I am wondering if it would be more economical to run a main line of about 500 feet, using some sort of plastic pipe (cannot remember the name of the current most common), and then run my hose branches from that ? *(The main line would have to lay on the ground, through the woods). * *Whatever I use, I need to be able to drain the line during winters, but I suppose I could get fittings for this equipped with a drain screw or valve or something.

The stuff I'm thinking of is 4" aluminum and has a coupler for a sprinkler at each joint. * It usually came in *30' or 40' sections. * You could just pull it apart to drain it or put a valve at a joint now and then. * One drawback might be its temptation to thieves. Good Lord. *That stuff would now have antique value wouldn't it Dean?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Used all the time in farm irrigation.
