I was intrigued by the pvc idea myself. I like the ice n go kits since they include brackets that raise the pipes off of the ground, giving you about 3 or 4 inches of ice. They also have covers that go over the pipes and liner to protect it from tears. Since it is not exposed, I wouldn't worry about...

Thanks for the insight. I have been debating which way to go with it and I haven't seen much about the ice n go kits. I've been leaning towards doing it myself and it's looking like that is the right way to go.
