What happens here
After the trench is dug, carefully place lengths of white PVC pipe (electrical conduit) into the trench. Connect the sections of conduit using appropriate fittings and PVC cement to ensure a continuous, sealed pathway. Once the conduit is laid, thread the outdoor-rated speaker wire through the entire length of the conduit, from the patio area to the fire pit area. This conduit provides essential protection for the speaker wire from moisture, physical damage, and pests.
Goal: Bury the speaker wire safely and securely within protective conduit.
