In this video I will make a suggestion of the best place to install an isolation valve for your sprinkler system. When you are installing valves that are far away from the shutoff valve, it is a good idea to add one close to the zone valves you are installing. This will make it a lot easier to work on them later.

When installing a valve box on an irrigation system, I always like to use the approach of bigger is better. Install a bigger valve box over the sprinkler valves of your irrigation system to give you more room to work on the valves, if you have to do a sprinkler valve repair like change out a solenoid or diaphragm, and it will also give you enough room to turn the valve on manually.
