aco drain placement for water run off at the back of garage

[mdemetri2]

Hi

I recently found we get a hell of a lot of water run off from the two gardens at the back of our garden - which are about a foot higher than our garden. The main problem comes from a particular section, at the back of my garage, which incidently has an extended concrete base at the back.

What I intend to do is install a storm drain channel (aco drain), but not not sure of its placement i.e. closer to the garage, closer to my fence, straight line or an 'L' shape?

Once I get the water problem sorted I intend to make a lean to at the back of the garage covering the extended base where I can store things.

I have attached a drawing.

At risk of stating the obvious, place your channel drain at the point where water collects first......a very gentle fall is needed for the drain to go into a water course also, which could determine its position.
