Add a water feed line connected to a toilet tank float so it'll refill the water as it evaporates! 👍
Nice make sure you have a float switch in the tank for low level cut off
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!
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.

Mr. Build It could we hear it please?
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.
Nice!👍 You should try using the wood torching technique for your fence too!
Im definitely making one of these for my dog!
We are working on a water feature now and this video gave me-us some ideas. Thanks for sharing and your end product looks awesome!
That is beautiful. You explained it very well.
Cool feature with nicely paced breakdown. Thanks!
Love the idea! I just completed ( mostly) building shou Sugi bon raised bed garden frames... I’m considering doing more with that technique. And a water feature is a consideration.
It’s like designing a fireplace and mantle. Very cool and can be designed for any style.
Great idea. I know a lot of people add water features to drown out unwanted noise too.
Great Idea - I would like to do this but with a small fish pond at the foot of the waterfall. And lights would be good as Ryall suggested.
Since there’s power to it an outdoor led strip to light it up would be nice

@@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.
Fantastic & easy parts to get ! THanks for showing us this cool water feature! A+👍
Would have been nice to hear the water feature once you had finished. Also, how did you connect power/electric source ?

You have to make a trench to your power source and run wiring through a buried pvc pipe
Thanks for the inspiration. I would consider extending the top horizontal beyond the verticals, e.g.. Pi symbol.
absolutely phenomenal - both the design as well as your video! thanks abundantly!

That looks beautiful 👍🏼very nice man
Thank you so much for this video created one myself the only difference is I didn't use drip regulators instead I used a ball valve. Great results!
thanks for the idea..i got to try this for my meditation...i can use safe immersion heater to deal with the cold
Very well done - you are the Man!
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.

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.

@@MrBuildit no thank you for all the projects, I'm actually a Project Manager in construction, so I totally understand all the stages involves, most people only see the BIG PICTURE, but as i say there is no picture with out details. So again THANK YOU.
This is great! I'm planning to add a water curtain along the front edge of my backyard deck. The posts/structure and electric outlet are already there. Just gotta dig a hole and install the plumbing. I put in a fire pit, cafe lights, and a rocket stove this summer. Water feature will be nice addition!
Love this
Beautiful piece of work... Surround landscaping important jmo

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 👍👍

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.

@@MrBuildit , exactly what I was going to say. Water will find its way into the concrete footings, and then it will have a difficult time getting out. I hope you will add this advice into the video and re-post it.
Great project!!!! Thanks !! about the pump what is the force or model that you installed ?
Would have loved to listen to how the water feature sounds
I did the same thing with a storage container before seeing this video!

I am in southern Arizona. At 108 degrees for a few months i am looking at using the container but putting a steel lid on. It will also help with the rock weight
Cool. Could you use 1/2" pictures tubing instead of 1"?
The project that I have planned would require a rain barrel, but they are way too expensive, so that storage bin would do nicely.
Beautiful, plant some bamboos behind the waterfall, it will add a more natural look.
Thumbnail is so true 😅
that was great. I built a fountain last year. but I saw a water curtain at a local hotel and want one for my front garden. so, great vid. can you give me an idea of total cost and time to do this. thanks.
I like it! Want to build one now. What's the deal with the spout on the far left?
Are you in a climate where winter storage is a consideration? I'm in Ontario Canada. I love what you did!
Subbed!
Good project, bed execution. As others have pointed out, should have used pressure treated wood that’s in contact with the concrete. And the catchment is far too small. Within a few years this will be in a landfill.
