Great idea for areas with NO vehicular traffic and very cost effective
at
about 26$ per 100 foot roll.
Some drawbacks:
it is hard to "lay it in" flat and straight, rigid PVC or thin walled
drain pipe is easier
The straighter the pull the easier.....
the internal ridges can make pulling a cable through more difficult,
where a smooth walled tube pulls easier, best to pull a cable from the
middle of the end instead of the side where most knots are tied....
