I have a TORO system. One sprinkler head is installed at the intersection of the curb (about 4" high) and where our driveway meets the curb. We're very careful to avoid it when driving into our driveway. Unfortunately, I cannot say the same thing about other people that occasionally use our driveway to turn around and what not. The head is not damaged (yet) but it pops out at a slight angle so I think it's been run over (not while sprinkling of course, while in the ground).
I'm trying to find something to protect this head so my careless neighbors cannot damage it. One thought I had (an extreme one) is to get a fairly large piece of 1/8" sheet steel and have a piece cut that I can wedge on my side of the curb. I'm not sure it would work. It would have to go quite deep into the ground (a foot?) and maybe even need something to anchor it so if a car hit it, the car would be bounced back. Another possibility would be a few sticks of rebar. Neither sounds very aesthetically appealing in front of my house.
My favorite idea would be one of those "do not back up severe tire damage" tire puncturing contraptions. [

All kidding aside, does anyone make something for this purpose?
Thanks in advance!
Halo.
