I have some raised beds that are bordered by bricks, and with brickwork for paths. So I couldn’t without destroying a lot of courtyards, push irrigation underneath.

But I have worked out I could use under the house.

I wouldn’t trust irrigation pipe as far as I could throw it, but is this stuff, suitable for cold pressure pipes?

I’d get a plumber to take a feed from before our water filter, then run under the house with one t junction to feed two beds.

I have some other beds, one in the lawn....unsure if I could trench under that. And two more with courtyards but no under house access. I’d rather not go aerial, or surface mount.

Thoughts?

Polybute pipe is not suitable for underground use. Don't trust any instructions that say that you can bury it.

Use MDPE pipe instead (blue watermain pipe) and sleeve it with PVC waste pipe.
