corrugated or uncorrugated PVC pipe from your plumbing store. I think 8 inch diameter.

Lined corrugated drainage pipe. It's like the other stuff commonly available but has a smooth lining on the inside that helps protect the poles better and adds strength to the wall. The most common brand I see is ADS (stands for Advanced Drainage Systems).

Double-wall corrugated drain pipe

Correct, the answer is definately double wall drainage pipe and acs is one of the best sources just make sure you take your pole bag with you. 8" was too large for a five pole bag, but would have been perfect for a seven pole bag. I went to get it on friday and will have to order 6" instead. I think the 8" will fit in our spirit bag though but I can't confirm till I make another trip back. The double wall has the smooth interior which makes is stiffer and doesn't bend nearly as much as the single wall. Also the single wall with the rippled inside will tear up the wrap on your poles. It was about $65 for a twenty foot section at the local farm supply store here in Iowa.

Ferguson sells it for about a dollar thirty a foot, less than thirty a stick.

Pole Protectors

We use Double-wall corrugated drain pipe to protect all of our poles along with a cloth pillow case like cover around each pole to protect from scratches while traveling:idea:. They are easy to make as we went to the Salvation Army store, bought some old sheets, and used a sewing maching to make them. They slip on and off easily and each vaulter can use their own design to easily identify own poles as well.
