How to Build a Water Feature - Backyard Waterfall | Done-In-A-Weekend Extreme

[@ad8881]

Just one weekend, one commentator and a bunch of skilled laborers.

[@RPAS1234]

Yes, these "reality TV shows" are reality in name only. The equivalent cost of raw materials and labour (skilled and semi-skilled) would be enough to convince you to simply visit your local botanical gardens for your "waterfall fix"

@@RPAS1234 if you have money it’s different these are million dollar homes

[@carlindurfee7566]

A smaller version could be done in a weekend for sure if you know what your doing

[@MichaelGlusko]

This is what comes up on KZbin after hours of research on a DIY build. So glad it came up last. Great video on what not to do! I'm waiting to see the salmon climb the concrete fish ladder on their final approach and entering the plastic bucket.

How hard would it be to make it more of an S shape, and to rotate the flat rocks a bit so it looks less like stairs and more like a natural stream or waterfall? Also, what can you do with the start and finish so it doesn't suddenly begin and end in the middle of the lawn?

[@gogreen1963]

So simple. I was afraid I'd need to run electric and buy a pump. Just need a shovel and some rock. Oh, and a hose to fill it up.

[@carlindurfee7566]

The liners and boxes is the most technical park and some companies use spray foam so you can make the water go where you want and if it doesn’t suit your liking you just cut it out and refoam it.

[@BallydowseRambler]

So does the pump auto power itself? I feel like the electrical step was skipped?

[@thephotonepoch9759]

Yes, the pumps require a direct power supply. Will have to run a cable to an outlet.

[@jaimienichols5649]

Nice

[@coreyl736]

I build these for hobby

[@arcelesp7878]

Can you build one for me as a hobby.

[@keithmorrison3520]

You didn't show how you got power for the pump.

[@tuckernance]

Speaking as an avid DIYer, this is NOT a weekend project.

[@carlindurfee7566]

Weekend project for a big crew like they hired but for one or two people definitely not. A super small version yes but not all this.

[@joevo1984]

Um, ok? Looks like stairs

[@bilalbehzad8506]

Good

[@arcelesp7878]

Needs to cover with trees beging of pond, to look more like a natural source.... ;)

[@dellapiarulli4551]

foo fighters

[@thomasbowman3344]

So its my understanding if you have fish or other wildlife the concrete is not recommended. Plus the concrete will ruin your liner if you have to make adjustments for some reason.

[@vanities7374]

No trees in any yards.

I came on KZbin. Watched this video, now what?

[@scottconcertman3423]

See problematic lawn during intro? When this home had been constructed, engineer first had every bit of soil excavated and hauled away. Now home owner expected to maintain a picturesque lawn over clay.

[@kevinn5546]

That looks terrible and so unnatural. Go check out the folks at Aquascape or Atlantis Water Gardens if you want see something that looks beautiful and natural.

This is not a great pond/ waterfall looks so not natural. What a flagstone walk way should look like . 😂

[@raphaeln3725]

My Lord this is beyond bad. First bad location, unatural looking, this is more like stairs. No concrete needed. Jesus I'm a diy'er and my pond looks so much better. lol
