I just about never comment on videos, but I had to login to say WOW! I'm a big fan of your falls--I appreciate that they are wide and shallower, with smaller 'steps'. They look amazingly natural, and that is the highest accomplishment in my opinion. I've bookmarked your video as a reference for my own build. Thanks for sharing!
This looks fantastsic...my pond is going on 14 months all DIY so can understand your excitment/relief at getting the waterfall flowing..... keep up the good work..its keeping me inspired..
thanks for sharing all the struggles. It motivates me to try and gives real expectations on trying trying trying and then success. I appreciate you showing alternatives to massive amounts of cash to have others accomplish my dreams. I don't have the kind of cash to spend on a professional install, but I have the ability to work hard and spend what I do have to make my dream of a swim pond a reality.
nice! I like the ripples off the top right rock before it breaks over the edge. I'm starting a large pond project, fingers crossed I can have water flowing soon! Sounds like you are guessing that is about 6k gal/h?
Yes. It's an 8500 gph pump, and I believe it was flowing around 6k at the time of shooting this video. I'll do another video going over how I calculated all that once I can catch my breath.
Looks great, very nice project. I have a question with the sand bottom that you put in, how clean do you thing that will remain and will it need cleaning. Thinking doing something like this for a natural swim pool
Don't know for sure, but time will tell. I have some jets that should keep debris from settling and push junk towards the negative edge. I also think I'll prefer it to gravel as there are no crevices for debris to get trapped in. If crud makes it to the bottom, it rests on top of the sand and can be netted out.
They came from a local rock yard that has it's own quarry. When I started buying them early last year, they were $65/ton and $80/ton when I got my last load about a month ago. Believe I have about 30 ton in this project.
Agreed. That's where I have a buried bulkhead through the liner to hide the pipe feeding the bog. I was too afraid to stick a big boulder there in case I ever need to service or replace that fitting. I think those rocks will mostly disappear once I plant the bog and the vegetation grows in.
You might be opposed to adding any unnatural products to the exposed rock but I've made several rock walls that I then coated with a water seal that would give the rocks a year round wet look To the dry rocks and would only need to be touched up every 5 years or so. Just an idea.

Looks great! Where did you source the boulders? Were they expensive?
They came from a local rock yard that has it's own quarry. When I started buying them early last year, they were $65/ton and $80/ton when I got my last load about a month ago. Believe I have about 30 ton in this project.
What a nice sound! What size pump are you running?
Nevermind! I just heard the answer!
why did you stack rocks on rocks behind the waterfall? that's the only point that doesn't look natural
Agreed. That's where I have a buried bulkhead through the liner to hide the pipe feeding the bog. I was too afraid to stick a big boulder there in case I ever need to service or replace that fitting. I think those rocks will mostly disappear once I plant the bog and the vegetation grows in.
@@TylerTervooren it would probably dissapear after time when you add some planting
