Review on NDS FWAS24 50 Gallon Flo Stormwater Dry Well System Kit with Three Side Panels & One Cover, Black by Dennis Reed

I just finished installing today but I'm optimistic the system will help us with some of our heavy rains. Prior to installation, any major fall will flood our patio, and even with normal sprinkler operation, drainage is required at the edge of the patio. As for assembly, I followed the advice of other reviewers and assembled the drum in the garage the night before. I used construction glue in the gaps between the three sides, bent the gap and applied a bead of glue between them before slipping the ratchet strap around the center of the fully assembled cylinder and letting it sit overnight. It helped a lot when I started installing the next day. He got along really well. The knockouts were hit or miss, but mostly came off easy. I used triple wall tubing, a black cloth sleeve that NDS lays on top of the drum and then used strong landscape fabric around the opening and over the drum. Everything was fairly easy to set up and the drum held together well when loaded with river rock. I stood on the drum's lid while we threw stones in to hold it in place. I also installed a top drain as in the summer our kids ride water slides, slide and burn and play with the hose in the yard. In general everything went pretty smoothly, just a lot of dirty work and measurements.
