We have a 1.5 feet diameter culvert (drainage pipe) at the bottom of our front lawn that drains ours and our neighbors lawns - we recently started creating a rain-garden of sorts to make it a little more attractive but we still have the question of how to make the entrance to the drainage pipe itself protected - small kids (ours and others nearby) have gotten it into their head that it might actually be fun to crawl into the pipe (danger!)
Does anyone have any suggestions on how one might cover this pipe up preventing kids from being able to climb in while still allowing the drainage function to work properly? Anything perhaps Lowes or Home Depot might provide?
Any suggestions would be appreciated,
