A 2 year update would be awesome. I'm about to embark on this exact same thing so I'd love to know how it's performing and if you'd do anything differently. Great video. Thanks so much!!
Hey there Will, thanks for the comment. I've been very happy with the drain and the performance so far; no issues at all with setting, rising or movement. The only consideration or call out I would make is that my installation required the drain to be basically "Flat" from end to end because of the paver deck layout, this isn't a huge deal but because of this the drain will hold a shallow amt of water after a rain. If I had to re-do it, I would do it the same way. Let me know if you have other questions or thoughts. Thks!
Thank you for your video. It really touched basis on what I want to do in my pool deck and it really help me a lot. I would go with concrete cement to hold the drain system up so I do not have to worry about nothing.
This looks great. I love this.😅😅 You did a great job. I'm looking to install something like this in an enclosed patio. What do you have at the end of the pipe? Is it just an open pipe? I'm worried about creepy crawlers coming into the patio.😅
Thank you for the nice comment! I have my drain connect to a buried downspout 4" pipe and just have the end open still. Depending on where you run yours to, they make various grates or covers for either PVC pipe or corrugated drain pipe as well. If yours is installed in an enclosed patio you may even be able to use some sort of screen or hardware cloth wire on the end to keep stuff from crawling in since you shouldn't have much leaf or debris getting in the channel drain. Hope this helps, good luck on the project.
Did you have any issues using PVC glue with this channel drain? The material is Polypropylene and NDS suggests avoiding pvc glue and instead use silicone. It doesn’t seem like silicone is a strong enough bond so I’m looking for other options and curious if the PVC glue worked well.
Thanks for sharing this, I didn’t see that info from NDS when installing mine. I have not had any issues that I’ve noticed at all, but I did find I needed to let the pieces set for a bit after glue up before moving, took longer to bond than normal schedule 40 pvc.. probably because it’s actually polypropylene as you have advised. Based on my experience, I’m with you on the silicone, would be a little hesitant, maybe some sort of epoxy adhesive would actually be the best route. Let me know what you end up using and if it works well. Hope this was helpful. Thks!
This is actually a step I still need to do, but I am planning on using Polymeric Sand on the stone and then attempting to also add a bead of caulk or urethane between the stone edge and the drain where they meet. So far, I have had good drainage actually even without either of these steps. Hope this helps, let me know if you have any other questions or ideas here. Thanks for the comment!
I’ve had zero issues with movement or shifting. Everything still looks like the day I installed it. If I had to do it again I would do it the same way. Hope this helps! Thks
I didn’t put any pitch on mine, just kept it level with the finished height of my pavers, no issues with it draining at all, it will however hold a little bit of water and may not flush out dirt/debris due to this as well. No big deal for me though, can easily hose out clean after a couple years. Hope this helps, good luck with the project.
Hey there Joseph, I have not, this is the only one I have installed and it was on my own project. You may search for videos of someone installing in a driveway to get some ideas on the approach there or the link below may give a good starting point as well: ua-cam.com/video/wmSNlFueFVQ/v-deo.html Hopefully this is a little helpful. Good luck on the project!
Hey there, I guess the only way to truly keep it from freezing is to have your PVC down below the frost line in your area. I get well below freezing in my area over the winter and have not had any issues so far with my installation.
It’s really not pitched because of the orientation to the pool deck pavers, but has worked great regardless. Little standing water after a rain, maybe 1/8”, but dries quick. I would do it the same way of doing again.
This was a well explained video. I really appreciate the detail put into it

It looks really good. Excellent job!
Thanks for an excellent educational video. I learned a lot.

Very much explained
Soon to install mine at home (pool section)
Hey there, thanks for the comment! Good luck on the project, hope it turns out great.

Nice job ! It looks awesome
Thank you, appreciate the positive feedback!
Job looks great
Did you seal the edge gap between the pavers and the drain? Did you just use Polymeric sand or caulk so water would flow right in?
This is actually a step I still need to do, but I am planning on using Polymeric Sand on the stone and then attempting to also add a bead of caulk or urethane between the stone edge and the drain where they meet.

Hey how well did the drain stay in place without concrete?
I’ve had zero issues with movement or shifting. Everything still looks like the day I installed it. If I had to do it again I would do it the same way. Hope this helps! Thks
Please can you tell me where I can find india website and or where I can purchase this exact drain system?
Hi there , does the channel drain has a slope or can i leave it level since it will be open on one side ? thank you

You maybe could have used just the spikes themselves to hold your drain in place rather than the spikes to hold paver guard.
Have you ever installed a channel drain, similar to this one, in an existing travertine pool deck that is held with cement?

channel drain to be installed in pool deck and ran to pvc and run under concrete, how to keep from freezing in winter?

You can also use clear primer
Great call!
@@SeldomRest does the color used really matter?
Color doesn't matter, the purple stuff will just stain whatever you get it on.
NDS come on, get that branding off you tops... who do you think you are?
Hey man, a company has a right to brand it stuff, if you don’t like it but something else
Ok good point, but no need to be mean!
Pretty sure this guy eats peanut butter sandwiches with chili... just seems like that type of guy
