Culvert, where to buy?

Sorry you were treated that way. If a culvert is in the right of way we provide it and install it.

Where are you located?

That’s the same deal they made me. They provided a single axel dump truck load of gravel and installed it for free but the culvert was on my dime.

If i went into the local lowes and asked for a culvert, i doubt they would even know what im talking about..

I already searched the Lowe’s website to see if I could replicate what a previous poster found and I never found any culvert.

Our Lowes has the singlewall also. You can check with ADS and see where their products are sold. My favorite if ya got the equipment to handle it is RCP will last forever unlike CMP which will eventually rust out and like the plastic pipe has to be bedded correctly to prevent crushing.

Here in my area, Lowes has them, but so does most lumber yards and bigger feed supply/ farm fencing places. Lowes keeps them in stock out in there Garden area where they keep fencing supplies and 20 foot lengths of PVC pipe. Their prices are fair, but I've found that if I tell the owner of the farm fence and supply place what it's selling for at Lowes, he will sell to me for ten bucks less.

$262 is what they are listing one for at Lowes.

Well I will be a monkey's uncle. My closest Lowes doesn't have it, but about 20 miles away, they have 4 in stock of both the 12 and 15". You know the crazy thing? Go to Lowes and set you location to Gaffney, SC (29341). Now, go to the top and search "culvert". It will NOT find that pipe. In fact, I can't find that pipe any way on the Lowes sites without your direct link to it. Now that; right there, is some real first class IT work. I've never seen that happen before where there's "hidden items" that you can't see based on your geo.

Well, anyway, Lowes has it. 250 bucks for a 20ft 15in. That's not exactly cheap, but, I only need one, so, not worth running all over creation to find it. I saw a lot of people recommending double wall, this says it is, but I assume, looking at it, it should be smooth on the inside (instead of corregated) right? I could see where smooth would be MUCH better for this type of application.

And, to the poster who suggested Ferguson, that was my first guess too. Went to their website, searched for culvert, not a single hit. Since my experience with this Lowes thing above, I tried something new, Googled for it instead of searching directly on their site. Yup, apparently they have it too. Nuts! It's not like "culvert" is a common term that's returning too many hits here people. How can typing in what it actually is; it's trade name, not return a hit on Lowes or Ferguson's website?

I've installed hundreds of dual wall plastic. Only covered with dirt. Never had one crush.

Dual wall plastic culvert is a corrugated outer shell with a smooth liner inside, thus dual wall. That's what you want. Very high flow rates. Very strong and crush resistant.

As near as I can tell, it's because the people who put together the search engine for Lowe's are apparently complete idiots. They have one of the worst search engines of any sites I frequently use. I run into similar problems even when I am searching for something is in stock at the store that I have selected. They will either return no results, or return multiple pages with results that have nothing to do with the item I am searching for.
