IMO it would be easier to put the drain inline(in the middle) and have the fall toward the garage as that is where it appears to be going anyway. That's what the other 2 concreters said, a grate style drain near alfresco and a channel grate right in front of the roller door. chrisandkate EmeryBB I cannot build up that area due to the builder's stupid slab foundation and 1 brick course dam-proof construction. I cannot see why this would cause an issue. It's not an issue as long as I don't concrete it higher than the bottom of the first brick. It is in the Part 3.3.4.5(c) of the BCA, Damp-proof course-installation states that "the height of a damp-proof course, or flashing serving as a damp-proof course, must be not less than 150mm above the adjacent ground level; or 75mm above the finished surface level of adjacent paved, concreted or landscaped areas that slope away from the wall" Quote: If you want a garden bed I can draw up something that may work.
