Gilmour Metal Tripod Base Impulse Sprinkler
Best heavy-duty sprinkler for large lawns needing customizable, elevated coverage.
This is the heavy-duty workhorse for anyone tired of flimsy plastic sprinklers that tip over at the first breeze. Its telescoping tripod and all-metal build offer serious stability and reach, though you sacrifice the convenience of a compact, stowable unit for that rugged, professional-grade performance.
