I have taken out a couple of old decaying half barrels that held a few flowers and a sprinkler head which waters a diameter of about 12 feet. I would like to replace the current inverted U (1" PVC coming out of the ground with short 3/4" riser sprinkler head sprouting at the top) and replace it with a simple and longer 3/4" riser. Any nifty ideas for hiding this? Don't want another barrel and the surrounding plantings are not dense or tall enough (nor will they ever be) to serve as camouflage.

Thanks

PS The sprinkler works better than drip for this application and I have too much experience putting my shovel through swing pipe and drip tubing.
