Jeff Krauter, a homeowner in Roanoke, Indiana, was looking to upgrade the drainage on his 25-year-old concrete pool deck. The existing system was outdated, dirty, worn, and partially broken, which led to leaks and inconsistent water flow. It was not only failing in function but also detracting from the overall appearance of his outdoor space. Since the area experiences regular foot traffic and serves as a central feature of his patio and pool area, Jeff needed a solution that was both highly functional and visually appealing.

The Challenge

His pool deck’s original drains had become too worn to function properly. They were not only failing to function properly, but they were dated, and the dingy appearance was making the entire patio look dated and unkept. Jeff and his wife Cindy wanted a solution that improved drainage and elevated the look of their outdoor space with a modern, refreshed design.

The Solution

Jeff found thie Vodaland system online and was intrigued by its size and functionality. He chose it for its robust, high- quality features, specifically the 304 stainless steel grate. To start the installation, he had to remove the old drain with a walk behind concrete saw. He then installed 34 feet of Vodaland’s Easy TWO – 4 Inch Stainless Pro channels. The entire system was then encased in fresh concrete. To add an extra layer of protection, Jeff brought in a contractor to apply a cycloaliphatic coating across the entire area.

The Results

The Easy TWO – 4 Inch Stainless Pro channels truly transformed Jeff and Cindy’s outdoor space, restoring both its functionality and aesthetic appeal. With this upgrade, they no longer worry about drainage issues, and their pool deck looks refreshed, sleek, and modern. Jeff and Cindy are thrilled with the results and enjoy their improved space every day. As Jeff concluded, “I highly recommend Vodaland products for projects like this because of their exceptional quality and ease of installation.”
