E ND | This is a practical question and probably an environmental one on some level depending on where your surface water goes.
From a practical standpoint, for tile to work well you'd need permeable soil, which would mean that tile placed that would actually drain would likely be wrecked by tractor or cow traffic. If it was deep enough or under clay that will hold up tractors and animals, it probably wouldn't drain.
Instead of tile, could you trench non-permeable pipe to a surface inlet in the lot somewhere out of the way of traffic and grade to it? Fence an area off, plant some grass to filter and put a hickenbottom or similar intake in it? Could even do a few/row of them along the pipe to get surface water out of the pen. It wouldn't drain the subsoil like tile would but as I mentioned above I don't think tile would work that well. | |
