Hi Bunnings Experts,
I have an almost triangular shape side yard in between mine and neighbour’s wall that I hope to make it a functional area. The fence area on the right is the entry door from the front. Size is around 35m2.
Since this will be my own project and we are not quite a handyman, what will be the easiest thing to do ? I personally love gravels/pebbles and maybe some pavement for outdoor seats . Do I have to leave some gap on the side for rain water drainage ?
Any advice is appreciated .
Thank you !
Melanie
Hello @melanietham
Let me try and answer your questions.
- I'm under the impression that you'll be installing agi-pipe drainage in a French drain configuration? If so, my only advice is to make sure that you have enough fall so that the water drain away from that location. Do you need to dig deeper? Yes, it might be necessary to dig deeper. Please remember that if you link your agi-drain to your storm water drain you'll need the services of a plumber so that it will be connected safely and in compliance with local rules and regulations.
- Spreading the excess sand is perfectly ok, my best advice is to make sure that the surface is level.
- Tamping will be sufficient; there is no need to glue the gravel together.
Let me call on our experienced members @diy_hausdesigns and @Remarka6le for their recommendations.
