How to install pvc pipe for drainage step 1.
Using pvc pipe for gutters.
Lay the 2x4 next to the pipe.
In my wife s village near madang papua new guinea they always use pvc pipe for guttering on corrugated iron roofs.
Drill a hole at end end of the pipe and then angle a screw through the inside of the pipe into the 2x4 to anchor the pipe to the 2x4.
Install the gutter and run your 1 5 downspout with 90 degree or 45 degree depending on your configuration.
Tip for ripping pvc pipe on a table saw.
They say it can t be done but it sure can just watch and see.
Gutter downspout drainage is a very important aspect of any landscape drainage design.
Make sure the pipe and 2x4 are both resting on a flat surface.
They cut a narrow slit along the length of the pipe just wide enough for the corrugations to fit inside the pipe.
During a 1 rain event downspouts can drain 100 s of gallons of water.
The narrow strip is then cut into lengths and used to strap the gutter in position.
Then cut the top 1 3 to 1 2 of top of the pipe off.
A downspout would be very simple to make as well just simply glue in two end caps and a 3 x3 x1 5 tee to your 3 pvc pipe.
Begin at the very end of where the drainage will end and set the depth on the trencher to 16 inches.
