Looking for some suggestions on setting up downfall for drainage.
We are looking a laying down 600x600x20 pavers to an area approximately 14x3.6m (50sqm)
So I didn't go by the saying of measure twice and setup my retaining wall to approx the same height as my house which leave me no room for any down fall into the garden beds.
I know its advisable to not set a slope back towards the house and setup a pre sloped channel drain along the house or the other option is to slope towards the centre but requires cutting the pavers in to two along where the string line sits.
If I sloped it toward the garden bed there would be a step up to step down the step.
Yep was looking at these which require a fall. If I installed a channel drain it would need to be dead level.
I am looking at Aco drains
http://www.acodrain.com.au/klassikdrain/k100/index.htm they are presloped so water doesn't sit in the channel.
My concern is if I run the fall back towards the house would this be a problem? Obviously if the area floods water would build up near the foundation.
I would never slope the paving towards the house. . . . why risk damaging the foundation of your house.
I've installed over 30 metres of Everhard, and it works well.
Another option is RELN, and they offer different sizes for various flow levels.
http://www.reln.com.au.ds015.imagri.com.au/Products/Surface_Water_DrainageReln seems to offer more accessories, e.g. pits etc.
Prices for each differ depending on the "big" store you choose.
Setting up little pads underneath using bags of concrete can help. Just double check the fall is correct before it sets.

Same advice I've been getting...

Thanks, I've looked at both products but the installation recommends the channel to be installed with a fall of 30cm for every 20meters. Hence why I have chosen the pre sloped channel drains.
