DIY Water Fountain 

Oh my goodness, don’t pay any attention to anybody who’s negative. I think you did awesome job on the video. Don’t let them people bother you at all cause they ain’t going nowhere,you accomplish something. God bless.

People so mean so mean when they give thumbs down. I think it is good video as I learn something from you. 👍👍👍👍👍👍

Your laid back tutorial gave me confidence to try this. You’re a natural teacher please post more videos on DIY projects.

That trickle of water will sound so relaxing when you're chilling in your hide-a-way

Love this! Not only the water fountain but the whole back yard looks like paradise. Thanks you for this video

Folks he didn’t say it, but Don’t turn on the pump or plug in until everything is filled with water. You will ruin a pump in a hurry if that pump isn’t in the water at the proper depth. I might also recommend a filter arrangement to keep the leaves out etc. Did you fill the bottles with water. That should hold them down without rocks. You want lots of water or it will keep evaporating or the animals will drink out of the basin... I would wire that jar to a piece of SS pipe to hold it in place from storms, earthquakes, kids, dogs, etc. Believe me, they can fall over. I find it best to dig all top soil out and put sand in then twist the np basin in place. My first one the soil gives way, gets lumpy etc and before you know it it’s no longer sitting level. You set the jar close to one side, and pound the pipe into the outside soil about 18-20” down and leave the pipe about to the top of the decorative pot height and run copper wire round and round the lip and over to the pipe and secure well. I would make it a bit taller ..the pipe in the jar , just a but taller so it flows over. And it needs to be full of water. My concern is the dirt in the water will burn your pump out. You can also put a little head on it to spray which is pretty and a different type bubbler. Thanks for sharing.

The water bottles are a great way to take up the extra space! 👍

What a great yard! Great video! For me, I would bury a much bigger reservoir so I don't have to check the water level so often. On a hot day it could run out of water due to evaporation and burn your pump out. I use wire mesh on top of my reservoir (with a milk crate under as support for fountain to sit on)and put the rocks on top of the mesh. Use way less rock and lots more water to protect your pump. The size of the reservoir determines how often you must refill the water. LOVE your water bottle and leveling tips!

Just a suggestion: add a ring of stiff (like fibreglass) insect screen over the bottom section and another one just inside the rim of the pot. If it's secure enough you can add a few rocks on top of it, plus the fine mesh with help to stop debris and dirt getting in. Just a thought! I love this water feature though and your garden is spectacular!

THANK YOU. I really appreciate how you're telling us prices and where you picked things up. Much more helpful than other videos with similar content!

Great project, planning to use your idea however I am going to place a matching dinner plate at the top for a shallow birdbath that the butterflies and hummingbirds can use.

I watched alot of these diy bird bath/ fountains,and yours looks the most aesthetically pleasing

I just found this video 3 yrs later. It was fun to watch & follow the process. I like that it was a real experience with what could go wrong & how to fix whatever does. You made me want to try putting in a water fountain myself. I’m so glad I found this channel. You’re a real inspiration. Yes, indeed, you’re landscaping is awesome. Thank you so much. Also, I’m going to look for your other past videos 👏👏👏👏👏

Great video, thanks for sharing, the fountain is very nice!

Great pot selection. So lovely among the flowers. I'ma gonna do it too!

Loved the project! Love your garden 😍

Great project! I just have one suggestion; Initially rinse dirt from your rocks using the bag they’re in by running water through the bag after making several drain holes in the bag!

This is hands down one of the easiest assemblies I’ve seen. I was just gifted a beautiful vase and I’m definitely going to try this method In my new memorial garden. ❤️

I have made different versions of these fountains, one thing people forget is you now have to take it apart to clean the filter that's in the pump once in awhile. But you whole back yard looks amazing

Beautiful backyard! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I love your down to earth presentation.

Beautiful yard and great idea for a water fountain!

Ollie's and Tractor Supply, now your speaking my language😍

Just caught thus video 2 yrs late - but perfect timing! I LOVE this idea, allows you to be creative and/or use things you have on hand. Also, just picked up an antique child's chair like the blue one on your porch - in someone's trash!! It's burgundy, but I LOVE that you painted yours blue, and will be a copycat😂. Thks!!

Thanks so much for sharing your amazing fountain and beautifully lanscaped yard. I love ❤❤❤❤ the pot.

What an excellent way to enjoy the sounds of water. I love this! It’s also beautiful and pleasing to look at, much more so than mine. Next year I’ll use your ideal. Mine is made with a solar pump, a large decorative flower pot (no holes) and a cheap snack tray which I made several holes for water to drain back into the pot, topped it off with colored rocks. I love your backyard! Thanks for sharing, even though the video is 3 years old. Your son is sweet 🙋🏼‍♀️ hello

Great project. I ❤️ your garden. Absolutely beautiful. I'm looking to do something similar in the near future. I just picked up a solar floating lighted pump. I love it ao far. I have a simple 5 gallon bucket setup currently in my bird feeding area. Still undecided on what I want so I'm gathering ideas. Thanks for sharing👏🏾👌🏾😎👍🏾👍🏾🙏🏾🙌🏾🙏🏾

I absolutely love this video. It inspired me to go to goodwill to find a lamp base, of which I found a perfect one, take it apart and buy the remaining items needed for my fountain. I am following your instructions s and with your instructions, I know I will be successful, too. Thank you for sharing your talent. Joy. Pgh, PA

Nice garden.That was fun ,Thanks.

Thank you! Beautiful yard addition. Your backyard is awe inspiring 😮

Beautiful!!! Thank you for showing us how it's done! I have a blue vase from Ollie's...😆 Your garden is awesome!

NICE! Love the blue fountain with the orange flowers. Beautiful yard too!

I love your garden and pool area. Gorgeous!!!

Thank you for the display of your water fountain..your yard is SPECTACULAR

Very informative and easy to follow! Can’t wait to get one going in my garden!

I sooo love your yard so peaceful and beautiful ❤❤❤

Love your laid-back, informative style. And your yard is gorgeous.

Exactly what I was looking for . I have 3 matching pots I want to stack them having water flow over the smallest down to the largest, I also bought them at Ollie's last year and have did nothing with (think my humming birds would love to play in).I had no clue where to start so thank you for sharing this and putting in words that a slightly less intelligent person can understand, lol. Also your garden is just gorgeous, I love the colors,yellow is my favorite and there is a lot that just pops out .Happy to have found you You have a new subscriber "ME" .

Omg 😮 I love you back yard ☘️🌿🌱🍀🍃🎋🌷💐🌺🌹🌼🌻😍😍🥰🥰

I was getting impatient; after reading all the positive comments I decided to see your beautiful garden.

I like that you are easy to follow and just a normal family. So cute of your son oh and your dog. Love your garden as well. What a beautiful fountain.

Your back yard is gorgeous!!! That's exactly what I am looking for!! Thank you, thank you!! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

we all create joy in different fashion....thank you for sharing your videos with the world...sincerely thank you

Nice 👍 found⛲

Soak the new rocks for ten to twenty minutes then rinse. What’s on them is clay that will take some time to loosen up. Place the end of the hose at the bottom of the bucket and let it run, the water will overflow and clean itself. As far as the plastic water bottles go…pick up gravel from dollar tree to put in the bottles and keep them from floating. What a unique idea for a garden fountain. I just may have to try making one for my little garden space. Thank you for showing us how easy a project it really is. Time to go shopping….lol

You are a natural teacher. I totally enjoyed this video and can’t wait to see more. You make me feel like I too can have a beautiful yard.

Wow! Very nice!! I just made one a few days ago which is very similar to yours except I turned my big pot upside down and have the water come out the hole on the top so birds can land on it and get a drink or bathe.

lovely, well explained , video. you're delightful & helpful!

This is the best diy water fountain video I've seen. From start to finish with everything explained step by step. Thank you!

Beautiful back yard Thank you I will do one for my garden. It looks beautiful in between the flowers

Lucky for me that my local Ollie's is RIGHT NEXT DOOR to Tractor Supply! Thanks Ray!

Really good clear instructions - I made one myself, not quite the same, but following your method and I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Thank you!

Very nice productions. Now it works just fine! Now all You need is a Pond and some fishes!

I watched a different video and they soaked their terra-cotta pots before they drilled the holes, and it was much easier for them to drill

This is my DREAM yard 🥰
