Hey JJ: You don't say where you are from, but you should be able to buy 4" black perforated plastic pipe for your tile from Menard's, Fleet Farm, Home Depot or the like. Obviously one thing you need to consider is that you need an outlet for this pipe, in other words, a ditch or pond that is lower than your tile is going to be. You can lay the tile flat (no grade on it) if you have to, but it has to have an outlet. As far as bury depth, if frost is a concern, obviously you need to get it down about 4 feet, otherwise, 2 feet should be an adequate bury depth. Depends on how much tile you're going to put in, but digging it in by hand will not be fun.
