Leaching unit having overhanging and perforated canopy
A plastic leaching unit for receiving water when buried in trenches in soil comprises a plurality of pillars interconnected by struts. A canopy made of sheet material is attached to the tops of the pillars. The pillars are arranged as spaced apart integral assemblies to enable lateral and vertical bending of the leaching unit, for conforming to a not-straight trench. Preferably, the canopy comprises a second perforated sheet overlying a first sheet having larger perforations, the combination arranged for flow of water and gases while hindering soil particulates. Preferably, the canopy extends a greater amount from the first end of each unit than from the second end, to facilitate end-to-end mating of the units. Leaching units may be stacked one upon the other within a trench.
