OK thanks. Going to assume the pipe that feeds your house (& current hose bibs) is PVC, based on what you posted.
If so, in order to install additional hose bibs, you could proceed in this fashion:
1. Turn water off at valve mentioned above. And back on when finished with job.
2. Cut PVC pipe and add a tee at a location that makes the most sense - where you can run additional PVC lines out to desired additional hose bibs.
3. The above method would also be used, should you desire to add conventional sprinklers.
4. The work with PVC pipe and fittings is very straight forward. I won't get into that at this point. But seems like this would be the best way for you to achieve your goals.
5. Assuming this is the right choice for you, you would ideally end up with additional hose bibs, from which you could add some kind of sprinkler device.
That decision really depends on things I have no knowledge of, based just on what's been posted.
You'd have to do a sketch and post it showing a schematic plus dimensions for me to add more commentary.
6. The last consideration would be to add some kind of timer(s). They make these that can run off batteries or you could use a simple "egg timer" type.
Of course, conventional sprinkler systems have timers that are more sophisticated and run off 110v house current. Those types operated solenoid valves. This type of system is ideal but I'm not sure that's what you are looking for.
Let me/us know...thanks!
