Hi, I want to connect my roof downspouts into plastic drain tile that I will trench to run into a ditch about 800 feet away. How do I size the size of tile I need to use? I have 1400 sq feet of roof surface that I need to connect...it is only half the house, the other half runs down the hill. There would be a run of 800 feet that I would trench the tile in with a large ditchwitch. I could give it good slope - like 1 inch for every 100 feet (could go more).... I want to make sure it is sized to handle heavy rains and not overflow due to backing up... Will a 4 inch work, or do I need 5 or 6 inch? Thanks in advance!
