Hi, i need some suggestions regarding drainage in this area.
i have just bought this unit and have noticed they have paved the entire area and only drainage is were the plants are along & at back fence’s. there is downpipes on both ends of the building for stormwater and 1 down pipe going into the garden for the pergola.
so water has nowhere to drain especially at the end were the garden shed is and other end were deck lounge is…
can you give any suggestions?.
the only ground opening for stormwater is around the corner which I’ve highlighted in photo.
Hi @Johnny2
I would run a socked 65mm AG line around the water prone areas just under you pavers.
Lift you pavers neatly and lay the Smaller Ag line(smaller then 1 paver width) into the 100mm deep trench you make lay the pipe and re bury as you go adding to original sand fill on top of the Ag line Tape the pavers down level to other pavers with a white rubber hammer (black ones can leave marks)
Take the Ag pipe to the storm water house down pipes and connect there on the lowest point if the the area slopes at all.
Honestly if that Ag lines fills halfy or full with water water will flow because water will always find a way towards the storm water exit even if laid flat.
Any residual water will drain into the ground undeneath.
There are several AG line products you will need to select that best suits your are or more than one at need,
Hope thishelps your situation.
