It isn't perforated in any way.
I'm not sure, but other older green ones I've had appeared to be faded, so I'm guessing they weren't UV treated.
Blue, you are correct. Once extended, it is simple to retract, though recompression requires some effort. But: I've never done that before, except when it was brand new and I was laying it down where I planned to leave it for good. I've had occasion (rarely) to move it because I needed it out of the way to drive a pickup truck or something over the area where it was laid, but I've found it much easier to simply grab the unattached end and drag it. Be aware that because I used plastic cable ties to attach this drain tubing to the downspouts and to tie several individual sections of this tubing together, my dragging technique only works for me. I hope you find this information useful.

There is a male present. They can be connected without purchasing anything else on the female end. Despite what many have said, I have about a dozen of these in various sizes, both solid and hollow. I've never bought anything to join them together because they're perforated. It is, however, a difficult task that necessitates a certain amount of strength and patience. The male has a nubby end, and it's not difficult to tell which is which. If you're trying to connect two sections that have been cut and are missing the factory end/s, you'll need a connector. These were reasonably priced and only took about 5-minutes to complete. bucks, and exactly what I needed to extend some lengths I'd attached to my garage gutters to direct water away from my covered firewood storage. Last year, I discovered that I wasn't getting it far enough away, and I ended up with a small pond, so I'm going to add another 8-foot pond this year. It gets well past the woods and into an irrigation canal by adding a few feet to the existing ones. These aren't the simplest to pull, but having someone hold one end while you pull on the other works. . . or simply attach it to an existing pipe and pull. It's very difficult to separate two lengths once they've been joined with factory ends, and if you put the male into the female with the flow of water, they don't leak. . . at least mine don't. They're attached to metal gutters and then to my pipe frame, which holds a pipe, so it's all downhill from there. I connected one of each of these to the existing 12-volt power supply. I had some foot pipes, and they keep the water out of the places I don't want it. I've got around 400-500 pieces. I buried a few feet of perforated pipe around my fruit trees and berry bushes so that I can run irrigation water through them during the summers and no longer trip in what were once open canals.
It is extremely popular among them.
These are fantastic! They fit perfectly when I connected them to a downspout adapter. The only criticism I have is that I wish the seller did not limit the number of items per order per buyer to three. I'm running out of options. Oh well, I'll have to pay three times as much somewhere else, but they'll get the job done. I'm not sure how well they'll hold up if buried beneath the ground because they're not as strong as regular corrugated drainage pipe. They connect to each other using male to female ends, eliminating the need for a coupler. Simple!.
It takes a lot of muscle to fully extend these, and they're not meant to be moved around a lot. I used one in the ferret cage and under the dresser after cutting it in half. I left one long enough to wrap around a chair, making a difficult-to-clean area less accessible. My son is a bit chunky, but he manages to get around just fine. These are great if you're looking for something sturdy.
I can save water, energy to pump the water, and shrubs I've planted around my home by extending my downspouts and perforating the pipe in strategic locations. These flexible pipes (both pre- and post-fabricated) are ideal for a variety of applications. perforated and solid) are of excellent quality and a good price. You can also "chain" them together and run them along your foundation, where the overhang of the house keeps your lawn/garden dry all year. When stretched out, the pleats, combined with a shallower angle of descent, slow the flow of water so that it does not cause as much erosion when it exits the end.
My ball python needed a tunnel, so I cut it down to size. He enjoys exploring his new hide, which is made of sanitary plastic that is simple to clean. It would be ideal for a variety of small pets! In exchange for your money, you get a lot of tunnel.
Love it! I'm using it as a tunnel toy for my pet rats, despite the fact that it's not intended for that purpose. It is extremely popular among them. It's possible to stretch it and make it super long, but it's perfect for their cage as it is.
These are a huge improvement. Without using a coupler, I was able to snap the 4" end to the 3" extension. Because the adapter I used is all one piece, it easily diverts water away from the house once snapped into the hose purchased here.
