Brickslot drains are great as they don’t mess up the paving, however how do you allow one to be cleaned?

So far the only solution I can think of is to cut off part of the up stand and continue the drain under the edging, so the end cap can be accessed by digger a small whole in the flower bed if needed.

Is there a better solution?

i honestly don't know but i guess making sure its rod-able would allow for it to be unblocked when the need arises

put a corner/inspection unit at each end, for rodding access put your personal choice of trap at the bottom of one corner/inspection units, wash out slots as required, drag or push the detritus to the end with the trap, collect detritus from the trap using hand, dirty pump or gully grab.
