Does it just sit in the sand Brad or on a rock in the sand? If so how does it attach then?

I'm probably going to start adding a few cups of well rinsed sand every now and then to give me maybe a 1/2" overall depth.
I liked the bare look better than I thought I would. Very easy to keep clean.

Yes, I like the ease of cleaning when bare. Usually detritus collects in one place.

More than likely you will have bare spots anyway but IMO you would still have the "natural" look

That was my original plan this time. I was going eggcrate, place the rock, then cut the 'crate thats left sticking out, then sand.
