Nice video. Something to consider if you're watching this before a DIY: Consider a soil barrier around the popup/gravel hole to stop soil from settling in and clogging the stones, and don't glue your popup on until after the SOD goes in. If you popup is below final grade, soil/grass will seal it up.

why do they call it a French drain

Exactly what I needed to see for my own project......thanks for a well done coverage of this subject.

I’m not sire if you have seen them but check out the stake pocket d ring adaptors. You can put a d ring in every stake pocket if you want.

Had a Diamond bumper pull trailer but traded it in for gooseneck. Day and night from bumer to bed mount

You could replace the all items to include the clean out catch if you used a 4 in “y” at the drain spout. Man that does look pretty good job.

Great job! I did this for my sump pump, to a natural drainage point. For the downspouts I used 4” corrugated polyethylene. New subdivision, new trees, this was 20 years ago. I might have to update because the trees are getting there, but not yet.

may seem basic, BUT your tool and supply list is a great start to your video. Thanks!

French drain man is the only person you should be watching folks

The deck may crack and have problems in the future as the ground under it settles. Not sure if there is a "right way" of doing this... but you cant really hand compact dirt effectively. In the fiberglass pool industry, they have started using crushed stone for backfilling because it doesn't settle and compact after its placed over time like normal dirt does. Just a thought. Nice work btw.

Can you install a catch basin on the perforated drain tile?

How do you install them if you have a little negative slope?

Did you use a connector between each length of pipe instead of fusing them with pvc glue?

Without drain holes in that run of pvc will always have standing water in the last 15 feet 😮

How did you connect the green pipe to the schedule 40?

Rip offs is what i concern myself with here where i am...these guys honestly dnt know half of what you just explained. Great video,very informative

suddenly wish my yard was a sandbox

Go with a tilt if you can swing it. You will never buy a ramp trailer again

Great Video!!! I'm looking at connecting two 2x3 and one 3x4 downspouts to a 4" PVC pipe. I live in Westchester county (just north of NYC). Is the 4" big enough or should I go to a 5" PVC pipe? Thanks, Paul

How deep does this pipe need to be?

Thank you! Landscapers just fight with me in how to do this, so I'm attempting to do it by myself. Backyard is a pond: clay soil, bottom of watershed from a 16 acre hillside pasture. Upstate NY. March snow melt generates muddy madness every year, getting worse.

Will a zero turn hurt the pop up if ran over?

great video new subscriber

So this is what I am doing this week or next week

When can you do one w drain to curb.

PVC Schedule 40 vs. PVC DWV pipe for underground gutter drain with 4-8" of gravel (flower beds) but no vehicle traffic (only foot)? Thanks for posting!

Excellent explanation, thanks for sharing

mate, how many inches wide from wheel ends ? So as i understood the size of the bed is 80 inches?

Easy installation of a maintenance nightmare 😂

How come you didn't use any fabric for around the rock and pipe?

Nice soft soil

I’m prepping to do the same thing with sdr 35 pipe. It’s easy material to get for me. Thanks for making videos like this for us white sneaker wearing middle aged dads lol 👊

Great video and perfect explanation. I’ve been looking everywhere on UA-cam for some tips on how to install, dig and where to put stone and I just want to say thank you!!! Time to get started.

You can get a dead straight line with a piece of string between two sticks right on the ground, and spray over it with the turf spray paint sold at Home Depot. Did it this week and it works so much better than eyeballing.

Very nice job. Will that PVC 6 inch to 4 inch reducer that is exposed to daylight will that last at least 10 years or will that get brittle and break within 5 years??? Would double wall corrugated pipe be better for locations that have 10 inches of frost.

Excellent video! 🙏 Thank you

Is that SDR 35 pipe? Great job and thanks

The French man doesn't recommend French drains starting and then dumping into a catch basin tied together with a surface water system? He likes to keep them separate but together. Do you agree?

I'll be running a drain pipe for backyard water, parallel with my concrete driveway, about 1.5ft distance from the driveway. Occasionally someone in my household will "miss" the driveway and might roll a vehicle over the ground above the pipe. Because of that possibility, maybe I should spend more for stronger schedule 40 pipe, in order to avoid pipe collapse due to vehicle weight?

thanks very helpful

You ever have any issues with shingle asphalt plugging up?

Getting ready to redo my yard from a 50 year old system. Can you just backfill with dirt? No gravel required?

I would like to see the type of gutter that is attached to the house 5:31

Is the pvc that you run have drilled holes in the bottom or is that not needed for these systems?

Have you ever had your dovetail hit the ground? It looks like it's low - very close to the ground.

Nicely done. Can I install this threaded Tee fitting against the building? Or does it have to be horizontal in the ground?

Interested in a video to explain installation of French drain . Do you put double corrugated pipes in yours or just one? Also gravel all along the pipes or just at the end? Last question what piece goes at the end of the corrugated pipe?

for your clean outs you can use a wye pipe instead

Nice work. When the clean out is on a 90, can you get a hose around that bend? Or use a sweep instead?

Outstaiding Video. It contained just the "how to" facts on how to install the drain. Did not try to be a comedian or try to be funny with a lot of silly stuff. I really enjoyed watching and I think that I learned enough to complete my project. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge . I saved this video in order to refer back to it when I do the project.
