Sprinkler system good for long & narrow planter boxes?

I am looking for some advice what I can use for my situation.

I have 2 planter boxes in front of the house that are APX 15-20' long each but are only 2' or less in width.

I am looking to make my own little sprinkler system that will connect to a garden hose or a outdoor spigot.

Are there any sprinkler heads that have or can be adjusted to a pattern that will be good for my situation? long and narrow pattern?

Thanks

There are heads that will do long and narrow rectangular patterns and they sorta work. I don't know of any that will do such a narrow strip but if designing a new system I would avoid them. Instead I would consider a drip system or a series of multiple emitters that have a short range. You'll have more control over where the water goes and if you're not trying to shot it 10' through the air wind have less affect on where the water goes and it will help minimize evaporation.

A soaker hose or a drip system. Either can be hooked to a hose bib. Here is a hose may come in shorter lengths.
