If you are running lines that are
very l;ong you need to consider the pressure drop over that length. Being
downhill helps but if you are pulling much water thought that 3/4 inch line over
that length the pressure will drop pretty quick. I used 2" layflat, it was
cheaper, easier to take up and move and very low pressure
drop. Layflat should be ok across the rock unless you plan to drive
over it and if that is the case I wouldn't use PVC or EMT anyway as it will
just break unless you bury it at least a few inches. If the rocks aren't
sharp you could drive over the Layflat, its pretty tough stuff and I drive over
mine all the time even with my tractor with ag tires, and haven't had any
problems. I looked into PVC but it was more expensive. You could put
some dirt over the section of rock you plan to run the line over to help
avoid damage. You can also use orchard tubing which is cheaper than
layflat but not as durable. I'm not sure what happened but some of my
orchard tubing melted in the sun in spots. Anybody know what the deal
is? Anyway I didn't see a location for you but if it freezes in your
area you will either have to take the PVC up or make sure you can drain the
entire length or you will be replacing it quite often unless you can bury it 3
ft or so depending on how deep your freeze line is.
