      Q:What size stones? I assume I should use stones like River Jacks. How large should the stones be? 1"-3"?

      Answer This Question

      A:  We used a bag of river rocks to fill each one, heavier flow used the heavier rocks but had no issues using regular river rock.

        A:  There is no specific size rock needed. The rock just needs to be large enough so it does not wash away.

                Even though we have an underground gutter systems, when it rains quick and hard they tend to overflow at the base. We liked the InvisaFlow Channel Guard because they are wide and can help catch the overflow rain and divert it away from the foundation. We made a cut (not all the way through) on the end just to fold up behind the gutter. And then we made a cut the circumference of the pipe to form nicely around the pipe and sealed it with silicone. We used an Xacto knife to cut through it. This does an excellent job of catching any overflow when needed. You can be a little creative on how you use it. It would also work great if you let your gutter just drain into it as well.

                    Easy & inexpensive solution
                    Problem: ugly downspouts. Very simple to install & blends into the landscaping very nicely. Very cost effective & simple to put together if you need a longer run.

                      I bought 5 of these to use as splash blocks. The blue ones that came with the house were gross so I saw these and a light bulb went on. I just laid it in place and filled it with river pebbles. It works great and the rocks are far more attractive than those blue ones and I imagine less expensive.

                      Expect modifications
                      I agree with the reviewers who stated the product needs modifications. I followed the instructions from one of the reviews, plus one additional step.....since the bottom of the channel has to be flush with ground level, I splayed the sides a bit and secured them with edging stakes; otherwise, I felt the sides stuck up too high. It also helped to make the end wider, which looks nice. I think a similar result could be achieved with landscape edging and sheet plastic, which I plan to try in the front, where I prefer more organic curves. When installed correctly, they do funnel water from the house. Also, the price is right, which makes up for the few minutes spent making alterations.

                        We were tired of losing our mulch everytime it rained. I saw these on Pinterest and was excited that Home Depot carried them! What a difference and I like the mini dry creekbed look.

                        These look and work great. The one reviewer who bolts them together was a big help especially for longer runs. Great option from the deeper trench drains with grate on top. These are nice and thick also. I made it so the gravel was a little shallow in the center so when there's a heavy storm the water moves quicker. Before I did that it would over flow but only during really heavy rain.
