π± What type of drip system do you need?
Choose the system that best matches your garden. You can only pick one β they use different components and installation methods.
Beds & Borders
Drip Line
Claber drip line runs along planting beds, borders, hedges and vegetable patches. Precision emitters deliver water directly to the root zone. Ideal for rows of plants.
Pots & Planters
Dripper System
Individual drippers (emitters) deliver precise water to each pot, container, hanging basket, or raised bed. Perfect for mixed collections with different watering needs.
Drip line: You'll tell us the total length of your beds/borders. We'll calculate the right length of porous drip hose, mainline pipe, connectors, and a timer. Low pressure required β works well off most garden taps.
π§ Water source & pressure
Drip irrigation is a low-pressure system β ideal for UK garden taps. Let's confirm your setup.

πΏ Garden tap (mains)
Mains tap β perfect for drip irrigation. UK mains pressure (1.5β4 bar) is ideal. Drip systems typically require only 0.5β1.5 bar, so a pressure reducer may be needed if your tap exceeds 3 bar.

γ°οΈ Single zone or multiple zones?
A single zone runs everything from one timer outlet β simpler and lower cost. Multiple zones let you water different areas (greenhouse, borders, raised beds) on independent schedules, or when the total length exceeds the flow capacity of a single zone.
Single zone
One timer outlet feeds the whole system via T-connectors. Simplest and most cost-effective. Best when total hose fits within your flow capacity.
Multiple zones
Separate areas (e.g. greenhouse, raised beds, borders) each get their own zone with independent watering schedules. Requires a 2, 3 or 4-outlet timer.
γ°οΈ Your drip line zone
Enter the details for your single zone. The system will run all drip line from one timer outlet.
β±οΈ Watering schedule preference
Watering frequency
Session duration
Water early morning (5β7am) for best results β reduces evaporation and fungal issues. Adjust session duration to soil type: sandy soils need shorter, more frequent sessions; clay soils benefit from longer, less frequent watering.
