Customer Reviews for VEVOR Drainage Trench Driveway Channel Drain Kit Plastic Grate-5.8

Great product. Used this trench drain instead of standard one for double the price at big box store. This is wider, stronger and best of all - much easier to clean out than others that have so many little screws... These lift out without removing screws. My only complaint: These would be much easier to use if they had cut-outs or mountings available for attaching standard 3" and/or 4" flexible drain pipe. With this, it was best for me to manually cut an opening, apply a PVC adapter from 3" schedule 40 pvc pipe to 3" flexible drain pipe. Home depot has the adapter by NDS. Be sure to glue well to seal all gaps where channel is manually cut - I used black jack roof cement in a tube for extra assurance.

I ordered two six packs and they arrived in a timely manner. There was some minor damage to two pieces, but nothing that affected the usefulness. So far, I have only dry fitted all 40' of drain, but it looks really nice. They seem very heavy duty (compared to Home Depot stuff). Even dry fitted in the cement cut trench they have been effective with the last rain. The drains will be running out into the yard about 60' and then exit through a installed opening at ground level. The installed drain will rest on a sand bed, and the fit will be sealed in with crack filler.

So far they are working for the job I'm having done, they arrived on time and easy to set in and work with.

Easy to use, they slip together and the grate will slide to lock it into place. Only downside if you need to caulk/seal them

Muy buena compra fácil montaje. Acierto

The plastic is highly recycled, It should be ductile, but it fractures brittly in strange places. Fortunately it gets embedded in concrete otherwise it'd be total garbage. I wish they offered right angles. The openings in the end caps are more than an inch above the bottom of the trough, creating a void space when joined at 90 degrees. The water flows out of the gap at the bottom into the soil requiring a lot of hot-glue to fill the gap. If I had to do it again, I'd've miter-cut the troughs and glued it up rather than use the 'interlocking cap' on the side. Hey, live & learn... If anyone is interested and is willing to pick them up, I have a series of 56 2x4 boards with gradually increasing blocks that allow the units to hang from the concrete forms and pitch down, and one spare trough -- FOR SALE -- CHEAP! It was necessary because I installed these along the front & side of my 30 x 50 building.

Purchased these almost 3 years ago and finally got around to installing them. The initial price was pretty good but the availability of the correct fittings/adapters needed to connect them to a drain line, the fact that they were all slightly bowed and sagged, and that they do not lock into one another meant I had to put more effort and time into making them work. That was part of the reason I delayed the project for so long. I wish I would have just purchased a better quality product from a local store that had all the extra parts and accessories on the shelf.

Sturdy and strong. Difficult to angle sections in anything but 90 degrees. Good quality for the price.

You cannot beat the price. Quality of the stainless grate were goodz bonus they still had the film stainless comes with to prevent getting marked up, was nice to leave it on and peel after concrete. The plastic seems quality and strong but its not as rigid as you get from NDS but at a fraction of the cost, who cares. The way the 3 ft sections connect could be improved, the dont exactly lock together they join well enough for a flush connection as long as they are going down on a smooth flat base, so getting the base perfect is important. I put my 3" pipe up through the bottom of the channel and let the pipe sit about 1.5" from the bottom of channel to act as a sand trap and put a grate on the end of the pipe to stop any floatinh debris like leave. I would definitely recommend mixing a bag of crete and setting the drain so it doesn't move during the pour
