Bringing Water to the BOL

Super interesting post JM! :thumbsUp:
I can't tell what type of hose you are using but the only thing that comes to mind is that it looks to slightly micro porous, which with repeated freezing and thawing will crack the tube, like vines in mortar. Burying the line just a couple of inches should help with that, and prevent a random branch / ATV / Deer with and attitude, from puncturing it.
JohnyMac:
Thx Burt.
The pipe is 3/4" irrigation pipe made from some poly compound. It is designed to be impervious to the elements, e.g. sun, cracking when frozen, etc. Many of the farmers in the AO of the cabin use it.
The stuff was laid July 2011. The price of the stuff is $120- a roll and there is ~300 feet in a roll.

I cant see the images but keep in mind standard PVC pipe (not the black drip line) is not UV ray proof. It bows and becomes brittle.
