circle mist
• large circle spray
• small semi circle
• large semi circle

That all sounds pretty confusing but if you look at the top of the sprinkler, there is a convenient little symbol code for each setting, that logical describes the setting.

It is not going to be the very best sprinkler in the world at this price.

But will certainly keep you amused for a while playing with all the different settings.

It doesn’t cover a huge area, so if you have the patience to pull it around the garden every now and again then you will be well away.

• Coverage: around 3m²
• Dimensions: Very small and round.
• Weight: 154g

What does it do?

The Greenkey sprinkler looks high quality straight away thanks to its robust looking solid metal base.
It is kind of vintage looking, like an old piece of farm machinery.

The upside: there’s no spike that goes into the ground that could snap.

The downside: If you accidentally kick it with bare feet you will regret it!!
