[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Drainage for gutters?  You can get anyone with a digger and a bit of skill to do that - just use smoothwalled PVC not the black corrugated "drain" pipe that silts up.[/quote]

WRONG!

Use the black corrugated flex pipe. That's exactly what it was designed for.

Rigid, white PVC is NOT designed to be used as gutter drains buried under soil. [/quote]

Huh? New poster, not sure wtf you're talking about. Only a moron would bury black corrugated flex pipe instead of pvc (I know.. there are a lot of morons out there).

Sch40 pvc is the way to go for buried drain pipes. Anyone who says to bury black corrugated pipe Id kindly say thank you and show the door. I remember the story my hardscape guy was telling me about a house in Mclean. Previous contractor buried the downspouts under the patio from the house next to the pool, and guess what happened? It collapsed and stopped draining. Only way to fix that is rip up sections of the patio.. So, by all means, if you want a half ass solution, use black corrugated pipe..[/quote]
