We make a drain with our own hands

Master-class for the manufacture of drainage

With the advent of plastic bottles in our everyday life, open space for imagination. That only of them do not build - toys, garden ornaments, ladies' accessories, chandeliers, ottomans, even build summer houses. By the way about the houses, since there is a house with a roof, then under it there must be a drain. Lovers of crafts can easily build a trough.

The first thing you need to measure the necessary perimeter under the roof of the house and the height of the wall. Proceeding from the received sizes, we prepare half-liter or two-liter bottles. It will take a container with a straight center in the form of an even cylinder. To fasten parts of the pipe you need:

• furniture or a powerful stationery stapler;
• staples for stapler;
• scissors;
• thin wire;
• burner for hole making;
• drill.

Assembling the drainage from PET containers

1. We made measurements at the very beginning, and now we need to draw a simple drawing. Calculate the approximate number of bottles, approximately plan the slope of the trough.
2. Then we prepare the tanks - soak them in warm soapy water, take off all the labels, because it will not be nice, if in time these papers will hang with rags from your drain.
3. Cut out the middle cylindrical part and cut it from one side to the whole length. Get a rolled roll.
4. The obtained parts are joined by a stapler overlapping up to 1 cm. For greater reliability, you can sew the parts with wire instead of a stapler, having previously done along the edges of the hole. Then they can be anything to cover, even plasticine is suitable for the first time.
5. The most important thing remains - to attach the drain to the roof. Through equal intervals in the slate we drill holes, and in the trough we burn openings with a soldering iron or burner. It is necessary to calculate so that each hole is opposite to each other. We fix the chute with wire.
6. It's time to start reclamation to protect the walls from water flows. We cut off the neck of one bottle, leaving the bottom unharmed. This is a kind of turn, in the side of the tank we cut out the hole so that the drainage pipe can fit into it. And from the other bottle we make a cylinder. We connect one into one all bottles with cut off bottoms. They are fairly firmly snapped together, but for reliability we fasten parts of the trough.

That's all the wisdom, you temporarily protect your house or dacha from excessive dampness.

Other drainage application

Such a simple design, of course, can not decorate a capital house. This is more of a temporary solution to the problem, but at the dacha to this device, careful owners have found another very useful application. As a rule, in cottages all the time interruptions of water and every drop of gold. Therefore, such a drain can be done at the cottage, and the gutter is taken to a large barrel. Rain water is very useful for plants and thus you will always have a supply of water.
