Flex-Drain 51110 Flexible/Expandable Landscaping Drain Pipe, Solid, 4-Inch by 25-Feet

Durable and functional. About the best I can say is that these help up to a recent flood we had. Over a ton of debris ended up in our back yard and smashed a lot of our stuff. These actually managed to survive. Once we dug them out of the sticks, branches, containers and everything else in the back yard we were able to set them up again.I have to admit only one of these was used as intended. The second one is currently being used as a ferret toy. She loves it so I did not have the heart to take it away from her. The neat thing about it is that I can change it up every so often and it is a whole new experience for her.

We bought a farm house in a very wet area of Sonoma County last summer and we wanted to keep water away from our house foundation. Our downspouts were pouring out right next to the house. When we had our gutters cleaned and repaired, the contractor suggest we find these online since they are far less expensive than he would be able to sell for. We ordered 8 of them - one for each downspout. So far we have had 4 huge rain storms and 19 inches of rain - they work very well and have kept the area around our house much drier. Very easy to install and they stay on without having to screw in.

Decent quality but flimsy

As advertised

I want to put a big lighted sign In from of My house that says "HOME OF THE AMAZING FREEING WATER LINES and then charge People to come and see It. But Is truly amazing that My Water line can freeze up In 3 hours but takes 24 hours to make Ice cubes In My freezer, If only I could harness Its power.Many years ago I was using white PVC pipe line many People do and every Winter had to make several trips to the hardware store to replace the busted PVC pipe but I bought some Sears rubber Garden hose and left It outside with the Water on but It did Not but until the temperature got down to 35 below zero F so I redone My house plumbing with Sears rubber Garden hose but It sill froze up but Not bust, so I had to find away to stop It from freezing up but that Electric heat tape Is expensive and prone to fail Not to mention dangerous that Electric heat cable develops hot spots yeah In the middle of the night It caught on fire and If the Water froze closer to the meter then I would be looking for a new home and Motorcycle when It burnt though the line the Water put the fire out but It was a big fire.So far the best solution I have found Is to cover the Water lines with drain pipe then use a hairdryer to blow hot Air down the line. I have tried other things as dryer vent hose and It would just fall apart It tried 3 In diameter RV drain line It fell a part plus could Not get hairdryer nozzle In line only 4 Inch and larger diameter works. The best and toughest flexible drain line I have found Is at Lowes (Lowes does Not deliver drain line by ups) but when I was at Lowes I did Not know I had a choice between drain lines with holes and solid without hoes so I bout the drain lines with holes, obvious without holes Is going to work better.This drain line Is second toughest to Lowes flexible drain line but this drain line collapses which means It will store In a smaller place as the luggage department on a Grey Hound bus If You ever want to take It with You, I also have a Ice Shelter a collapsible house that I can take with Me on a Grey Hound bus,You must be very strong to stretch this drain line out there needs to be a tool to do that. If running Water lines through If putting a tennis ball on the end of the line will make It easier to thread through. Also using zip ties You can make multiple connections It will be somewhat Air tight but Not Water tight.

AWESOME!

These are kind of a pain to stretch out, but they work fine. Pay $27 for 25 feet. Decided I needed more and price was now $35. That’s irritating.

I decided to start my own water collection system and purchased some rain barrels and this flex tubing. I needed to reroute some of my existing rain gutters and drains to my barrel locations. This flex hose allowed me the adjustability I need for my new system. The plastic is very thick and strong so I have no doubts that it will hold its form over time. Expanding and flexing the tubing into position is fairly tough in a good way because it means it will stay in place. It was easy to cut through so I didn't have to play around with a lot of excess tubing. I've had the tubing in use for one full rainy season and it worked perfectly with no problems. There haven't been any signs of wear or weathering.
