Nice!👍 You should try using the wood torching technique for your fence too!

@ZorinInc 5 жыл бұрын

Add a water feed line connected to a toilet tank float so it'll refill the water as it evaporates! 👍

@jeffhenderson934 2 жыл бұрын

Awesome! That’s a week long project for me. Then my OCD will kick in, and I’ll tear it down and get it right the second time. But you did make it look easy. EXACTLY what I was looking to build. Thank you!

Love the burnt wood finish. 2 things no overflow for when it rains and the silicon can be applied to the drips before plug them into the pvc pipe. Few water loving plant arround it, and a night light, it will look stellar!!

I agree with fur about a liner, and adding weed fabric on top of the water collector to keep any debris out. Other than that it's a nice and easy way to add some curb appeal. Good job.

Enjoyed your video. Considering water feature in our garden. For me a big part of the selection will be the actual sound of the water feature as that varies a lot with different water feature designs. As such a short section of video where we could hear what the completed water feature sounds like without any other audio would have helped. This seems to be something most water feature videos overlook. Thanks again for the video and ideas.

Cool water feature but you'll constantly be adding water to the basin with this design due to wind and splashing water on the rocks. Ive built several style "pondless" water features like this and have always had to return to using pond liner extending farther past the catch basin to catch all the water. I really like how you scorched the cedar.

@andred8037 3 жыл бұрын

We built one about twice this size and its been a nightmare. Used pond liner for the basin. Everything works fine until its ran long enough to splash water outside of the basin and it flows under the liner. Then the hole fills up with water, raising the pond liner, and removing water from the basin.... took it all apart and lined the basin with thick stone tile. After a while it did the same exact thing. There's no way this guy isn't having issues. I'd like to see what his looks like today.

I wonder what that would look like with LED strip lighting by the nozzles where the water comes out. Gives the illusion that the water is coloured. I like it. It’s so simple yet affected 👍👍

@sambrusco672 Жыл бұрын

Oooo! Daddy like! Of course you would use a WATERPROOF LED light strip, because it is outdoors and right next to water. Waterproof LED strips are a little harder to work with, but you would eventually put them in anyway. I wonder how ultraviolet light would look.
