My ferns are “ok” but I know they could be better. They get watered fairly regularly because they are by the sprinklers but I am wondering if it’s too hot or there’s too much sun?

That's a parlor palm, not a fern. It wants indirect light, and doesn't tolerate heat or cold. It wants room temperature
