The Recycled Sprinkler

Rustic Salvage - the Sprinkler

I spotted this uniquely refurbished sprinkler in a greenhouse that was being rebuilt. It's a perfect example of someone being really creative - obviously the water pressure must have been too great, and the sprinkler too light, so to keep the stand upright, they added a bicycle sprocket to weigh it down. I love how this looks - it's not just a sprinkler anymore, it's a garden sculpture. Interestingly, it looks as though the size of the hole in the center of the sprocket is exactly right for the sprinkler to go through it.
