Sprinkler Head Recommendations for long & skinny side yards

Hi All,

I'm working on slowly DIY-ing an irrigation system for my lawn and am getting a bit stumped by my side yard. It's essentially a 14ft by 67ft strip that butts up against the driveway/house/property line. I know I could theoretically accomplish this with small half circle sprayers along the outer perimeter, but by my math that's looking like as many as 20 heads to get a true head-to-head coverage - which seems kind of silly for a sub 1000sqft piece of land.

The rest of the system is currently RainBird, so I've got a slight advantage staying in that ecosystem, but I'm open to any solutions really.,

Maybe I am missing something, but that should be ten heads, five down each side. Fixed sprays, 4" or 6" depending on your turf type. You have multiple options as far as nozzles go. That will get you pretty close to a textbook installation.
