Sprinkler Spacing Calculator
Calculate the optimal sprinkler spacing, number of sprinklers, and coverage area for your irrigation system.
How to Use the Sprinkler Spacing Calculator
- Enter the radius of one sprinkler (m).
- Enter the desired overlap percentage (%, default 60).
- Enter the total irrigation area (m²).
- Click Calculate to get spacing and number of sprinklers.

Formula
Spacing (m) = 2 × radius × (1 − overlap% / 100). Number of sprinklers = area / (π × radius²).

Why is sprinkler overlap important?
50-60% overlap ensures uniform water distribution and eliminates dry spots between sprinklers.
What is the typical sprinkler radius?
Residential sprinklers: 3-6 m, agricultural sprinklers: 15-30 m, long-range guns: up to 100 m.
How should I account for wind?
In windy conditions, reduce sprinkler spacing by 20-30% and orient rows perpendicular to the wind.
