Can a slot drain be cut to length?

Foul and surface water, private drains and public sewers, land drains and soakaways, filter drains and any other ways of getting rid of water.

We are looking for a Stainless steel slot drain, but I have only seen them in 1m lengths, but we need something like 160cm length. I assume they can be joined, but can they be cut, if so how and what would be a good make/model to go for.

It needs to drain a path that is about 160cm wide by about 6m long with the path sloping from both ends; 60mm block paving will be used to make the path.

I would go with a plastic slot drain, but black will look wrong.
(I have a bit of flexibility in the width of the path if needed.)

Yes you can cut the slot drains and they're usually sold with an end piece to give a neat and watertight finish. Personally I'd cut 200mm of each of them so the join was neatly centred.
Can't see it from my house
