Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, excavate a hole deep enough to accommodate the crate and a layer of gravel underneath for drainage. Wrap the crate completely in the provided geotextile membrane to prevent fines from entering the system. Once placed in the hole, surround the unit with shingle or clean gravel to improve infiltration rates before backfilling with soil. It is compatible with standard 110mm drainage piping. Care is minimal; since the geotextile membrane prevents soil ingress, the system is largely maintenance-free once installed correctly. Avoid installing the crate near building foundations to prevent potential ground saturation issues near your home.
