Introducing FDM’s 12×12 catch basin with a 12×12 turf restrictor plate and 6 in. grate. Boasting a one-gallon capacity for sediment and debris, it is easy to install, quick to connect, and has no screws to secure the grate. It’s simply a press fit, so no screws get lost in the grass.

It’s only 5 inches wide, so it fits in a trench made with a shovel or a trencher. Its easy-to-clean design makes it simple to insert a shop vac wand or use your hand to remove debris and sediment. The rounded interior corners allow for convenient, hassle-free cleaning. This is unlike traditional 12×12 catch basins, where debris gets stuck in the 90° corners.

The 6-inch opening makes it easy to access, and the turf restrictor top prevents grass from growing over it and making it difficult to remove the lid.

This triple patent-pending catch basin has changed yard drainage and how we view it. We no longer have to accept the shortcomings of traditional 12×12 catch basins that require a huge hole to be dug, a top cover that’s difficult to remove, and a sump that’s frustrating to clean. The pipe connections require no drilling or cutting, making this truly the best DIY-friendly catch basin on the market.
