Drainage advice for first time diy'er

[TToP]

Hi guys,

been reading alot on the website of late and am very impressed with the level of detail it goes in to but am still in need of a little advice.

I would like to have just one fall to deal with to make things easier for myself but if I have the fall towards linear drainage how to I then account for a fall of some kind in the drainage so that the water actually drains from it and in to a soakaway without having a second fall?

I have seem references to linear drainage with built in fall but cant find any details from online suppliers. The linear drainage would be around 9m in length.

if the linear drain is level the water will find its way out, you dont need a fall on that, just a fall in the pipe from the linear to the soakaway

Aco make the ones with falls built in, they are in 9metre runs of 9 segments I've laid them before pain in the arse, as local said normal ones will find their own level and drain as long as not fighting a gradient

hydrostatic gradient.

Brilliant, thanks for the quick and friendly advice, sounds like much less of a nightmare now!
