looking for 10 or 12 inch drain pipe

10 or 12 inch you can go with HDPE or CMP. Possibly even PVC? But if you have equipment, you might want to price 12" RCP. You'd be surprised how cheap you can score 12" RCP sometimes since it's not DOT compliance. Don't know what you are doing with it but do keep in mind, anything inside a public right-of-way requires 15" min.

I'm not sure what all that means? I know what pvc is but not rcp and the others lol sorry and I'm just piping a ditch beside my house so doesn't have to be pass dot

Braxton I called walls they don't have any in stock and lowes beat there price on it by a few dollars but still it's $151 per 20 feet
 
Sorry,
RCP - Reinforced Concrete Pipe
CMP - Corrugated Metal Pipe
HDPE - High Density Polyethylene

For your purpose, you can use anything... And yes, the cheaper price of RCP has to be offset with cheap equipment.

I built an underground drainage system around my house where I had one run in the back I knew had potential to change in the future. So I dug out a clean square ditch and placed 8" cinder block on both sides and covered with 4" block laid on it's side that I had left over from a job. And the bottom is about 1-2" gravel just for erosion. Plans is to add on one day. It's been 5 years since and I had to tap into it for another downspout this summer and the drainage looked like it did when I installed it.

So many options. I would be sure it's accessible every 75-100' though for future headaches. Debris, small animals, or small children. :eek:
