Downspout and French Drains for Pole Barn House

4 years ago

I'm digging the diy french drains and gutter downspout drains for the pole barn house. I want the water to drain away on the uphill side of the building. I used 3/4 washed gravel for the drain and switched to all solid pipe and just used dirt where i don't need to drain after it gets past the house. I didn't do topsoil to show it in this but it would be good to cover with a fabric on top of the gravel before adding dirt. I recommend this rigid pipe over the black corrugated pipe any day. I worked with an excavator for a year and we replaced a lot of the black pipe that had just plugged up and didn't work anymore. I hope this video may be helpful if you are wanting to dig your own drains.
