Where to get water/gas pipes

redser7

This seemed to be a good place to ask ...
I plan to build a polytunnel and need some flexible water or gas pipes (50mm interior) for the hoops. Something like the photo here ...

I'm in North Dublin. Any ideas where I could source something like that and how much they would be?

Thanks, I appreciate any advice.

You'll get them in most hardware/plumbing shops.

But keep in mind that plastic is plastic, it will shape with strain and temperature. I tried a bird netting with 1.25 inch heavy duty PET piping, similar to a poly tunnel but with netting. It did bend over with the wind, no sunshine was needed for this.
My garden has seaview, so perhaps a protected, sheltered spot is less likely to cause this type of trouble.

Good luck!

Your better of useing either

a. garden hose which i dont think is big enough

b. Foam pipe insulation.

The foam pipe insulation is the best one IMO.
