Yo I recently learned that pvc pipes can crack and chip in cold weather so I was wondering if you guys knew of any methods for avoiding this. I recently bought a 10 foot pvc pipe to sesh in the winter and considering I'm in ottawa where it gets -10F I dont want that happening.
I've stored a pvc in my backyard for the last four years and I've never had any problems. I'm in BC so it doesn't typically get quite as cold as Ontario but I doubt you'll have problems with cracking

Also in ottawa, green/blue ones are fine i’ve broken some white ones but only being rough with them, they hold up decently well. Definitely throw a 2x4 in there if you can.

okay sick, nice to meet new ottawa skiers. I just moved out here for uni. yeah I have a commercial white pvc which is pretty thick. not sure if that helps or if the cracking has to do with the type of plastic. (I just followed you on insta btw).

My friend told me to put spray foam in the ends, works great
Had some brown really hard ones crack on me. It wasn’t so much that cracked so i filled as much as i could with expanding foam. Go carefully though as it can also crack the tube from the inside when expanding. But my tube did hold up quite well.

yeah my pvc is one that can be pressurized up to 50 psi. Ill grab a can of expanding foam if I ever make a home depot run.
