Have a few projects lined up over the next 12 months here

First one is putting in a washbay for washing jeep, tractor Machinery etc

Sourced a 2nd agitation slat with the lid. Going to build a mini tank under it with 6inch blocks I think.
12ft6 slat x 4ft. So build a tank 12ft x 3ft 6 w x 4ft deep. With a water outlet piped to a soakaway at 3ft high. Giving me 3ft of space below of silt etc.

What width and length should the whole wash area be, the slat will be in the middle and other concrete falling in 2/3 inch’s to the centre

Not everyone needs to know about pipe to soak away... Nice idea alright. Like to do it here if I could find a suitable location. Would 15'x15' be adequate? And lance on overhead swivel I presume.

The l200 jeep is 16ft from bumper to bumper.

I was thinking closer to 20/22 x 14/16ft

I’ll work the lance out after however the overhead swivel would be a great job in fairness. Have a karcher 550 single phase hot wash here and kills me giving others 10/15e to wash car & jeep

You couldn't work it in as part of your yard. Think about a jeep and trailer combined.

TITANIUM.

Did the drains here during the week. Used the slurry tanker to get rid of all the silt. Did the job nicely

I wouldn't be saying too much about that soakaway if you're using detergent....
