Would have been nice to hear the water feature once you had finished. Also, how did you connect power/electric source ?

@jainiebehling 2 года назад

I am curious about the power source as well.

@jeffreybarnett1175 2 года назад

You have to make a trench to your power source and run wiring through a buried pvc pipe

Better have a GFCI outlet for the day when you sell the property

@ZorinInc 5 лет назад

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

@NightSky777 Месяц назад

Sounds good, do you have a Link showing how to do it?

@redwood1957 5 лет назад

Nice make sure you have a float switch in the tank for low level cut off

@DrJLad 4 года назад

How did you get power to the pump? Looks like a cord running out the back, did you just run it to an outlet on the house?

@WulfricTheBlack 5 лет назад

Since there’s power to it an outdoor led strip to light it up would be nice

@redjohn3662 3 года назад

Nice project..but which part is japanese??

@WulfricTheBlack 3 года назад

@@redjohn3662 the wood preserving method of shou sugi ban, charring it with fire is a old Japanese method. Also I’m guessing the arch is his interpretation of a Japanese arch.

@furgulley8077 5 лет назад

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.

@noahsecrist2948 5 лет назад

The Sandwich Method... I like it.

@nvmyvl 5 лет назад

easy fix would be an auto-filler.. easy as to install, and cheap..

@carlturner9223 4 года назад

As above, mine Is so much smaller but with wind ext/water refill needs to be thought about

@andred8037 3 года назад

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.

@MrFredcat3 3 года назад

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.

Ha! You can see the first joint he makes begin sliding back out after he sets it down because he didn’t hold it for a few seconds.

@alm958 5 лет назад

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.

@MrBuildit 5 лет назад

It sounds like a typical rain fall. Nothing too loud.

@NightSky777 Месяц назад

I plan on doing something like That. Thought about metal plated face that would rust over time. I wished you would've shown a bit more detail on your non-screwed "access panels". I think adding pond liner around the Periphery sloping towards the catch basin would help retain water from splashes

@jonsutubechannel 4 года назад

Maybe add some LED lights for nighttime

@PatrickShubin Год назад

I'm guessing you already had power out there. The cost of running 120v would be more than the water feature. Even direct burial wire has to be burried at 18 inches.

@jimji2774 2 месяца назад

Yes very nice video. however I don't think that buildl is going to last long. putting untreated 2 by 4 in wet concrete and then all that water near all the rest of that wood it's going to rot it out linseed oil or not. Still using that storage container with the lid was pretty creative

@sambrusco672 Год назад

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.
