Hello, I am paving a 5 x 5 metre patio with 600mm x 400mm x 40mm concrete paving slabs. The original garden has been excavated to a depth of 900mm in some areas so I have built a Tobermore retaining wall around the area and the patio will have Aco brickslot drain at the threshold to discharge...

Thank you Ivor. Yes, I guess I was expecting it to be easier, or to find a short cut, thankfully wiser minds here to guide me! I really appreciate your advice.

Hello, Looking advice on a DIY install of Aco slot drain to existing drainage. I am uncertain as to what type of hopper or gulley I need to connect to the Aco drain. Hopefully the pictures below show what is existing. The Aco upstand is roughly positioned where it will be when wall is rendered...
