I have 20ft by 10ft area of paving outside the back door. 400mm square paving slabs.
The problem is poor drainage with pools of water on the lower points after rainfall.
I had the thought of a plastic paint bucket or two, with holes drilled in, sunk in underneath the slabs and bedded in with gravel. I can put treated wood boards under the paving slabs to support them.
Easy enough to lift a couple of slabs and bail out the collected water from the buckets.
Can anyone see a problem with this idea ?
