I have exposed pipes going to my bog.  My skimmer pipe is under the liner about a foot to 18 inches deep on the bog wall shelf, then comes out totally exposed to join the pond water draw at a T that then goes to the external pump.  lousy drawing, w = water s = skimmer line p = pond line  b=bog

There is around 6 feet of exposed pipes in the winter going to the pump, 6 feet going to the bog.
Winter I pull the pump, open the lines, leave some water in them, never had a pipe break.  Some water does drain out, not much.  The bog line is higher than the edge of the bog so the bog does not drain.  It heads down and enters at the bottom.

Per plants, Our huge maple , that died, did shade part of the bog, the plants did not care.  Now that it is dead, the plants are growing about the same.  Maybe more.  I have had to yank some out a few times this year.

My yellow flag iris was in the full shade, it grew, this year with the tree dead it bloomed better.

Give them water, fish poo, they grow sun, part sun, shade they grow
