The only real reason for my concern about the joints is that if I bury the pipe (which is what I PLAN to do...) I won't be able to see if there are problems with the joints...Maybe there never will be. Buuuuuuuut.........

I guess I am just surprised that a continuous coil of the stuff doesn't seem to exist....or at least I can't find one...

Rocky, I really like the looks of the ADS product. I might end up having to make a phone call to those folks and find out how to get my hands on thier stuff.

And GW, I have looked at a lot of stuff about siphon systems on this forum, and I am certainly not against the idea of using just such a system, but it seems that it wouldn't really solve my problem of finding a *relatively* cheap solution. But, so far, what I have imagined as fairly inexpensive has been hard to find. Is there a big advantage to having a siphon system?

I am almost to the point of just pouring a concrete "spillway" but I am trying to avoid that as I think it would be sinfully ugly (my apologies in advance to folks who have very nice looking concrete spillways!)...
