Hi Shevy,

Could you not perhaps just cut the pipe off or even cut it to the shape it is at the bottom and then let the water come out the new hole. Or if the shower was to go across a corner or hang over the pond could you not put slots or holes along the bottom perhaps.

Hiya

I'd think you have 4 choices

1. Use the 4" pipe - unattractive
2. Cut the bottom tray and fabricate in a weir
3. Build a new bottom tray with a weir, this might mean cutting out the bottom of the existing bottom tray. (but retaining its strength and rigidity)
4. Ive seen the stainless weir attachments but not sure they come in 4" and if you restrict the outlet flow you will get a head in the bottom box
