Trench Drain System with Grates

A modular trench drain system with grates that captures and redirects surface water across driveways, garages, and patios. The three-piece channel design installs in a single run or splits into separate drainage points.

Why this Trench Drain System with Grates works

• Three-piece modular channel: Use all three sections end-to-end for a long run, or split them to drain separate problem spots in one project.
• Removable grates: Pop the grates off for quick cleanouts. Leaves, soil, and debris come out fast with no special tools.
• Plastic construction: Lightweight, rust-proof, and easy to cut to length with a hand saw.
• Handles common surface runoff: Built for typical patio, garage door threshold, and driveway flow rates. Catches sheet runoff before it pools or runs indoors.
• Versatile install: Sets into a poured concrete channel, a paver border, or a gravel-bedded trench depending on where the drain goes.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I install a trench drain?
Trench drains are installed where surface water needs to be intercepted: across garage door openings, along driveways, around patios and pool decks, and at the low edge of a slope where water collects.

Can I cut the drain to length?
Yes. The plastic channel can be cut with a fine-tooth hand saw or jigsaw. Cut from the side opposite the connection lip to keep edges square.

How do I keep it from clogging?
Lift the grates twice a year and rinse out debris. In leafy yards, check after fall and after heavy spring storms. Quick cleaning keeps flow rate near maximum.

Does it drain into a pipe?
Yes. The channel includes an outlet that connects to standard drainage pipe so collected water can be routed to a daylight outlet, dry well, or storm drain.
