[QUOTE="Geo2, post: 176406, member: 4572"] Mate, I would advise you to seal that sluice since it is made of wood. When wood get soaked with water for extended periods of time, it gets wet and heavy, also after using it and leaving it to dry it contracts and expands many times, so a water sealing is preferred . Good design, that's the way to do it, inspection area at the top (v mat) then followed by Miners Moss and over top of it , your (strange) looking plastic mesh. Well , test it and see if it works, if not change one item at a time, so you know what caused what in terms of "Sluice elements" ;) As Wal has showed you can use bread crate material as a mesh or if have some better use expanded metal.
