Irrigation design
Hallo
I live in Poland and by coincidence I came accross your forum on the irrigatin system and I got inspired by what you write so I decided to set up such an irrigation system in my garden. After having read numerous publications on how to make an irrigation system on one's own I designed the project presented below:
PLease give me some pieces of advice what needs to be changed and what errors I made. I wonder if the number of 37 sprinkles for the area of 4300 square feet is sufficient. In case of any doubts feel free to ask me for further clarification.
P.S. here is the link to the pdf file of better quality#mce_temp_url#

Thank you for hints 
And now "technical" question - the size of PE pipe is outer diameter, and size of barbed polly fiting (for this pipe) is outer too or mayby inner? eg. PE pipe is 1" - couple polly for this pipe is 1" or 3/4"?
Thanks in advance
PS. on Polish "tutorials" nobody writes about backflow

In The United States we pretty much stick to the IPS or Iron Pipe Size. I am not sure who can answer your questions
on the pipe sizing. If elevation is not an issue you could leave your valves the same and install a pressure vacuum
before any of your valves. The only catch is that you have to install it 12" taller than any of your sprinkler heads.
Good Luck

Thank you hi.todd
1. To make the backflow prevention I have only to change the valves from SRV-101G to ASV-101 (if I decide to prevent by using antisyphon)?
2. Maybe sombody could help me to choose the body for MP Rotator - Hunter PROS-04 or RainBird 1804. (I decided to buy sprinklers, bodies for them, controler and rain sensor in www.sprinklerwarehouse.com - it's about half price than in Poland)
3. What shall I do if I want to instal automatic valve for winterization shall I use only one pc of "end lateral line drain" (http://www.sprinklerwarehouse.com/Blazing-END-OF-LATERAL-LINE-DRAIN-p/hp1600.htm) for one zone (totaly I will need 3 pcs for my design — see pic from my first post) or maybe several for one zone - e.g. for each end of pipe (totaly about 16 pcs). And now again about the sizes od pipes - this "end of line drain" is 1" - will it fit to 1" PE tubing (http://www.sprinklerwarehouse.com/14-011-Polyethylene-Tubing-1-p/14-011.htm) or to 1 1/4"?

(btw. in Poland we use inches in pipes too!, not metric!)
