The Internet advertises expandable pipes, e.g., 3' can expand to 12' and a
6' product can expand to 25'. *How do these work? *The extensions are

Thanks. *- - Jack


Lowes has shorter versions of these to attach to downspouts. Go play
with one. My primary concern is that it's much thinner. It will
crush easier.

If you are using perforated then just get 2 ten foot pieces and a
connector.

One of the main reasons to desire continuous is with solid pipe to
avoid root intrusion. With perforated it doesn't matter that you have
connectors.
