Abstract

An irrigation gravel guard is disclosed comprising a ring shaped support having a substantially conical shaped screen means secured thereto and extending therefrom. One end of the screen means is open and is secured to the ring shaped support by welding or the like. The other end of the screen means is rolled or crimped upon itself to substantially close the other end thereof except for the perforations extending therethrough. An extension screen for use with the gravel guard is also disclosed and comprises a pair of spaced apart ring shaped supports having a truncated conical shaped screen means secured thereto and extending therebetween. The extension may be welded to the end of the gravel guard so as to effectively increase the over-all length thereof.
