Patio Fall

Posted by Stephen Gibbons, on
Hi I am planning on laying a 3.6 x 3.6 patio, with slightly textured concrete paving, it is in the middle of my garden nowhere near my house. However I have been threating over the fall for water, the British standard states 1.60 or 17mm for every metre, and if I look for answers anywhere, there's lots of conflicting views, so for the patio I'm laying, that would be over a 5.5cm fall, and I'm afraid that would be awful, and far too steep, I would like to know your thoughts,Thanks.
