Flexible Trench Drain?

[Mycool]

My pool deck slopes away like it is supposed to, but about half of the pool deck is close to the house. The planters tend to get a lot of water in them on a heavy swimming day and collect dog hair (2 labs). I was thinking of putting in a trench draining "system" around the current pool deck and lead it away from the planters on the house side of things. My pool deck is curved, so I was thinking of some kind of flexible trench drain with a grated top and line deck near the house with it.

I have had no luck finding something like this. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Mike

Why not a trench with some river rock and this?

Have you looked at getting a thin channel drain by Stegmeier or NDS? Their smallest systems, about 1.5" wide, are flexible enough to be bent if you want a small curve. But if you get a lot of water, I would recommend a bigger drain.. not only will it drain more efficiently but the grates have pretty classy options as well!

Good luck!
