Just put stone on and do the job properly.

So you want to put rubber leachate into groundwater? Then pay to get your land decontaminated when the clipboard weilders turn up?

Whole lot of things not adding up here.

Rubber will break down in time it will block the pipe up not to mention the pollution it will cause long term.

They half the weight of stone
I've no idea if they any cheaper though or if legislation allows it , I've done a fair bit of drainage with tyre bales that are free for collection and is allowed

What type of stone do people prefer to use? I had a fella draining for me once that said pea gravel was best for drains but I’m sure I read on this forum that 50mm clean was what you wanted?

I can’t find it, do you know what the code is for this Grant?

I use 40mm clean limestone mostly. Still working and still clean after 20 years here. Pea gravel works well, but doesn’t go as far.

40-50mm clean normally used but one quarry does a 28mm which is more gentle on the pipe.

50mm limestone out of llynclys quarry on recent job
rather french fries
How about something like this or similar ruffled up over perforated flexi pipe.

To be honest often the water comes from spring points every so often rather than surface unless you are mole ploughing across the drains but we all tend to stone the whole length
