The weed barriers I have seen tend to have a very tight mesh, this traps the dust and debris and creates a nice location for weeds to grow, I believe that simple screening (aka large holes) would keep the stones from sinking, and will allow for lots of water to drain, with little to no effect on the number of weeds.
