Perforated drain pipe flexibility

[KAMIKAZEE DIY]

Does the width of perforated drain pipe affect it's flexibility? I'm prob going to put some in to help lawn drain from couple collection points prior to turfing.

What would be most flexible to curve 60mm, 80mm or 100mm
? It's for home use and to avoid a coupe of potential spongy areas
Maybe a bit over cautious but prevent ions better than cure.

Soil is not great but it's not clay either .

As a general rule the smaller diameter pipe will radius easier than the bigger.

Dave right the smaller pipes are not as rigid so when you bend a 50mm diameter perforated land drain to shape they don't tend to try and spring back

you can still bend the 100mm pipe a full 180 degrees by using a larger radius but it is harder to keep it in that position when compared to the 50mm diameter

Thanks guys. Will try get 50mm pipe.
