A:  The grate in this part is not removable. The grate prevents debris from getting into and clogging your drain pipes. Here are a couple things you can do to prevent the clogging from occurring inside the channel. 1 - Place a row of gravel along both sides of the channel. The gravel will allow water to still drain into the grate, but will stop the pine needles. 2 - Remove the grates from the channel. Wrap them in replacement window screen. Place the grates back on the channel. The screen will prevent the needles from getting into the channel. A leaf blower can be used to remove the needles from the channel. Regular removal of pine needles will need to be done in all cases. Pine needles do a great job a clogging grates and reducing flow.
