I agree with Tracy and have many manmade structures using old waterhose and pvc pipe in my 2 year old pond. I catch fish by them all the time.I have old black soaker hose also but did not use because it did not seem as rigid as the other type hose and had the tendency to "kink and bend over" easier. Maybe mine was a too small of width hose. But it all will work to some extent in my opinion. Good luck!!
