Product Information

Full details

The PBSL Group 60mm x 25m perforated land drain pipe is an essential solution for homeowners, landscapers, and contractors needing to manage sub-surface water effectively. It is designed for projects such as garden drainage, soakaways, and clearing waterlogged soil to prevent foundation or turf damage. While the pipe is highly durable and compliant with BS4962 standards, installers should ensure the trench is correctly backfilled with clean gravel to prevent the small drainage holes from becoming clogged with fine sediment over time.

FAQs

Can I use this for deep drainage under a driveway?

No. This pipe is designed for soft ground landscaping. It is not rated for the heavy weight loads found under driveways or roads.

What is the best way to connect two lengths of this pipe?

Use standard 60mm land drain connectors which are widely available at hardware and drainage supply stores.

Do I need to wrap the pipe in anything?

Yes, using a geotextile membrane is highly recommended to wrap the entire trench, as it prevents fine silt and soil particles from entering and clogging the perforations.

Does the coil come with connectors?

The product is supplied as a 25m coil of pipe; specific connectors must typically be purchased separately.

What is the maximum depth I can bury this pipe?

This pipe is intended for shallow to medium garden drainage. Generally, depths of up to 600mm-800mm are acceptable, provided the backfill is appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Water is not draining away from the area.

Check the pipe's gradient to ensure it is sloping downwards. Ensure the outfall point is not blocked by debris or soil.

Pipe is crushing during backfilling.

Ensure you are using appropriate granular backfill rather than large, sharp rocks that could puncture or deform the pipe walls.

Drainage performance has dropped over time.

The perforations may have become silted. If no geotextile membrane was used during installation, you may need to re-excavate and flush the system.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Flexible design allows for easy navigation of corners and obstacles
  • Lightweight and simple to transport to the installation site
  • Meets BS4962 quality standards for peace of mind
  • Effective at preventing standing water in gardens and lawns

Cons

  • Requires proper gravel backfill to maintain long-term drainage efficiency
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty load-bearing environments (e.g., under driveways)
  • Small diameter may limit capacity in areas with extremely heavy water volume

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Trench Preparation: Excavate a trench to the required depth, typically 400mm-600mm. Maintain a consistent downward slope toward your water outlet.
  2. Lining: Lay a geotextile drainage fabric along the trench base. This prevents soil from silting up the pipe perforations.
  3. Base Layer: Add a 50mm-100mm layer of clean, rounded gravel or stone at the base.
  4. Placement: Uncoil the 60mm pipe and lay it along the trench, ensuring it sits flat. Use standard drainage connectors if you need to join multiple lengths.
  5. Backfilling: Surround the pipe with additional clean gravel. Fold the geotextile fabric over the top of the gravel before covering with topsoil.
  6. Care: Avoid driving heavy machinery over the area where the pipe is installed, as this 60mm diameter variant is intended for soft landscaping, not heavy traffic load-bearing zones.
