Croquet Court

Is there a low voltage product that pops up like a sprinkler head? I would like to light the court (40x50) close to ground level.

Re: Croquet Court

Yes, indeed. It's called a rising bollard. RUUD makes them, as well as others.

Re: Croquet Court

When we play croquet, you are lucky if it isn't dark AND raining. Only sissies would use pop up bollards!

Re: Croquet Court

Of course we are not opposed to standard field play, but we limit that to daytime:

Lucaya, actually. Probably the best resort at sucking money from the tourists in the Northern Hemisphere, and well worth it!

Re: Croquet Court

Those fixtures have been discontinued for some time now... Too many issues with reliability of the mechanism.
