ABSTRACT:
A sidewall extension member for use with a drainage channel system of the type characterized by a plurality of drainage channel segments of progressively greater depth adapted to be interlocked end-to-end to provide a below grade gravity feed sloping drainage run of a predetermined length, each of the channel segments comprising a pair of opposing, spaced-apart side walls, a bottom wall connecting the side walls adjacent one end thereof, and a top opening opposite the bottom wall, the side walls and the bottom wall defining a fluid carrying space therebetween and the top opening defining a fluid entrance adapted to receive a grate. The sidewall extension member includes first and second sidewall extension panels formed of a cementitious material for being positioned on and received and supported by respective side walls of the drainage channel in longitudinally extending alignment therewith. The first and second sidewall extension panels define a fully unobstructed bottom opening communicating with the top opening of the drainage channel, opposing end openings and an opposing top opening and first and second spaced-apart crossbars extending across the sidewall extension member from the first sidewall extension panel to the second sidewall extension panel to connect the first and second sidewall extension panels together into a unit.
