Re: [MBZ] Okie shop flooded
You need gutters on the roof with drains to carry the water to lower ground. If there is a path to lower ground and you don't mind an open ditch that would be easiest.

Yeah dig a trench around the perimeter of the building, put in some gravel then a drain pipe with gravel over, then connect it to a drain going out to your retention pond or ditch or whatever.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop flooded
I was talking the neighbor the other day and he said he didn’t understand why they didn’t build the pond in that area behind the shop where all the water runs too instead of at the opposite end of the property. I should look into building another one. I wonder how much that costs. The levees themselves are fine. It’s just the water that runs off the roof of the shop collects between the shop and the levee and gets up to the level of the concrete pad then starts coming in. I went back out last night and the water is all run out for the most part. Will air it out today.

Re: [MBZ] Okie shop flooded
Hope you get that figured out, sounds pretty miserable. Are you allowed to dig out a big pond / drainage area? I'd think about that, create a nice big pond, and then all that dirt that is dug out can be used to build up your levees and such to keep water out of the shop.
