I also have an overflow pipe. Can't remember if it is an 18 or 20 inch pipe. When we get a hard, quick rain...like tornado weather, it is almost like Niagra Falls back there. Does anyone have 'pictures' of the best way to set up the outflow side of the pipe to make sure you do not have washing problems, or problems with debris hanging up on it.
From the edge of the pipe to the 'drop off' is about five or six feet, slightly sloped. But then it drops straight down about five or six feet. I have been thinking about using some treated landscape timbers...slightly v'ed out from the pipe opening, then concrete the open area and round up the sides. But then what do I do about the big drop off? I found out Thursday night, that much water can move a 40-50 lb rock quite easily! The drop off part is on my neighbor's pasture land. I don't think he would mind (I'd make sure) something reasonable but wouldn't want to step on his goodwill!
