Custom Chopper collaborates on Baseline's new sprinkler controller line
23 Mar, 2010 LM Direct!
MERIDIAN, ID — When Baseline wanted to create some excitement about its new controller lineup, it turned to Custom Bike Builder Chris Olson. Little did the team know just how edgy the art and design of custom cycles really are.
What resulted may be the "sickest" sprinkler controller in the world.
"We make the coolest irrigation controllers on the planet, but they basically look like circuit-breaker boxes," said Jon Peters, Director of Sales at Baseline. "We are very excited to break out and make a product that people will be proud to hang on their garage wall."
Featuring artwork suitable for a custom chopper, the Baseline X-Series Custom Cabinets feature not-so-subtle motifs in flames & skulls, with an undertone of gothic lettering and the Maltese Cross.
"I got really excited about this project," said Olson. "It was way outside of my comfort zone, and something I knew nothing about. My vision was of water and fire - a box engulfed in flames with skull heads shadowed behind the flames. "

While the artwork may or may not be to everyone's taste, Baseline's irrigation controllers are no joke. Featuring in-ground soil moisture sensors, Baseline's leading-edge controllers can reduce outdoor water use by 40% or more, and result in healthier, better-looking landscapes.
Good for your plants, good for the planet, and now not so hard on the eyes.
