BUILDING A WATERFALL

[@raebillingandcrybaby1523]

This is a guy who knows how to make a video. Not too much camera movement, bringing tools to the camera lens, etc. plus lots of great info.

[@creativecascades1328]

Ah thanks, I just did it instinctively, I guess a music producer background sorta gave me a sense of how the mind works from an audience perspective. My sons are doing our newer vids and learning as they go. Thanks again Richard

[@moonmagnolia7]

Very nice. I love how you incorporated plants into the different levels to make it look more natural and how thorough you are.

[@homebuddha]

I’m not at all fussed by your product choices, I think you did a wonderful job, the flow has perfect volume and speed, it doesn’t look man made it looks natural you should be proud of your efforts and hard work! I love it

[@MrJmhess77]

Great build and Solid audio selections

[@creativecascades1328]

Cheers I make all of our music

[@JC-AussieDocos]

This is the best one I have seen, it looks entirely natural!! WELL DONE 👍

[@creativecascades1328]

Thanks JC, that was from a while ago, newer upcoming project vids will be uploaded soon. Something prospective clients often struggle to understand is that while anyone can pile rocks-up, it's few who have the eye to mimic nature

I can't believe I just found this channel. I've been wanting to build a wildlife pond and stream for a few years and I've been collecting materials and info over the past couple years. This is exactly what I had in mind for my build, except I want a pond. I just broke ground today! going to look at your other videos for more inspiration.

[@creativecascades1328]

Thankyou very much, hope out channel is useful!

[@danisusena6396]

I am sorry not speak English

[@addictiveaussie]

Friction loss is a huge and underestimated factor when designing for maximum water volume. I always fabricate my bends in rigid PVC pipe when I wish to optimise water flow/volume. Whether that be 50mm or 100mm diameter pipe I never use a 90 degree elbow and I use a plastic welder and welding rod to join the pipe after removal of the segments thus I can create the radius I require.

[@creativecascades1328]

These days we avoid right angles wherever possible in favour of gradual sweeps or at worst, a 45 degree elbow.

[@jester60ify]

I think that you do a very methodic job and all the details are very well calculated. I can say that not many do so skilled works.

[@surgeinc1]

It is so difficult to find a decent guide on making your own waterfall. This video is fantastic! Thank you for sharing this

[@creativecascades1328]

Ah thanks Steve, the most difficult thing is finding the time to film my builds, we will add a new vid in about a weeks time

[@kcender3771]

Excellent quality video all around with sound, etc. I liked how you mentioned some of the small things like bends in outlet hoses and vacuuming out initial debris/dirt. I watch a lot of these videos in preparation for my build and I wish the pump size was included in their info; it is a mystery and would be so helpful. Thank you, I have subbed.

[@jester60ify]

Shouldnt the plants be planted inside their plastic basket to prevent rexpansion either of their root system or even the plants themselves preventin them from dommain ing the structure?

[@creativecascades1328]

Thanks for all your comments and compliments. We tend to plant direct into gravel so the plants hoover up as many nutrients out of the water as possible. We look to use only non invasive easy to manage plants. You can however plant in baskets if you want, especially if the habitat is maximized for biological filtration regardless of planting

[@strengthbydesign]

I like that, “the day in the life of a pond builder” I can see it’s a hard day with all those rocks! I couldn’t get down there to pick them up with my hip.

[@creativecascades1328]

Thanks. It was filmed over about 8 days, these things take way longer to build than people realise unless thrown-together and/or with a team workforce.

You just did a miracle of the stuff in there, I recon, mate. Keep up the good work. Thanks for showing to us.

[@kevinlorenzo3538]

Great job (waterfall and video). I will certainly be watching some more of your videos. I have 3 questions. Which spillway did you use? I couldn't find a small spillway where the hose enters under the spillway and ended up using a Pontec Pondofall. Also, which rock yard did you use? It looks a great place for rock supplies. And finally, what would you recommend as a high quality filter media (like the one you used in the video)?. Thanks.

[@freshimpactco.8698]

Not a bad job, it takes time to grow and the more time you spend doing something the better you will become.

[@noyezz3690]

What capacity was the pump you used? It’s hard to know what lph equates to from a flow perspective

[@creativecascades1328]

OK in UK litres per hour, around 12,000 is fine for this size of water feature, although I used a pump with variable flow and adjusted to taste / season.

[@garyclark2296]

Well done! I will be starting my own small waterfall very soon.- Foam- when I saw the first mention of Foam- I imagined the spray-able, expandable type in an aerosol can. Do you ever you ever use that type of foam- or only the hard pressed as in the video?

[@creativecascades1328]

Yes we use aerosol tinned foam, nothing else

[@marionmoody9102]

Hello I spend a lot of time in the garden due to my m.s it’s my sanctuary . I would love a small waterfall and stream in it. It’s only a small garden but it’s so important to me and the wild life.I Just don’t know where to begin. I live in the Northeast Sunderland. I was wondering if you know anyone who you’d recommend in this part of the u.k to build one as good as quality as your own..with few problems as possible 👍

You can consider an outdoor water resistant socket! We have a permanent electrical supply fed to the area where we build these things such that we can then plug-in water ever devices required such as pumps and lighting. How is yours looking now?

1 mm, and laid over underlay and sand

[@GotoHere]

Do you put the main water falls flat rocks level or at a slight downward angle?

[@creativecascades1328]

Usually flat or angled back away from the direction of flow. If you angle them down you get too fast a flow which clients tend not to want as it's too 'hectic' lol

[@asmafiver6422]

My backyard is concrete and have to leave it unbroken. Can a waterfall be built on top of concrete floor?

It can Asma, you need to build it into some sort of raise soil pit. Keep it a low rise shallow stream would be easier in that set-up
