Excellent - the supply house will be very helpful. Remember - get the staples with the ROUND tops....not square.
Also, the 1/2" is standard in the landscape business. It's used all over the world. The company who first got it started was called Netafim. I just happen to prefer the Rainbird brand tubing.
The 1/4" tubing is sometime used for small planters and potted stuff - not so much for landscaping. Too small.
Also, I never liked figured 8-ing the tubing because that makes it cross over itself. I prefer no crossing over. All tubing in direct contact with earth.
Just my preference.
Best and good luck!
