What is the name of the yellow pipe you get on a coil, where from (cheapest) and where do you get the rubber bands to hold them down from please?

Innertubes, I assume you mean car innertubes?

Been looking into this too, the corrugated stuff that some places use is underground cable protector pipe and can be bought in 110mm diameter, 50m coils. Seen it for around 120 a coil and it comes on different colours too (to signify what is running through it if buried and being use for its proper use)

I dont know about cable protector/conduit but when we've bought it before its been drainage pipe, its pretty tough and has an inner skin, you can buy it perforated or non, you also want UV stable stuff or it will go brittle in a few years if left outside.

Google "twinwall ducting" ...it comes in various diameters and colours.

We got ours for worm at about £65 per 50m of 63mm diameter yellow stuff. No idea if it's uv stable, but that diameter is working perfectly! Big enough to keep cars in, but not so big cars can't also drive up and over it without marshalling!!!

I can't remember exactly...but it must in the region of 250m worth in the end...possibly more.

We used 100m just to to do the perimeter!

+1.....they didn't buy the proper UV stable stuff over here in Muscat and within a few weeks it was cracking and smashing into pieces when the cars or marshalls put any force on.
