How I Built My Backyard Water Fountain

  • 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.

    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

    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.

    • @wadesminutes

      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.

    A lot of people don’t realize that some woods require conditioning before stain. It makes the stain not turn out splotchy
