Hey NS, I've searchbarred but couldn't find what the best thickness for PVC is? I can get some high quality PVC thats 1/4" thick pretty cheap- like $10 for 6 meters.

Should I go for that, or go for the more expensive, larger diameter PVC?

Sorry for dub post, heres the place I'm buying from for reference, I think the thin tubes are suspiciously cheap though: http://www.pipestock.com/pvc/pvc-pipe/pvc-pipe-class-e-inch-15bar

Generally the thicker the better, especially if you plan on using them in the fall when the temps start to get low. I picked up some that seem pretty thick. I'll run home and measure and then I'll get back to you.

MLJAlright thanks


Yea so I went and measured, mines just barely under 1/4 inch thick. It has hardly any ware on it and seems to be going strong. 1/4 inch should be perfect especially if you can get it for cheap
