Sprinkler system advice
I have an 18ft x 44ft patch of grass that I'd like to run a very basic sprinkler system for. I'd like to run PVC under ground to 3 heads. I'd like to buy a timer and hook the pvc straight up to the timer with a small hose. My water pressure is about 60 psi. Would I be able to run all 3 heads at the same time on 3/4'' pvc lines and get an 18ft radius of coverage?

Whether or not you can cover your yard with three heads depends both on your water pressure and flow volume. Without knowing both it can't be calculated. 18' radius (36' diameter) is quite large for a residential system and I doubt you will be able to run all three at the same time, especially if feeding them from a 3/4" line.
