What Pond Supplies Do I Need to Build a Pond Waterfall?
Do you want to build a pond waterfall, but aren't sure how to get started?
Pondliner.com has you covered. Our Reference Section features construction guides for creating a disappearing waterfall, and the process for building a pond waterfall is essentially the same. In fact, you have one less step since you already have the waterfall basin in place (hint: it's your pond).
Our Reference Section also has a number of calculators that can help you choose the pond supplies you'll need for this project.
To make things even easier, we've compiled a quick list of supplies you will need to gather before beginning to build your pond waterfall:
- Weir: Waterfall weirs are where a waterfall begins. The width determines the water flow your pump must provide.
- Pump: Direct drive pumps are powerful enough for large waterfalls. Magnetic drive pumps use less electricity and are suitable for smaller waterfalls.
- Tubing: Flexible tubing connects the waterfall pump to the weir.
- Lining: Pond liners prevent water from soaking into the ground or mixing with dirt.
- Stone: Flat rocks create the shelf for your waterfall to flow over. Pebbles cover and camouflage the liner. Boulders offer a dramatic look, and placing them in the waterway creates more sound.
There are a number of variables that affect which pond supplies your waterfall requires. Use the guides and calculators in our Reference Section to learn how to build a waterfall that looks amazing and performs flawlessly.
