Howdy All,

Lookng to see what you guys use at your site for debris tube (at least 10 ft long). I'm looking at a job right now that will require one. Suggestions welcomed.

sonotube, barrel chute, plywood chute^^,
Depending on what your dumping and how clean/safe you need to be.

I'd say the sonotube is great but if you go long distances, they have these orange foldable chutes that fold flat, you can assemble them onsite. Recently isntalled a 120 ft. chute in a 8 story burnt out bldg.

I was thuinking of the sono but at $11.5 /ft for a 24 inch wide tube, that would cost me around 100 bucks. I think I will make one with plywood and a tarp on top of the window that rests on the chute. Don't want to create too much plaster dust.

I made a chute myself very similar to the superchute out of plastic trash cans and some chain. Cut the bottoms out of the cans and chain together.
