How to put a logo on plastic surface?

What depth should I put black corrugated plastic drainage pipe at?

  • I need to improve surface drainage at my house. I bought some of the basins with grilles and pop-up drains, and a roll of 4" black corrugated plastic non-perforated pipe. I am trying to figure out what depth I should put the plastic pipe at though. This entire run that I want to do initially is down a steep hill. (I'm putting it in because the hill is getting eroded from surface drainage, and after this drain is in place, I can then add gutters and downspout drains from the house. I am worried about the corrugated pipe getting crushed from either too much pressure from dirt above it or from me walking over the surface when I mow the lawn. Is this a valid concern? Or do I have to do something special to protect it? This is not a high traffic area, since its on too steep of a hill to make the area usable for much, but I do have to mow it. I was planning on putting 2 of the 4" lines right next to each other, since I don't think one will be enough to handle the flow of water through this area. (when it rains, its like a small river because I'm getting a lot of runoff from higher properties, and my driveway is directing it all to one side of my house)

  • Answer:

    you need a wider pipe, at least 6 inches,better 9. The pipe will have to be bedded in gravel or as Americans call it, river rock.Put a layer in the bottom of the trench, instal the pipe then cover with gravel by at least 3 inches, The bottom of the trench needs to be at least 24 inches deep

We use the corrugated with the holes and we have it down to just where we can see the holes on top.
