Deck Drains - Looking for Recommendations

[ddurrett896]

Pouring my pool deck in a couple weeks and looking for deck drain recommendations. Haven't ruled out strip drains, however I really don't like the look.

Instead, looking at spot drains. The 2 sides of my pool that needs drains has an overhand with 22' spans. Would like to place a spot drain in between each, that's tied into a 3" PVC line. Anyone have a recommendation? Big box stores have some traditional ones, but looking for something a little nicer. Thanks!

I used pour-a-lid drains on our deck, they blend in very nicely.

We used the pour a lid skimmer covers as well as their channel drain. I don’t have a pic of the drain, as it is under the dining table in this pic, but you can see the skimmer lids. They look sooo much better than the standard ones. Very pleased with them.

I really like their channel drain! I've been looking at several options and haven't loved any of them. It's a little pricey, but this may be the winner. Also looking at the NDS slim channel drain, which is significantly cheaper and I think looks a little better than 'traditional' deck drain.

I ended up going with the 4" drains and man they are slick. Even my concrete guys were blown away with how nice they looked and functioned. My only call out is that I tied in a bunch of drains and gutters so went with 3" schedule 40 because of all the different fittings I needed.

These don't fit on Schedule 40. I had to take the fitting and dremel out some of the material, making it thinner to make this fit. Took maybe 5 minutes each one and once I glued they were rock solid. Highly recommend!
