CEF in Swindon had loads of it on a high shelf at the back of the store, that they didn't know was there, nor appeared on any stock list or computer. Had to negotiate a (small) price to get a coil.
Was about thirty years ago, but you never know......

I need about 25 packs , its a massive garden project where lots of it will be clipped to white render walls

I'll bet it's not UV resistant

 

[brianmoooore]

Point to consider is that it doesn't fare well when exposed to sunlight.

put black in.... it'll turn to white eventually under UV... just like my downpipes!!

2.5kM of flexi conduit? Could you not do at least some if that in rigid conduit?

Since when does it come in 100m lengths?

10m usually.

But even then, 250m is a lot of flexi!

Hasn't it always come on 100m drums?

Obviously it comes in 10m and 25m packs too, but when you're ordering a lot I always assume people would order it by the 100m. If they want 250m then surely you'd just order 3 100m drums?

Normally come in 10mtr packs from the DIY shops like Screwfix and Toolstation , I probably need around 250mts

There is a lot of application where it comes down a wall say then straight under soils and pops up mid planter or bed. It will be easier to keep it continuous in Flex rather than cutting , bending and joining straight conduit

Run the cable through it before being buried.

Speaking from recent experience here!

100% run the cable through it when it rolled out straight , once its bent and snaked into shape its a real pain to feed a cable round it

What cable are you using ? I'd give it less than five years before any that is exposed to sunlight is cracked and falling apart though
