Also I think it will look better with the lines broken up a bit as this is a big pour and don't want it to look too brutal The initial thought/plan was a uninterrupted pour but i need the elevation to tip the downspout and have the end above ground. Right where the downspout is currently will be a single step up, and then between the windows will be another step. This mockup shows basically where the ours is going. This is the current slab and a look at the downspout:


The garden looks like **** because i know it's getting ripped out so i haven't tended it. That said, it's very feasible that I could decorate/hide it myself afterward with some interesting woodwork, etc but I do want to make sure that I install the proper materials so that I never have to worry about the quality of this downspot.Īpologies for my crummy phone drawing skills, this visual representation might make it easier to explain. Most of this will be buried but the point where the aluminum downspout connects to this new buried pipe is right near the front door so I don't want it to look cheap. I found the flange converters for a 4x3 downspout to the black corrugated plastic downspout extensions, but they are ugly, and I assume not rigid enough to have concrete poured over them.

So I would like to bury the downspout under the patio and have what I hope is a somewhat attractive flange that the downspout connects into before going under the patio.Ĭan I accomplish this with a piece of abs? Is there a specialty product or kit I should be looking at? Answers seem to be conflicting.

There is an ill-placed downspout right near the front door and when it reaches the ground it elbows off into a long extension, this is essentially the borderline between where the current patio ends and the garden begins, where I will now pour a new patio space. I am pouring a new driveway and including an extension to create some patio space in front of the house. Apologies if this has been discussed recently, I did a quick search and did not find anything specific to my question.
