Build a stainless steel stream yourself

Easy installation of the stainless steel channel

The construction of a stainless steel stream is very easy with the help of a prefabricated channel. This simple form consists of several Peel, which are plugged into each other depending on the required length. And that is how it works:

• First measure how long the stream should be and how many gutters you will need for it.
• Various elements are commercially available that can be combined with one another.
• Curvy streams are usually not possible, at most in an angled form.
• Dig out the stream, compact the soil well.
• This must be absolutely level.
• If necessary, level it out with sand or gravel.
• Now pad the pit with a weed protection fleece.
• If you are not installing a water basin, dig in a water reservoir.
• This is located at the lower end of the stream channel.
• There is also the Submersible pump.
• Seal the joints between the individual gutters with waterproof adhesive tape.
• Now screw the connecting plates together.
• Now build in the screwed channel.
• It should be horizontal or have a slight slope towards the water reservoir.
• The return hose should be installed next to (not under!) The stream.
• Perform a test run.
• Cover the edges, for example with gravel, crushed stone or paving stones.

The design of the border determines the overall impression

With a modernist stream made of stainless steel, the design of the environment or Outlines substantially over the overall impression. The shape should be clearly identifiable and sharply outlined, but it does not necessarily have to be rectangular or square. An oval, a circle or narrow stripes also support the formalistic garden image. At best, the motifs are repeated in the further design of the beds, so that a harmonious overall impression is created.
