Whether you're building a deck or adding a patio, one of the best drainage solutions for the job is to install linear outdoor drains. These are effective because they remove water quickly and efficiently. They also feature crisp lines and can be combined with modern materials, giving you the look you want for your outdoor space.

Linear outdoor drains come in a variety of styles. You can choose between a wall-to-wall channel, a pre-sloped trench drain, and a slot drain. The type of drain you choose depends on your needs. The design of the drain will also have a direct effect on where it's installed. For instance, if you have a sloped patio, you'll need a linear drain so that water will run away from the area.

These types of drains are also available in site-sizeable models, which can be adjusted to fit a larger space. These models can be connected with additional drain connections for more drainage options. They're also available with side outlets and bridge pieces. This allows for rerouting the outlet if needed.

The benefits of linear drains are many, including the fact that they can be installed anywhere. You can have one installed in front of your garage door or on the base of a sloped driveway. They are also available in a variety of materials, including metal and plastic polymers. They also feature a durable grate covering that helps reduce maintenance costs.
