We needed some pasture sprinkler stands and lo and behold...we had two dead torchiere style lamps in the barn! These are great for this purpose because of their heavy weighted bottoms. Most of these style lamps have three tubes that connect. We found that one or two tubes is tall enough for our needs.

Signing UpStep 1Dismantling the lamp
The first thing you need to do is dismantle the lamp. This means removing all of the wiring. You will need to use AT LEAST the top tube portion as this has the connector bolt assembly already there because that was what was holding the lamp fixture on.
Unscrew each section and remove the wiring.
Decide on how tall you want the stand, reassemble the tubes making sure the top tube is on the top once again.

That's a great idea. We are looking to add sprinklers into our pastures, and are afraid of the goats to ruin them. Did you notice if you lose pressure?

We are on a private well so I have a certain order the sprinklers on the property go on. The sprinkler heads shown are "low pressure" heads. I actually got them at Walmart and Home Depot. It would all depend on what your pressure is like to begin with. I can run two sprinklers (shown) in the pasture and one small one on one of the lawns at the same time to even out the well pump and pressure, but that's my well and will likely differ with yours. As far as goats go, ours leave them alone. We have goats, llamas and a horse in the same pasture and so far no incidents. Glad the instructable was useful. :-)
