Seeking debris trap for drainage gully
 

Hello -

I'm looking for some kind of filter basket (aka debris trap) to put in a
gully (aka grid aka land-drain) to catch some of the larger gravel and
leaves and prevent the undergound pipes from getting clogged. There's a
delightful high resolution photo of it at
http://www.setters.demon.co.uk/lundycam/gully.jpg. My local builders'
merchant and plumbing centre couldn't help, and I haven't found anything
online.

Is there anywhere that I can buy such an item, or will I have to create some
kind of kitchen-sieve-with-legs?

Thanks

erm take away the coke can? That grid should do what you want and be
easier to clear. If the pipes block that easy they have a more
fundemental fault like too little too much fall or there isn't a trap
underneath that grid.

Hi,

I've seen sheets of small gauge weldmesh (the same type used in
birdfeeders) at the local hardware shop for a few quid. A search on
Google should find a manufacturer, or I could have a look next time I
go there.

cheers,
Pete.
