How to install a soakaway Part 4 # with a silt trap.

[@Jaya365]

Putting one of these in my back garden. Just taken 40 tonne of topsoil off and it was sloped. House behind is higher as well. Hottest day of year and my lawn is a swamp. Looking at putting in a French drain with one of these at the end then connecting to an inspection rodding drain. Good job these vids are on yt as I wouldn't have a clue otherwise

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Glad it helped you let me no how it all works out Justin 👍💯

Hi Jaya365, have exactly the same problem. Waiting for better weather to put my 150mm double skinned pipe french drain and soakaway in.

Do you have a link to where I can buy this particular silt trap?

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Was a few years ago now cant remember sorry.Just google silt trap and you should find something similar 👍

[@Bogmrh]

All good mate, what do you guys use to cut the silt square to level with the ground @@brickrightbuildinglandscaping

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

@@Bogmrh Can use a normal wood saw or a disc cutter

Jeez £300 + for that 🤯 . I made my own at our old house . A couple of plastic IC rings . Concrete base 1 pipe In 1 pipe out about 100 mm above the base so any silt collects at the bottom . No fancy filter to pull out , a gardeners trowel sufficed for clearing it out . Jobs a good n 👌🏼🧱👍🏽

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Its a bit deap for that but i do agree its a ridiculous price for it but they were all the same prices .The client can maintain it easily so im happy but yea you could make your own steve no issue with that . It did go in quick and easy so i fitted it for free so 👍

[@SteveAndAlexBuild]

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Happy days .👌🏼 yeah mine was only about foot deep 😏👍🏽🧱

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

@@SteveAndAlexBuild Its a cracking idea you had though Steve. I just wanted a good job for my customer mate some wouldn't even offer it .i was aware it wasn't cheap i agree with you an that so i did it at no labour charge . The can keep the soakaway clean now so my job is done mate 👍all the best steve

[@DiscoFang]

Fairy Liquid isn’t good to use on rubber o-rings or seals. Fairy and Dawn detergents are petroleum based. Which is why they’re such good cleaners but they’ll degrade plain rubber.

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Yea thought as much people dont realise do they .Thanks for clearing that up . Justin 👍

[@DiscoFang]

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping Yeah I find it really odd when people wilfully do something without knowing if it’s ok or not. Their response might be “But I didn’t know that”. Well, not-knowing is why you shouldn’t have done it, not why you should! It’s arse-backwards.

[@DiscoFang]

@@brickrightbuildinglandscaping btw, great vid. I wouldn’t have found this if you hadn’t split the vids into parts. I was only interested in a simple silt trap for a pond inlet that is filled by surface runoff. I’ll probably run 2 of these inline. Cheers!

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

@@DiscoFang glad we could help good luck with the pond 👍👊🙂

[@dannyhogi4953]

Spot on has all ways

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Thanks Danny all the best mate 👍

[@MMD-z6z]

100 mil chips - dont you mean 10 mil chips?

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

Think what i mean is 100mm of chippings around the outside of soakaway 👍

[@scoyle1750]

£80 including vat I can get that for you have been had son in fact you can get it for £55 without the bucket or maybe you are charging £350 for slit trap and installation

[@brickrightbuildinglandscaping]

I priced up a fair few and priced it up in keyline all the same price just over £300 so id be more than happy to listen where you get yours from.I fitted it for no charge . So where do you get yours from for future reference then ? Justin

[@karenkardashian839]

I’ve been looking too and can’t find one below £300 so I’d be interested where you got one for £80 to??
