[QUOTE="skyline, post: 614406, member: 5305"] Nova - I agree that the fabric will plug up if you cover the end with fabric. For that reason, I suggest penetrating the fabric (that lines the trench bottom, sides, and top) with the 2" pipes. Similarly, I don't like to wrap the perforated pipe with fabic, because of a concern that the holes in the pipe will plug up. I try to filter out the dirt before it gets into the gravel trench. I agree that you can use a non-porous material like clay over the trench instead of the concrete and that this method would provide easier access in the future. The key is to try to get the water over the top of the wall instead of letting it go down behind the wall. [/QUOTE]
