Can you get flexible gutter pipes/underground pipes?
I have a small front garden in a victorian cottage on farmland with no
rainwater drains, soakaways or anywhere that one could be placed. I have a downpipe terminating in a shoe that needs extending to drain away from the house. Using a straight gutter length to the farm track outside my house would have to go through the gate. A flexible pipe that I could angle through the garden and out the opposite corner would be ideal if such a thing exists? |

Take a peek at http://www.burdens.co.uk/ Usually quite friendly advice given at your local depots. |

Usually you have to fiddle about with 100 (or 82mm) and use either a universal angle joint (adjustable) or random other angles until you get where you are going. 110mm will allow some curvature over a long length, but not a lot. |

You might need to add a rodding point but that shouldn't be difficult.

The two went together - you have a garden, ergo you have somewhere a
soakaway could be placed, making your posting contradictory (I think he was trying to say :o) ). Circumlocution rules. -- Yes but........ I've read that a soakaway has to be at least 5m from house. Garden is 3.5m long. Outside garden is farmer's track, main access in use night and day owned by him - I cant dig that up so no place for soakaway. Ipso facto. :) |

The OP said later his garden is 3.5m long. I don't know the recommended distance but I thought a few metres away was wise and that's cutting it fine. Cheers Tim |
