I’m not doing as wide of an arch would I be able to use two pipes? Or would I need shorter pieces for the curve. You just saved me from buying 1/2 pipes 🤣
@y2kok 21 күн бұрын
Yeah, those half inch don't do much. If you only use two it might not be flexible enough to work. Give it a shot though.

Just completed this over the weekend. 12 - 10ft 3/4" PVC 4 - 10ft 1/2" rebar (only size at my home depot) 8 - 100ct LED light Southern Indiana and paid roughly $35 per arch for the above materials.

I’m in MI. I’m curious with our winters if I’m able to use 1/2in x 10ft rebar and polyethylene pipe instead of pvc pipes. I have no idea about any of this stuff though lol. I can prob even add polyethylene clamps on the bottom of each rebar/polyethylene.

You omitted to show how to install the pump. And it would have been nice to know the model or part number of the pump as well
@y2kok 17 күн бұрын
The pump is just sitting in the bottom of the bucket, and the string in the top is what is holding the pump in the middle. I think there is a better way to do it, but that is what I chose to do.

I followed this video and it worked out great! Even in 2024 I still managed to do it cheaper than planned. A few things If you’re spray painting the PVC do NOT get spray paint IN the pipe or on the ends of it. Like literally tape off the ends. My helper painted them and it ended up adding an extra 2-3 hours onto this project, plus the frustration with dealing with the extreme friction and then sanding it out. Second, those two rebar pieces are TIGHT. Definitely a good thing in our windy area, but he definitely downplayed the difficulty it took to get those pipes on there.
@y2kok 3 ай бұрын
Glad to hear that it worked for you. Great tip on the spray paint! Just make sure that your ends of the rebar are straight. If they aren't, it will be very hard to get them in the pvc.

@jerohngorman1738 4 ай бұрын
This idea worked except after 2 days the fountain began to sink because the foam does end up holding water. I just needed up putting a partially aired up floaty to keep it above the water where it needs to be.

@sheronda2140 5 ай бұрын
I will definitely try this and do 3 arches and build one per month starting in September to see how they hold up with the wind with solar lights. Also, Home Depot will cut the rebar if you don't have the tools and they probably will drill a hole in the PVC for the screws if you ask. Thanks for the video!!

Honestly, I did not mess with lighting as there would be another electrical connection to worry about. I have seen people use solar lights as an option, but I don't know how well or long those would work for. Best of luck and be safe.

This is an awesome video - I am planning on using almost exactly your design for my pond. That said, there are so many details that would be useful! Where did you find a 40 gallon bucket? I'm seeing them for $100, which blows the budget open with a $125 sump pump. Not complaining, just wondering how you managed to find those materials at wholesale-ish cost. Any info on materials (other than sump / great stuff / bucket which are easy) would be very helpful!
@y2kok 8 ай бұрын
Thanks for watching. There are a couple of places that sell the 40 gallon buckets used around me. There is probably some retired guy near you that is selling burn barrels, and I bet they sell these as well. Look on Craigslist or FB marketplace for burn barrels, and see if they also sell these. Great stuff is going to cost what it costs. HD or Lowes is your best bet. On another note, if you don't have a sump pump already then check out the "submersible pond water pumps" or "waterfall pumps" on Amazon. That is the type that professionals use. just make sure the GPH is high enough and the dimensions of the pump will fit in the bucket. If I were to build another then I would use one of these. Good luck and stay safe. Electricity and water don't mix.
