Concrete Splash Blocks?

[GeauxLSU]

Because the rain barrels that the gutters feed into are sitting on 16"x16" concrete pavers and I'd like the overflow hose to empty into a splash block that is the same material as the pad. It's completely obsessive/compulsive and anal retentive....but well, that's who my wife married.

It's important to admit one's limitations.
There are plenty that 'look like' concrete. Still won't be able to sleep?
By the way, you're storing carcinogens in your rain barrels from roof shingle runoff.... Sleep well.

Simple solution is to get a Shockwave. EVERY BIT as good as a stock and no tax-... oh wait, nevermind, that was another thread...

Seriously though, I've dug out a bit under the downpipe before, set a small form and shaped what I wanted with Quikrete. You can make it "custom" how you need it and it'll be there. Mine were still good when I sold that house.

By the way, how many do you need?

Not a wink.

I smoke cigars. Bring it.

Besides, I bought a bottle of citronella oil last night and on the back of it there's this label that reads something like this: "pursuant to California Proposition 45, this item has been proven to contain items that cause cancer and birth defects." Somethings gonna get me....good thing I don't like in California. Stuff sounds dangerous.

Buy one of the plastic ones...flip it over to use as a form, pour redi-mix concrete, make as many as you need.

Seems like a good idea to me if you need concrete ones. The plastic ones are probably cheaper than the cost of the cement and your time, though...

Maddeningly enough, only one.

I am screwed then, I have 3100 gallons of rain water stored as of this morning, and I will add another 800 gallons this Saturday.
I will take my carcinogenic rain water anytime. I am afraid we will have a repeat of last summer, with no rain for 4 months, and I want to be prepared....

sigh.... if I have one (which I might, need to look)... I'll trade you for a non cement one.
