Sprinkler Key Hide – Secret Garden Key Stash

This model is designed to look like a common lawn sprinkler head while concealing a hidden storage compartment underneath.

The design consists of two parts:

• Sprinkler-style cap
• Ground spike with internal storage cavity

The cap screws onto the body using a G1 1/4 threaded connection and can be removed without tools. Inside is a spacious compartment suitable for many standard house, shed, and garden keys.

The pointed ground spike allows easy installation into soil. For best results, create a pilot hole first using a weed puller, screwdriver, or similar garden tool before inserting the spike.

The sprinkler appearance helps the container blend naturally into lawns, gardens, flower beds, and landscaped areas.
