I want to run two 4 inch pipes to my pond. Any tips on collector at the branch, etc. Preferably something I can fabricate as I remain financially embarassed. Thanks.

marc51,
If it will be gravity fed then 4" corrugated polyethylene pipe would be your most economical option. It’s about $30 per 100’ in my area.
If you have to pump the water then 4” PVC would be your best bet.
Have you considered one 6” pipe? You would get more carrying capacity with one 6” pipe than two 4” pipes.
You can get slip-in strainers in either size.
More details (distance, amount of water available, etc.) would be helpful.

Larry,
I have about 500 feet from branch to pond faling about 4 feet. It appears to be a steady flow of at least a 4 inch pipe solid. Thanks

Marc,
I believe that the corrugated polyethylene pipe is the way to go.
Below is a link to more info about the pipe. Probably a lot more than you need or want to know. \:D
