Thanks, OP. I managed to snag one at my local Lowe's despite incorrect information from two employees there.

One out of five stores here with 21 in stock for $5.17. Good deal, if you need something like this. Can't think of any places I could use these without having to dig up the yard/soil and then make a french drain at the end.

There really just needs to be a separate category for ymmv stuff. I can't even start to imagine how much time I've wasted at lowes in the last year looking for this stuff

What size is the pipe?
Does it completely drain or keep standing water?

Thanks

Saw in store earlier, but passed for now. The "pipe" is actually more like a corrugated tube - it's 2" dia. Where it comes into the basin, there is a slight lead-in to help prevent standing water, but I can absolutely see how water could stand inside. I'm torn between this route, or using the transitions that go right into the ground and tie to 4" drain tube. These have their place, but I'm still on the fence as to if I want to use them for our house. They feel smaller and less rugged than I had hoped.

I covered mine in river rock. Seems to drain well, hides it, and keeps bugs out as far as I can tell.

It had a 2 inch corrugated pipe inside as packaged. I have not used, and am no engineer, but plan to install at a slight grade so not really worried about standing water. I'm trying to move downspout runoff farther away from my foundation. For 5$ is a no Brainer. I just saw at home depot for over $20.

I have the same dilemma trying to decide which route to take.

By the way at gravity pressure flow for 2" is 55 gpm vs 4" is 240gpm

This appeared to be an easier solution, but looks like doing a direct feed into a 4" pipe would be more effective solution.

Please do let me know what you decide, and why.

Appreciate the help. Thanks.
