First thing comes to mind, is sunlight and the UV rays. So,
what you use should be UV resistant.

White PVC tubing might work for a while.


I have black polypipe that's been in the sunlight for up to 20 years.
The biggest danger to my black polypipe has been from my garden fork and
frost popping the connectors off.

stored outside in the sun without damage from UV exposure. /quote

Some poly pipe can take it and some apparently can not.


It'd be as useless as tits on a man's back if it couldnt' be used out in the
sun in Australia.
