VEVOR Trench Drain System with Plastic Grate, 5.9x5.1-Inch HDPE Channel Drainage for Garden, Driveway - 6 Pack

These were purchased as " used customer return" the quality is great the price was reduced and I feel it was a very good option. One unit had very minor damage ( one grate damaged partially at very end) which will not affect it'd use for myself. They are very sturdy,heavy plastic. Nice and shallow which will be great to pour concrete around. I will buy again used or new and do recommend.

This product is holding up well. We put in back yard for drainage last summer. Just make sure it is slanted some so water can drain. Easy to use and install.

Prior to installing this channel drain, every time it rained heavy, I would get a pool of runoff water from my patio standing against my garage. To install the channel drain, I cut the patio blocks and installed 4-sections of the 39*5.7*3.1-Inch channel drain. The drain is decent quality plastic. Its rigid, but has some flex. Only 1 end cap is included with each section of channel drain. For my installation, I only used 2 end pieces. The sections of drain need to be joined together with adhesive (not included). PVC cement didn't work on this type of plastic, but hot glue worked very well, and it dries in minutes. The stainless steel grates are thick and are of very good quality. Out of the box, the grates are protected with a white vinyl tape that peels off to reveal shiny stainless steel. I took a section of the channel to my local Orange box store, and after trying everything they had for PVC fittings, I ended up using 1-1/2 Schedule 40 PVC pipe and fittings, which is a smaller diameter than I planned to use, but is sufficient for my need. My patio is already sloped towards a large planter at the edge of the patio. I dug up portions of the planter and ran the PVC pipe into the planter, out the other side, and in a trench along the back of the garage to a deep drainage pit filled with 1-inch marble stone. The finished drain looks good. I tested it with a garden hose and the drain is working properly.

Beautiful. Good size. Looks sturdy.

They seem well made, but they don't come with any instructions on how to connect the outlet pipes or what size pipe to use. It appears that I will need to buy a special drill bit to drill the holes for the pipes? I also assume that I'll need some sort of adhesive to connect the pipes to the drains? To get this information, I'll need to go to my local hardware store and ask them to advise me on the drill bit size, the size of pipe to use and whether or not I'll need adhesive. My hope was to connect these to 4' corrugated pipe. I can't tell if it's possible to do that, with or without adapters. I've already spent hours trying to figure out what I need to install these for a tiny project in my garden. I don't recommend these for a DIY project unless the manufacturer updates the listing to include installation instructions. These could be a good product for someone who already has experience installing drainage systems. Without instructions, these are a pain for a newbie.

We had ordered these previously and they did the job! Quality very well made, solid and a good money value.

The drain is very strong and it looks durable but there is no fittings for bth ends and also no proper size for bottom or side drain the sizes are 3.1 or 2.1 that does not exist , I should say they don’t provide or sale this specific sizes so it not a good idea to buy , what good is a product that don’t provide fitting or direct you to a supplier that can sale you the fitting for installation . Bad investment . I spoke to customer service and after weeks of back and forth they just give up and told me they were sorry they don’t have the fitting or they can sale or provide fittings for this item so I lost $$ invested o purchase 5 or 6 of this set so you can understand why am upset plus out of $$ , now start over with another company 😡

Very sturdy easy to install good product
