Can anyone tell me what an acorn drain is? We're having our drive done and been told they'll install one, but I've never heard of them.

Thanks

I think you'll find that Acorn is the make, and they're talking a surface water drain, Perhaps a strip in front of the garage for example.

Usually called alco drain, it is a grated type gulley that takes surface water usually situated in front of openings such as garage doors and openings that have no threshold.

I'll join in, round here they call it ACO drain?
