(Mini) guttering (is it *really* this hard ?)`

I have some blue 25mm pipe taking the rain water off my shed. I use a threaded to push fit adapter to connect to the guttering.

What size does the flexible hose need to be, and how flexible? The stuff sold by pond equipment supplyers for piping filters and water features comes in various sizes. Is that any good?

It would help to know what diameter system you've gone for. If 50mm, flexible tube in that size isn't hard to come by.

Eg.

AFAICT the diameter on the gutter outlet (and associated pipe) are 50mm

Ah, "ducting" not "piping" - it's that little twist between stupid and clever ...

Have now discovered all the water feature gubbins, so will dig further.

sadly there's no guttering nearby, so it's going into the drain. Couple of suggestions downthread will keep me busy for a day or two :)

That was the original plan. Until I discovered that the selection of joining pipes is limited. To achieve what I want using rigid pipes would make the shed look more like the Apollo lander.

Definitely looking at the black pond pipes - they could be neatly tucked behind the back, and piped into the drain below.

I didn't care when the shed stood on slabs. But now it's on decking, I can see the drip-line becoming green in no time.

Not a bad place actually. Sort of twin to the ICA IIRC.

If, like me, you don't throw anything away you should have some flexible hose from an old cylinder vacuum cleaner. This is probably a little smaller than mini guttering downpipe but might do the job. (I use it as an outlet hose on an IBC container which harvests rainwater).

Guess what went to the tip last week :(
