I designed the holes specifically for 3 mm screws, but outdoor deck screws should also fit perfectly. After growing tired of replacing my sprinklers every week after mowing my lawn, I decided to create these custom solutions myself. They make it significantly easier for the sprinklers to spray water and for the mower to spot them, reducing the risk of running them over. If the mower does accidentally hit a sprinkler, the blades will simply skip right over it without causing any damage. Notably, they can withstand 4 or 5 blade hits before breaking apart, but with some gentle heat and acetone, I'm able to repair them easily.
