How to build a simple irrigation headgate for your ditch. Hopefully the lessons learned here will help you in your next project. Thanks for watching.

Lessons Learned
1. Wider is better. Extended the wings well into the bank
2. Extend the culvert. The longer the culvert beyond the headgate, the more you can bury reducing the chance of by-pass and washout.
3. Backfill with good soil, not rocks!
