"Yeah I was taught that from day one. If there's a place to store it ,then I would without hesitation. What's gonna replace the turf??"
"The herringbone pattern is more complicated and slower to install than a grid pattern and the grid is much quicker and easier to install and you can easily fit silt traps to it. And it's also cheaper."
