Fully cover / grid for pedestal paving.

[Conor]

Hi.

 

Suspended paving on on balcony is nearly down. I've two rainwater downpipes coming down from roof above. Intention is they flow though the paving and then onto the GRP deck and down through the outlets for the deck itself.

 

How do I manage this? First thought was to core a 75mm hole in the pavers and have the downpipe go through and simply spill on to the deck with a normal shoe. Issue is that will introduce a load of debris that will then get stuck on the deck and potentially clog the outlets. 

 

So I'm now thinking of fitting a gully grid to the pavers and have the downpipe spill on to these. Then all the autumn time crap can be dealt with. Question is how to I go about doing a neat job of this? I can't see how I can easily fit a grid and frame to a paver and support it. Is there a bespoke product for this? Or do I just rob one from a standard fully trap and find a way to fix it?

Oh, they could work. Pricy, but will catch all those horrible sycamore seeds.
