Jochen201425 Apr 2017 08:09Good morning,
I am currently looking for a practical solution to the following problem:
I have installed curb stones (4 x 9 m (13 x 30 ft)) and already filled the interior area with lightweight concrete so I can lay terrace slabs on top.
Now I have noticed—no idea how this happened—that the slope of the curb stones is 2% towards the house wall.
The terrace has an area of 36 m² (387 ft²), half of which will be covered.
What could I do to prevent damage later on?
Removing and reinstalling the curb stones would be a very big effort and should be the last option.
I’m considering options like cutting the curb stones with a diamond blade to create the correct slope away from the house wall—which of course would leave an unsightly surface.
Also thinking about installing a channel drain in front of the house wall, among other things.
I would be very grateful if you have any great tips for me? :-)
Best regards
Jochen

Completely without any slope is not really ideal either.
Your question reminds me of a thread from three months ago https://www.hausbau-forum.de/threads/gefaelle-der-terrasse-neben-kaltwintergarten-mit-glasschiebetueren.18533/ – just a reading tip.

thanks for the contributions so far.
Starting completely from scratch would of course be the best but also the most time-consuming solution.
If I actually take out the cutoff saw with a diamond blade and cut the slope to fit –
would there be a way to improve the appearance of the cut surface of the deep curbstones?
Regards
Jochen

Jochen201426 Apr 2017 09:17Another idea just came to mind: separate the curb stones, add a slope, and then put the upper part back in place / concrete it. The cut edge wouldn’t be visible later. But maybe this is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut :-D
What does the current situation look like? Please upload a picture...
