Corrugated Steel
Corrugated steel culverts are lightweight and come in a variety of sizes. Unfortunately, they are prone to cracking and rusting, and if improperly set into the ground, will become distorted and could cave in, blocking the flow of water.
Plastic Culverts
Plastic culverts are very lightweight. They made of polyethylene, which is corrosion-resistant, due to a special coating, and are available in 20-foot lengths. Because they do not weigh much, they can be laid by hand, without the use of heavy machinery.
Fun Fact
The first known reference to the word "culvert" appears in 1773. The origin of the word is unknown.
