Build your own backyard waterfall

 

I wanted more then one 'fall' for the waterfalls so I needed to build another step into the face of the waterfall. To do this I placed a couple of styrofoam coolers on each side, leaving a nice triangular opening in the middle of the waterfall and coincidently it wraps around a live palmetto I had left in place. Now I can have live greenery in the waterfall...nice. I used more masonite bits and plywood and stakes to form up the middle of the waterfall and mixed up 8 bags of concrete mix and poured it in with my trusty bucket.

a view from the right side of the falls under construction, along this side will be the plumbing, hopefully it will sit oput of the line of sight.

By now this little project had been a minor construction site in the back yard for many weeks and we were glad it was finally starting at least look like a waterfall.
