It is a 4" pirf pipe wrapped with what looks like 6" packaging
Peanuts makes it look about 12" in diameter. It takes the place of stone. I've only seen it in adds.

Works great, compared to lugging a lot of gravel around, wif a shovel. Very cost effective, when you factor that in. Just don't leave any unused stuff around your yard, the sock is not UV resistant, and as soon as it splits, you gots them styrofoam bits EVERYWHERE...;)

I do some digging for a septic guy who uses it all the time. Like said kinda pricey but once you figure in moving the rock twice its a wash.
