Why we are thinking about next season now

It may feel like the next irrigation season is a long time off, however, if you are looking at new infrastructure such as a pipeline, pivots or linears it is time to put into motion your plans for the next season!

At Agline we recommend allowing 26 weeks or 6 months to design, manufacture, install and commission a new fully customised irrigation system. Here is why:

Step 1: Design and Pricing - We find that an average of 6 weeks is needed to complete this stage. This allows for site visits, multiple revisions to initial plans and proper investigation of all available options in view of selecting the most efficient irrigation design that suits your lifestyle.

Step 2: Manufacturing - We have worked with our partners at RKD to reduce the lead time on a fully custom pivot or linear system down to 6 weeks.

Step 3: Shipping - We like to allow 8 weeks of shipping time from Europe for pivots and linears. This ensures that your project is less likely to be held up by shipping delays.

Step 4: Install - It takes on average 4 weeks to build and install your pivot once it has been delivered. This time frame varies depending on the size of your machine so speak to our team about how much time you should allow for this step for your unique project.

Step 5: Commissioning - We like to allow some time to commission the machine and train you how to use it, therefore we add an additional 2 weeks to our project time to focus on making sure you are happy with the machine and confident in using it.

So here we are at the end of the 21-22 season to have your irrigation up and running by October 2022 get in contact with us today. Each project has its own individual requirements so when you speak to our team about your project we will give you a timeline specific to your project.
