Installing a 4” line from a gutter to an existing catch basin box.
Would you use the corrugated black drainage pipe? Will it not hold up? Buried about 1 foot deep. South Louisiana.
Get thinwall PVC instead?

Be driving, pvc. If it’s just normal lawn equipment, the corrugated black pipe is good.

How long of a distance?
I was big into pvc but once I used corrugated it’s so easy. And no issues.

I've installed a number of drains and watch a lot of videos. Go corrugated over PVC. The corrugated is designed to create turbulence and move sediment and roof gravel through the pipe. A PVC pipe will clog up as sediment settles out. I've experienced this personally. If you do go PVC, then please put cleanouts. Second, if you do corrugated, then go with 3 inch pipe over 4 inch pipe. I know this sounds backwards, but a smaller diameter pipe will create a higher velocity, which will move debris out of the pipe a lot better. A 3-inch pipe can move a crap ton of water if you slope it right.
FYI, they make dual walled corrugated that is just a strong as PVC.
