Ashes Fever + Backyard Fun

The Ashes are here, and nothing says Aussie summer like backyard cricket. But what makes the perfect backyard cricket pitch? A lush, green lawn that’s ready for action. That’s where Philmac comes in – not only can you use our fittings to build durable wickets, but you can also keep your backyard looking its best with smart irrigation solutions.

Why Backyard Cricket Is an Aussie Icon

Backyard cricket is more than a game – it’s a tradition. From improvised rules to epic family rivalries, it’s the heart of summer. And with the Ashes heating up, there’s no better time to bring that spirit home.

Step 1: Keep Your Lawn Green with Philmac Irrigation

Before you set up the stumps, make sure your pitch is ready. Philmac’s range of poly fittings, valves, and joiners make irrigation easy:

• Connect garden hoses and sprinklers for even coverage.

A well-irrigated lawn means fewer dry patches and a better playing surface for those backyard Tests.
