Please read these before you start
How your Rainwater Terrace® works
When it rains the optional Rainwater Diverter (1) collects water from the downpipe and
starts to fill both of the containers (2) through the inlet tube (3). The level of water is
visible in the Drain-tube (4)
When they are full the water will overflow down the central tube (5), into the top of
the plinth and back to the drain through the Outlet Tube(10).
Every time it rains sufficiently water flows through the whole system so minimising
stagnant water.
Water can be drained from the containers through the Drain-tube. This has a built-in
tap that allows very rapid filling of watering cans or buckets.
The top planter (7) and side planters (8) are provided with special Capillary mats that
draw up water from the planter trays (6) and feed your plants from the bottom.
Because you only have one layer of containers the planter trays must be topped up
manually through one of the spare side planter receptacles.

The only tools you will need are for fixing the wall brackets to your wall and
fitting the Diverter kit and drain outlet tube. See instructions later.
