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

Worked, but i needed to be inventive with fittings as theae are probably standard in china not standard sizings in Ireland.

I installed three of the trench drains and have eight more to install. I was disappointed to find that HDPE plastic is very difficult to glue in. You really need a special welding machine that melts the HDPE and filler rod with hot air. Also, none of the fittings really seemed to fit standard plastic pipe. All were too loose or too tight. I put the three sections together with the slotted covers off, and then mechanically attached 4 inch drain and waste pipe cut to fit inside the discharge end.. I then filled the small spaces left with RTV. Seems to work just fine.

No available accessories that i could find and no instructions. Decent product for the money. End result turned out well

Need to be in a neutral to cool climate would not suggest using them in Arizona Texas areas where it exceeds hundreds of degrees daily after day because they are wide and they will melt

The drain itself is perfect for what was needed. The issue with it is that none of the side or end pipe rings will fit a drainage pipe or any of the drainage fittings. Had to silicone the 3-inch elbow onto the end connection point in order to get the drainpipe to work for carrying the water away.

I wish I had read the negative reviews before buying. There are a few problems with the design of this: 1) The pipe connections are metric. Good luck finding something that will fit. I had to glue a connector to a corrugated pipe 2) They do not connect to each other easily. When you put them end against end one always flexes. One has to hammer them together so there is less of a gap between units 3) The worst part, the length of the grate is wrong. If you put both end caps, the grates do not fit. I had to cut one grate in order to make it fit. All in all I wish I had gotten something else. The material seems to be good, I will have to see in time

As the saying goes you get what you paid for. I'm not overly disappointed with the purchased but I think there's room for improvement in the quality department. The channel drain itself is well designed but it could stand to be a little bit more sturdier. The connections between the sections also could be a little bit more secure. I ended up having to put metal corner brackets between the sections because they kept on disconnecting and I also used silicone to waterproof the seams. Other reviews you may have read about the size of the outlet to connect PVC or corrugated drain pipe are accurate. I found no elbows for couplings that will snuggly fit the outlet on the bottom of this drain. I modified it to work with other fittings but it's not ideal.

the instructions and pipe connections didnt work

There is no way to connect to either 3 or 4 inch drain pipe! After talking by email to AI and no real person after asking several times I just gave up and accepted the $50 partial refund and I am going to duct tape it together!!!!

This is definitely not a good alternative to the options at big box stores. It’s flimsy and flexible rather than rigid and durable. There is no way it would hold up to vehicle traffic—it even flexes under my weight when I walk on it. The grates don't have enough openings, causing water to pool and bypass the channel when used alongside a driveway. To make matters worse, the pre-formed pipe connections aren't standard sizes, so I had to rig my own setup with extra fittings. I fully expect to replace this within a couple of years. Save your time and money.
