Hey,

there is this yellow drainage pipe, right? Is it only available perforated? From what I’ve seen so far, it was only perforated. I’m planning to install it as a runoff for rainwater, directing it away from the house, right at the top after the bend of the downspout. So, I would rotate the existing vertical downspout slightly to the side and then connect the yellow pipe. But with the perforated one, that doesn’t make much sense if the water leaks out through the holes on the way down. Or do I need to search for a different term?

Currently, I have some kind of hose wrap at the bottom end of the downspout, but the rainwater is still too close to one side of the house for my liking. I want to have it further away. In my view, the end of the downspout is too low, ending just before the ground level, and you would really have to dig a lot to go straight down and then slope away from the house...

Please temporarily remove the last pipe segment; then your plastic hose will also work, as you will have a slope away from the house.

The last segment is the only one present and is attached directly to the "funnel" at the top, if I have seen it correctly. This would look like the photo in the advertisement mentioned in an earlier post.
