6" pvc pipe

Hi. can anyone help, need to buy some 6"/150mm pvc pipe to make bens new blades. I have looked on b&q web site & a few other sites but not having much luck. ( I live in the uk )

Hi buddy
Have a look at your local builders merchant, the best one that I found its a triple wall pipe they are orange colour, hope that helps, prices usually for a 3 metre length of the pipe around £20, but sometimes they have offcuts and you can get all that you need for a £10, or better still have a look at building sites and skips and give the fellas a fiver for a drink and they would usually let you take the offcuts that are waste.

super windy

Try looking in the proper building merchants/warehouses such as Keyline,Grahams etc - there is some pretty big pipe available. B&Q etc are only really DIY stores and as such wont have real stuff. 4" pipe still works ok though, not quite as well though.

woops superwindy beat me to it :)

thanks guys, will have a look tomorrow,the other thing is the orange color pipe ok I see a lot of you are using it,what about uv, wont this afect it

I got a meter for free. I went to a local housing development and just asked the one with the tie

Try to get there when they are doing the initial groundwork, because thats when the drainage goes in.

Hi Pintail

Do not use pipe, try circular gutter section instead. It is very strong but does flex, also there is less work as the trailing edge is already straight.

Just catching up on the latest threads.

My local B&Q does do the normal 6" soil pipe. £11 or £12 from memory for a 3M length. Maybe its just the bigger B&Qs though.

Cheers
