primrose Posted May 24, 2018 Share Posted May 24, 2018 (edited) The layers will be something like this. The gravel layer is for drainage with pipes above the membrane, the pipes also have a membrane and the pipes will have holes in them so the water seeps through the membrane into the pipe, the gravel is too big so this only allows the water through into then pipe and away. The membrane below is to keep the gravel separated from the soil. Its a typical format for land drainage.
