[sunflowerenvy]

we bought a a home and there is no water near the big shed/buildings. so now we will have to carry water out until spring time.We live in southern west tenn. the house is about 200 ft where we are going to be put coop.
next spring we will dig up and lay pipes down in the ground.

What kind of water pipes would u used to pvc or metal pipes? yes we do it some snow maybe 3in to 9in for the total of snow fall.

thank u

Use the PVC Laura, it's much easier to work with and will ususally last longer than the metal!

Either way though, make sure you dig the trench deep enough that it's below the frost line.

PVC for sure and lay it at the proper freeze prevention depth for your area, normaly 2-3' and you should be fine. you can put it in yourself, it's as easy as renting a walk behind 4" trencher.
