section of 20" culvert weighs?

I bought 5 of them today (for $ 8.00 each) and couldn't lift them. I had to use a digging iron to wiggle them around and roll them up to and on the trailer.

I felt so .....old. :(

Peter a 18" culvert has the weight of 168# per foot and a 24" has 268# per foot. Depending on the length no wonder you couldn't manage them. I would say that a 20" is roughly 210#. That is a wall thickness of 2.25-2.50 inches.

Thanks John! These were 4 footers. That explains why I'm so sore ???
Glad I have a tractor to take them off ;D
