[QUOTE="G0lddigg@, post: 312439, member: 357"] hey mate there's a few issue with folding sluices that often isn't addressed. i purchased a keene folding sluice 5 years ago and found the gold was being sucked into and out of the fold right where the bend was. I'm yet to find a fold necessary I just use a short run and feed to suit. I run Dream mat in all my sluices and am the manufacturer so full disclosure i'm not trying to sell you something our dream mat has a particle travel of over 70 inches or two meters there about so its not about length any more as much as it is about efficiency. there's a few models around that are light weight if that what ur after just remember the more metal screws, riffles etc you have the more complex your sluice needs to be. with a few different small sluices with slick plate area maybe you can put one into the other if need be? a good low budget start would be using a found channel and adding vribb rubber and some mesh from a salvage yard. plenty of info in the diy section mate [/QUOTE]
