You gunna build a stand to raise it up a bit? youl be suprised how quickly the oversized stuff that comes off the bars builds up.
also a good idea to make each leg adjustable makes it easier to level instead of trying to find the right sized stone lol.

don't forget a garden tap outlet so you can connect a hose and wash the bedrock down.

i took the riffles out of mine as you will find that if you dont have enough water flow for the riffles you will end up losing gold
