How I Built My Backyard Water Fountain
Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- This video is an overview of the process I used to design and build my outdoor backyard DIY water fountain. This water feature was not the easiest thing to build but it was doable and has been running for almost a couple years now.
The glass backdrop is an optional personal preference, I used this type of glass instead of plastic based glass because when researching I found that they may start turning yellow and get damaged from being in the sun. It also helps to make the glow effect from the leds at night a bit more vibrant. The glass used in this project was found on facebook marketplace a local company was trying to make space and sold me the glass for cheap.

WOW! Awesome job!
Your voice is very soothing! Also love the instructions you were very clear and concise . Hope to try this someday
Thanks for the kind words @tremayne !
I totally agree!!👏🏾 Excellent instruction!!👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
That turned out beautiful ❤
Thanks Wayde for posting your work. We wanted a water feature that would buffer sounds and your idea got our brain cells into gear. Appreciate you and your family's help. With gratitude, Chris from San Francisco
Comments like this make it worth it. Appreciate it. I'm sure it will come out great. Just plan it and do it.
👍The finished product is badass. Love the lighting.
I loved your son rolling around sped up. Adorable!
Man!!! You did a great job. This is one of the first videos I got to watch all the way till the end.
Hi, Wade , I was looking for some easy and cost effective ideas for my garden area.... especially since we wanted to create a space with tranquility & harmony in mind.... your beautiful video popped up, precisely now! .... I love the way you explained everything and your dedication to your art.... thanks 🌹 sending blessings 🙌 from sunny South Africa 🇿🇦
Awesome job looks great . Love the final look with the planters
WELL DONE DESIGN AND BUILD.
Enjoyed your Glass Waterfall! 😉Beautiful😁 Sounds of water very relaxing! Myself planning on making water features from Broken Flat Screen TV's...Insides removed. Frame intacted + Screen, can Decorate, add Rocks etc... Lighting, as desired. 🙃 Nothing Ventured , Nothing Gained! Frame prebuilt !!🥴 Half my idea solved.😂 LoL, Tina, SE.Georgia✌️
Thanks for watching Tina, I'm glad if the video helped you in any way. Your project sounds like an interesting concept, I wish u the best.
I love it! I might build this but without the glass coz I love to se the water flows naturally. It looks great! thanks for the inspiration.
Thanks, yes it would work well without the glass its just more helpful in windy conditions to prevent water loss.
Amazing job. You are a keeper. Happy wife Happy life. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from far away.🎉
Beautiful work!
Thank you so much 😀
This is a great fountain. You have a clear and soft voice on how to do each step. Great job!!!!!!
That is an awesome work you done! 👍
Thank you so much for your voice over! It's incredibly helpful to hear the creators, in their own voices + words, describe their effort. ❤ Fabulous.
Beautiful.. and very relaxing
Love your work and use of reclaimed materials!
Very nicely done and explained.😊
Thanks a lot 😊
Thanks for sharing want to build something like this in my basement.
Wow the total end result totally transformed your yard. Great job!
Awesome job
Great job, and it looks wonderful
Dang that came out really nice at the end!!!!!!!
Well done! You’ve inspired me to attempt this project.
A lot of people don’t realize that some woods require conditioning before stain. It makes the stain not turn out splotchy
Exactly, I did learn the hard way but glad I eventually had the time to go back and do it correctly.
@@wadesminutes how ya learn isn’t Important, that you learn is.
Great job🎉
❤❤❤❤ love the content
Какая красота!!! Ещё и иллюминация есть! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Наташка привет
Oneof the amazing diy i have seen and well explained
💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾 Fello Builder Fabricator Life 💙... I built a narrower one like yours. You definitely gave me an idea of building a planter box or bench beside mine..
That’s pretty cool thank you for sharing. Great job 👍
Excellent job a lot of work went into this
It’s beautiful! I love it! You’re a very creative & talented young man. Need all of that in my backyard! 😍😍😍
Beautiful outcome!

I love it, great example of what to do with my Yard
Nice, VERY nice. I like the lighting. Sets a magical feeling.
Amazing transformation
Beautiful
Love this, so beautiful!😊
I really like your work and watch all 19 minutes without skip any.
I like the way you pointed out some mistakes you did and it is very help to whoever want to do waterfall like your. Question, is it more safety to use tempered glass?
You should use solar panel to avoid trench for wire and solar is cheaper.
Last, I liked and subscribed. I am going to watch more of your UA-cam. Keep it coming brother.
It may not be as safe to use the tempered glass but I used it because when I was researching it seems like the plastic based glass eventually starts turning yellow from being outside in the sun and being in constant contact with the water. The glass is also really optional. I do like the solar idea but since I want to use it at night as well it would also need battery power. Thanks for subscribing I really appreciate it. I will be working on the planter video next.
Absolutely beautiful! The sound of it is so relaxing too.
Love this I watch at least 20 times Gonna build one like yours only difference is I want it to be like a pond with fish. So I’m going to raise it off the ground.
Glad it inspired you. I know it will come out great.
Excellent job!
So cool bro thank you for sharing

Great job I wish I can do this 😊😊😊😊😊
Beautiful!!! Also your yard- how did you get it so green?
Nice I like it
really cool! Love it! hows it doing now? :)
Thanks, I had to sand down and reapply some wood stain and sealer to continue protection from the elements and make it look fresh again but the build itself is still good and sturdy for both the planters and the fountain.
Great job well done. May I ask what stain is use?
I believe this was varathane gunstock.
Wow!!!
Can you tell me again what type of lights you’re using now?
You can try American Lighting or Govee indoor/outdoor led rope lights.
Thanks for the video, Can you tell how much horsepower of the pump?
The pump details are in the description
❤❤
You could have drilled holes in the pvc and turned the pipe to point the holes towards the glass.
I agree definitely an option that someone could use, I used the corrugated sheet in my case because I was hoping to achieve a different smoother type of water flow in the center.
Was that rock a speaker
Yes it was, Klipsch AWR-650-SM Indoor/Outdoor Speaker - Granite I bought mine from Amazon and they have been great so far. I could do a video on those as well. I have had them for a while now and they are great.
@@wadesminutes cool great video
It made sense on 2022
Отлично. 👍
Надо было стекло чуть наклонить. Тогда двор не отражался бы в нем, а только небо. Плюс к этому стена позади стала бы менее заметна.
How can you take care the water from algae?
There is no sunlight getting into the water storage bin so I believe that's part of the reason I have never had algae issues so far, I also occasionally add a little chlorine to the water.
Where did you get the glass?
Local glass company scrap item.
🍷👌🏾❤️🔥🔥🔥
Очень интересно . только на ... ?
Looks like outdoors toilet
I'm not sure how it looks like one. Please show a link of the outdoor toilets you have to use in your village so that we can understand.
@@wadesminutes urinals are everywhere
@@wadesminutes😂😂😂
COOL////
Это конечно красиво, но вот вопрос: от сырости потом грибок не образуется? Ведь при влажности, все может быть
As long as you use wood that is durable and you treat it to resist water and insects you should be ok. The fountain is still running in 2024 with minor water damage to one of the less resilient side boards but the main structural pieces are the same as day one.
@@wadesminutes thank you very much for your detailed answer. 😊👍
I'm blown away 🤗, He did an amazing job 👏
