Many moons ago my across the road neighbor that I didn't see eye to eye with would reverse out of his driveway and reverse up on my lawn damaging my geared sprinklers in the process, no sooner I had replaced it he would do it again (not worth confronting him, being a mental case), so I made a mould to do a concrete reinforced sprinkler base to bury, made using a off cut of PVC pipe, a plastic cool drink bottle and a home made wooden form to pour the concrete in, along with a premade section of retic pipe with a replaceable screw in section (just incase), I have not lost a sprinkler in my front lawn for years, now I even drive over them myself
.
I made them so the green bunnings plastic surround fits in the top and level with the lawn, they sit in the concrete form low enough to make it difficult to remove with the top on, but pop up high enough to do the lawn.
