What happens here

To complete the water feature, a liner (such as pond liner or geotextile fabric) is laid around the perimeter of the repurposed tire basin, which houses the float valve. This liner is then covered with a layer of gravel and small rocks, which helps to secure the liner, provide drainage, and create a finished aesthetic around the automatic waterer.

Goal: A liner is placed around the main water feature (a large tire) and then covered with gravel to stabilize and finish the basin area, preparing it for water.
