A curtain drain acts like a gutter, catching surface water and moving it away quickly.

Love that Dad is representing with that Homesteady toboggan! lol
So funny how the cows aren't even spooked by those big loud machines. Hope you and your family are having a wonderful holiday!
Thank you for explaining what you are doing. Loved seeing you all and Lady Bug too.
Merry Christmas Homesteady! You are so blessed to have parents that have so many skills and knowledge to impart to you and your family. I’ve witnessed how much they love to involve the grandkids.
Omg your in CT that’s awesome.
I live in Plymouth I just bought my first tractor and I need to put in a drain. My back yard is kinda two levels and the back side is ALWAYS WET!!!
I’ve been wanting to make the yard USABLE lol
We’ve never really used it because it’s always nasty to walk through the mud to get up the hill.
Thank you for the videos I just subscribed!!
God Bless🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻🇺🇸🙏🏻
Merry Christmas and a Glorious New Year for HOMESTEADY in 2020!!

Merry Christmas from Michigan. God Bless you all!
Hello Homesteady Crew! Aust, have you seen Doug and Stacy Off Grid? They have a rain catchment system that cuts itself off when full. They use it for everything. But you could use it for the animals! Use the water from the gutters. They even have outside faucets!
Nice to see your Father too!
GOD bless
Love seeing your dogs. I have a rescued lab. Love him
I had the same flooding super wet side of my add on to my house. The trench and drainage pipe will be wonderful y’all will be so happy thanks for the video and have a Merry Christmas 🎁🎄
Funny. Next scene he is out of the machine. lol. Scoot son!
Merry Christmas Homesteady!
JO IN VT 💕🎄 ☃😊
Very informative! You may want to consider putting a metal plate over the pipe that the cow will be walking over on a regular basis. Merry Christmas!
Awesome 👍😁 ❣️
Happy holidays ❤️ for you and your family ❤️
Enjoy family & friends....
That baby is so dang cute !! Looks like mommah !!
What a job. Merry Christmas
Hey what sort of fabric did you lay down in that pad and I assume you covered the entire paddock?
Loved watching this be done and look forward to seeing the difference 👍
Merry Christmas🎄🎅🤶
I love it.
Curtain drain is right up against the house or object/hence curtain hangs right in front of window! I always say french drain if im gonna do a perimter outside drain to prevent the water from coming on property in the first place
I think maybe it’s a regional thing. My husband is a construction superintendent. They call it a French drain done here in Mississippi. I’m from New Orleans. It’s a French drain there too . Maybe that’s where the name comes from
Oh I actually know the answer to that one. They were popularized in the US by Henry Flagg French.
nairobie755 nice! Thanks!
Where does the curtain drain pipe lead? Or does it just create a void space for the water to collect?
Okay, a couple questions. Why don't you run the gutters from your barn directly to the downhill side, instead of into a buried solid pipe? Or into a garden so you could use the water for irrigation? Also, as for the skirt, wouldn't you want that to protect your coral too, not just the barn? Could even consider water diversions, in the shape of chevron barriers, every 50' or so, going up your hill from the barn, so rain water gets diverted out of the path of your barn. Anyway, just some comments, you're the landowner who knows how the water travels on your property. Thanks for the vid. Merry Christmas (today) to you and yours!!
I think the terminology may be from other areas of the country. We lived in the deep south and they called them French drains but here in Northwest PA they call them curtain drains....farmers call it field tile...samething
Hopefully you dug your trench 2 ft at one end then dug the rest sloped it to carry water away. What's the weight the pipe can withstand, so if you use a truck, or heavy load to drive over it, it doesn't crack.
my garden has it
Why not have rain water tanks and collect all that water from the shed roof?
👍🙏❤️🙏
🧐 Interesting, for years I was a landscape contractor in AL and I never heard of a curtain drain...always called French Drain. Nothing fancy. Must be a yankee thing 😁
Haha... Guess so...
This isn't a curtain drain. It's a french drain. A curtain drain has poly visqueen on one side of the trench, blocking the water from going in the direction undesired. If you would have put poly down one side, no water would get over there at all. Hence the name "curtain" the plastic sheet down one side is the curtain, blocking the direction of water so it can divert. Same way a curtain block sun light in a direction, or viewing eyes in a direction for privacy. And you want to wrap the garden fabric over the top and not leave it exposed, the drainage rock will pack with mud from the top if you don't cover it. Time to dig it up and do it again, and not post videos about things you don't really know about and misinform people. If your viewers get any accurate knowledge let it be my comment. This is a french drain that will fail over time as mud silt sand debris flow in over the top and are caught by the filter fabric that traps it in, over a few years packing in between the crevices of the drainage rock and blocking the pipe.
You talk to much, show us what your going to do.
