-you want to bring the liner up to the boulders the less gaps there are the less build up of waste that's possible. But you can always backfill with river rock too. So after you place the fabric liner fabric place your stone then back fill up to the rock within the falls with gravel / river rock. . While you want as few gaps as po ssible you never want to stretch the rubber even though it stretches very well you want to avoid that. And leave a wrinkle for settling.
Ah, got it, I think
But Just to be absolutely clear, "bring the liner up to the boulder" from inside the stream area? On the outside area of the stream I'll be creating that berm fold with liner, then pack up against that.
Still no luck finding an appropriate culvert pipe. Was searching around for alternatives, and saw someone using a rain barrel. Something like this.
Wouldn't this be the same as a garbage can - built for strength from the inside out, not outside in?
These are slightly more ruggage but yes same riniple and start cutting it and all bets are off

Dang it! Just when I thought I was on to something. The video I saw was some guy in Australia I think. He had a lot of water features going on, showing his various DIY's. His basin was using culvert pipes as the matrix system, they were then going into the bottom of what he called "olive barrels". Looks the same as rain barrels to me, maybe not though. Seemed to be working for him, and they allegedly had been working for years with no issues. Check them out at 3:35 sec into the video.
