    Try supply houses that sell drainage tubes. I know they make that bumpy black drain pipe in 8'. U dont need any thing as heavy as the pipe for the cap. Actually, the correct cap would be a pain in the A** to take on and off cuz it is a snug fit.. Might even look for a plastic bucket that would fit snugly...H
