I got ours at Lowes in 10' sections - was cheaper up here than Home Depot was. I was planning on making my own from bent 10g sheet metal and custom cnc plasma cut grates but was running out of time and had to just get it done.
putting down concrete or asphalt?
-Tyler-
niiiice! are you going to have the downspout just dump into the channel drain?
-Tyler-
That is the plan. We have a small sump on the far side and then then elevation drops pretty quickly from there and we are using 4" pipe. I think it will evacuate the water pretty nicely now.
Paving guys are here prepping for paving...."might" happen tomorrow...
That's super cool. Reminds me of the lighting in one of those sneak around games like Splinter Cell or Hitman.![]()

Going to start building the new front stairs next week. Steel c channel side frames with concrete treads and cable railings.
It has rained so much since we did the channel drain upgrade and it has been working perfectly!
you got a forklift handy for hefting those things around?
-Tyler-
If by "forklift" you actually mean "my sore back" then yes....
Each tread is 210 lbs and those side rails are close to that as well. The whole assembly with concrete and railings will be about 2500#
Looks nice!

Got the rest of the house mostly painted this long weekend - super hot out and up on a 50' lift for 3 days... really glad that is done..... working on finishing the garage now. I'll post some pics once that is done. I've got some cool ideas brewing.
