I may just go with a 4" perforated pipe, but wrap it

We have a lot of sand here, thus, the cleanout.



Steve,

Today I saw a French drain being put around a basement ( Hendersen,

They used a product, just a fabric sleeve slide over the pipe. It came
in a 100' role. I thought is was a nice job....
