* (1) 50 foot black rubber memory-flex irrigation hose. | |||
* (16) DIG 12", 2 GPH mister end piece with memory-flex tubing (available from [https://www.homedepot.com/p/DIG-2-GPH-Mister-with-Memory-Flex-Tubing-7760F/204758539 Home Depot: Model #7760F], see photo to right). | |||
* (1) 25 PSI ¾" aerator hose nozzle attachment. | |||
* (1) ½" black hose end cap. | |||
* Drill with drill bits. | |||
==== Directions ==== | |||
Cut black rubber hose to length of canopy interior plus one leg {40 feet+ 10 feet'= 50 | |||
feet). | |||
a. Do not need to add any on/off valves to the hose. Valves actually makes the hose | |||
more complicated to use because it's one more thing that needs to be checked | |||
when water isn't coming out of the hose. | |||
2. Using the power drill, drill ~16 small holes for nozzles into the black hose every ~1.5 | |||
feet. Start with a small bit size and if the nozzle attachment still doesn't fit, make the | |||
hole slightly bigger. Be careful not to drill out the other side. Leave a "tail" at one end | |||
(no nozzle attachments inserted) to drop down to the ground, which will be the end that | |||
attaches to the hose connected to the bib. | |||
3. Using the "DIG 2 GPH Mister with Memory-Flex Tubing", insert the pointy non-nozzle | |||
end into the drill hole. | |||
