basically 6' of 6" PVC, anchored at each end with concrete (i use the dishpan method) and smaller diameter pvc drilled sporadically placed through the 6" piece.

I hold the pvc in place by just drilling in a screw where the smaller diameter pvc enters the larger diameter pvc.....one screw on both ends holds just fine, and 1 1/4" drywall screws work perfect!

you could use galvanized in case you were worried about corrosion
That's pretty cool. Let me know how that goes. I think you would need a substantial amount of weight on the concrete ends to keep down a long 6" piece of PVC that will be full of air. Oh, wait, I guess you're putting holes in it so it'll eventually fill. Duh.
