Hey,

I am currently laying a patio in my garden.
Due to the nature of the slope of the garden I need to install some linear drainage channels in the patio to compensate for surface runoff.

I want to install ideally stainless steel linear slotted drainage BUT I have to run the drains around a bay window so need a product which I has connecters which allow the drains to change direction (90 degree angles).

I am on a bit of a budget due to spiralling job costs.

I have about 7m of drains to lay and ideally would like to be able to buy that amount (including right angle connectors) for less than £150.

I don't want to use plastic as it won't finish the job off the way I want.

Struggling a bit here, any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

throwback, I think you might have to search for these corners as I've never seen them or heard of them,
angles up to 45º we cut with a disk cutter if we are going round bay's or any change of direction.
the other way of doing this is to set the line out parallel in front of the bay
set your drains up first one slab (or more) out then bring the fall back from the remaining walls.
don't forget to allow for your joints in your measurements. Laughing
