I have an older valve box that was installed like this. Even though the pipe holes aren't that big, they allowed lots of dirt to enter over time and now all of the rocks inside my valve box are a dirt/rock mixture. This makes it very difficult when it is time to replace a valve.
Thanks for your feedback. All the 4-sides of the valve box has predefined cutting areas where the wall is thinnest and cutting can be very precise and easy. The strudy support angles give anyhow high resistance to loads.

As a 15 year sprinkler business owner it is absolutely idiotic to install with small gravel. Why? When you repair a valve that has some water left in the line where do you think those little rocks go when you have the valves disassembled? Yep right into the pipe. HD weed mat works just fine and keeps the ground rodents out as well. Clean as can be!
Hello, thanks for your comment. HD weed mat is a good option too, but the main reason for having gravel over weed mat is that this option increases drainage. Furthermore, using big gravel can prevent pipe occlusion. Thanks!
So having 15 years of experience is a reason to call someone an idiot instead of rightfully assuming that not everyone knows as much as you do with 15 years of experience

I live how the cutting of the hole is so perfect in real life it is not
Thanks for your feedback.

@@ISEontheweb I’m going to guess John was talking about the hole in the ground.
What else would you expect in a marketing video?
Hello Does anyone make valve boxes that lock and require a key to open or remove? Thanks!
Hi, yes we do. Our range does include locking kit to avoid act of vandalism
I’m going to invent one that has pepper spray so nobody can mess with it heheh
Can't make out the name of the cutters. "You just need a pair of" ... sec-a-tairs? Sec-a-turs?

@@artymunoz5060 the installation process is idiotic. Not calling the installer an idiot.
It seems pretty easy to not get rocks in the pipe.
Off with the music!
