I read all the reviews and this cloth was amazing i tested it before we put it in the ground and water flowed quickly thru the fabric. i wrapped the entire french drain with it and had enough to fold over on top.. it is working and i am completely pleased, for once i found something that was as good as it said it was!!!! kudos!!!!! company wanted 3,000$ to put french drain in 50 feet, i did myself with this fabric and total cost pipe and cloth and stone 200$$$
