I found a 20ft. piece of 8 inch corrogated pipe. The common 4 inch looks too small. To transport it I have to cut it in 3 pieces and then it won't be worth the $60.00 it cost. Does anyone have an opinion on what size corrogated pipe to use for a no no drill.
You can use anything. I used a dead tree branch for years (about 6-8 in in diameter). Lately I have used a 2X6 turned on edge as it is easier to move. I put feet on it so that it will stand up on edge. It is about 6' long. Don't spend all that money for something that can be had from scrap lumber.

Mitty, See the video I uploaded. The log was about 7'. My 2x6 is 6'.
So what was the original question? A yard work no no drill or a land tune up at 200 yards? I am glad Glen doesn't want to be dicking around.
Glen, Why so long? No no drill isn't done from that far away. If using in blinds, I can understand. But for that I use native logs. but even those aren't 20'
You can use any obstacle, a picnic bench, a log, a line of small shrub(let)s...anything that makes the dog flare. Start small go bigger as pup's skill increases. The important thing is to get enough length so you have a chance to stop the dog before it runs around the object and, on the way back, so you can handle over it. You could use a 2X4 that you prop on rocks.

However, using the corrugated plastic pipe, you can move around the field easily setting up however you like. The extra width doesn't hurt you on no-nos IMO.
Just use a couple of 5 gal buckets turned upside down and drill holes in each of them on the sides big enough to slide a piece of pvc (1/2" or bigger) in them. Drill multiple holes at different heights to make the jump adjustable. Light, very portable and can be taken apart.
I've seen people put caps over the ends of the pipe to keep critters out. Seems the 15 in would be safest, easily moved and longest lasting. Most expensive too, but maybe you could find one at a const site that they are tearing out.
