[QUOTE="remm, post: 228889, member: 821"] I've got pop up drains that are attached to 4" PVC just as you are talking about. I can't remember what the hell they are called but I ordered them online for about 30 bucks a piece. The PVC just flows into the bucket that has holes on the bottom and a little cover that lifts up to let water out when it fills up, sits nice and flat to the ground so no trouble mowing. I end up plugging PVC pipe at the inlet every fall at freeze up so no water gets into the drain over winter, then just attach regular elbow and gutter for the winter/spring. I don't believe I've had a pipe burst but in the spring the water may freeze up in the PVC pipe and back up and the water will run next to your foundation. I like having them in the summer, no downspouts to move around to mow or kids wrecking them. Spring is where you'll have problems if you try to run water into them. [/QUOTE]
