I guess this is more of a tip than a D.I.Y, which could be an Idea for a new thread section, "Tips and tricks"
Anyway back to the subject.
My wife and I both love the affect of an air curtain, but they pose problems like floating if not weighed down, gravel covering then and losing the affect, or blocking up.
I think I have come up with a solution to at least the 1st 2 probs. My gravel is about 2inch deep, so I got a length of PVC piping this diameter, and cut a slot in it just smaller than the gravel, you can't really see it from the front, but here is a closeup, not proven yet, but I can't see why it won't work, if the slot starts to get covered after a period of time, its only a matter of running something along it to clear it.
