It is not rigid like PVC pipe. It is flexible like a hose. When water flows, it rounds out. When the water stops, it goes flat again.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eYou can roll it up and carry it.

Run the lay flat pipe from the pump to the edge of your field. Then connect your drip laterals.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMove water from a dam to a tank. Run lay flat pipe over the ground.
