INSTALLATION AS A DRYWELL
Knock out or cut out the 1 inch ports to allow water to drain out. Hit the “X
” marks on the inside of each panel with a small hammer. Rest the outside of the drywell atop a 2 by 4 laid close to the hole being removed. As you might guess, this is a great time to have a bored 10 year old handy. Knock out 4 inch port in top lid and side panels as needed for pipe connections.
If you are NOT planning to fill under and around with gravel, wrap landscaping fabric around the drywell to prevent soil from entering the drain holes and secure in place with duct tape. When back filling with gravel, install landscaping fabric above gravel layer (as per sketches at top of page).
