Try your local lumber yard, Lowes, Home Depot, McCoys.
Where do you live?
Ask for PVC downspout.

Forget PVC. Too heavy. Make a corofuse.

Check out my posting on the SPAD forum regarding "splined corofuse" Most people just overlap the coroplast at the joint, but I use 1/8" by 1/4" spruce stock and thin CA to butt-join the coroplast.

You don't even need it for reinforcement. Just cut conventional firewalls out of wood and epoxy them in.

If Tattoo says the places listed have it, they have it. Maybe you're asking the wrong questions? Ask them for a toilet float or something. :)

The places I listed are part of the Do-it-best home improvement stores, which is also a huge mail order web based National business. On their web-site you can do a search for a product along with a search for an outlet near you. The stores either stock it or will order it for you. check it out http://doitbest.com/shop/product.asp...292&sku=105736

I get mine at Lowes. 10 ft. sections for about $6.00. They only have the light weight Canadian Pipe but that's what I like anyway.

23 miles away, I have a Home Depot 5 miles away. I'll ask there first.

Good luck at Home Depot. When I checked there, they didn't have a clue what I was talking about.

Let me amend my previous statement: Don't ask, LOOK. If it ain't on the shelves, they don't have it.

If you're feeling particularly masochistic, and feel you MUST ask an employee, even though you've been up and down the roofing aisle a dozen times and all they have is aluminum or round vinyl, call it "downspout" and see what happens. "Gutterpipe" is not the technical term.

One store chain I KNOW stocks square vinyl downspout is Chase-Pitkin in the Western and Central New York area.

Also, don't discount the idea that they might have it outside. Many lumber stores have a lot of lumber racks behind the store...and we have found "downspout" out back even when an employee said they didn't carry it.

Dean is all knowing, trust this guy!
