Description
A Soakaway Crate is designed to manage and disperse surface water efficiently, reducing the risk of flooding and standing water around buildings, driveways, patios and landscaped areas. Installed below ground and connected to a rainwater downpipe or drainage system, the crate creates a void space that allows water to gradually drain back into the soil.
Manufactured from high-strength polypropylene, the crate is lightweight for easy handling, yet robust enough to withstand vehicular or ground loads when installed correctly.
