It helps if you heat and bend the conduit instead of using the 90* elbows.

I've used 1/2 PVC conduit, and over 100' or so, it's a PITA. I usually
recommend 3/4" conduit (and it's not that much more than 1/2"). Note that Home
Depot provides an additional discount once you go over a certain length.

Feed string through pipe while you put the sections together. Secure
sections via solvent weld with PVC cement.

Hey guys,
What is the most cost effective conduit you've used for cable runs from a
pole mount to their house. There is one run that keeps getting eaten through by
animals and it needs to go in conduit. It's about 350 feet and looking for the
cheapest conduit possible that will hold the Cat5.
What are you all using and what is rough cost per foot?
What is the best way to get the cable through the conduit smoothly at long
distances?
Thank you
