Sorry to call on people to help me with this but have been struggling for a couple of years to find out if its possible to source in the UK.
So I'm asking for help please!!


I'm looking for Square PVC 'pipe' but may also be sold as fencepost for a hydraponic project , its needs to be bigger than standard down pipe as more substantial plants can form , it has to be PVC so that it can be glued together.

You'll see in the following vid what I mean .

Really would appreciate any links or ideas on finding this stuff in the UK , or if you have a suggestion or something that can be used in its place.

Many Thanks In Advance.

If you can't find square pipe in the size you want then maybe you could cut some PVC sheet up and glue up your own? Or if you have a router you could make parallel V slots in a sheet and bend into square and then glue one join instead of four?

What size you looking for, square downpipe is 65mm, you can get 90mm square plastic (HDPE) fence posts if that’s big enough, a quick google found this place which makes them but it's miles away (yorkshire) from your location but you may find a supplier nearer if item suitable by contacting them, scroll down page in link to see the items >>

Ah cheers , I was really looking for 5" ( 125mm ) if possible. The bigger sized the pots it can take the larger plants it can receive and grow.

I realize you're probably trying to keep costs down, but if you end up with having to do a lot of work or pay to have special deliveries made, maybe you could shop around for other solutions? This is an off the shelf plumping part you can find in Sweden, should be available where you are aswell? Stack a few vertically and they should do the trick for you. You could use 110mm pots. No glue required.
