I noticed there are a lot of threads about waterfalls for ponds, so I thought I would start a post showing some of the different types.
My first waterfall is a rock I built from concrete. I used plaster lathe for the backbone, and then covered it with cocrete mixed with a glue and fiber. I then threded my hoses up into it.
My second waterfall is my upper pond style. I used an 8' diameter sattelite dish as a base, covered it with a liner, and then put concrete around the edges. I tipped the dish forward slightly so that it would spill over into my lower pond. The spraybar I have is a Cedar 6x8. I routed out a trough in the center to create a more even waterflow.
My third waterfall is just a solid piece of granite. I bored a hole in one end for my tubes, cute a trough in the center, and that was about it.
If you have any questions about how I made these, feel free to ask. Also, feel free to submit your own designs here, and how you made them.
