It may sound like a lot of work, but if you don't calculate how much watershed you have, and use that number to figure out how many gallons of water the creek will see from a significant rainstorm, your dam and pipe might get washed downstream again if the pipe isn't large enough.
Just saying.............
I've used black corrugated double wall "culvert", and put a 90° elbow on it, then extended the vertical pipe to the height that I needed, cutting it with a recip saw.
I'm thinking that 6" is way too small.......................
You can do it cheap and it might hold, or you may have to re-spend the money because it failed. I usually opt to do it once, no matter what it costs because I don't want to have to do it again. what if I did 2 six inch pipes? the 12 inch pipes are like $400 just for an elbow at Home depot?
