Also i used some 3x2" wood and everything i could find for building the skeleton.

You had me with "drinking beer and looking at it"! I do this all the time and it's a critical step when creating anything, especially in the garden.
I think I'll order some beer to as I'm spending lockdown building a waterfall pond...Is it ok if I buy Corona beer? 😂😂
🌴☘🌱🌴🍻🍺🍻🍺
I really enjoyed this and you have given me solutions to a lot of stumbling blocks. Thank you
very good, i am going to build a pond in a few years once the children are bigger, i think im going to go for something like this, initially lightweight construction that should hopefully last, looks very effective.
Great work! You have helped inspire me to do one! I’ve now started
Really sir ......your told every thing .....exactly how u felt at that time ........u r a man ...simple ...and.....excellent
Thats realy awesome!! I have customized a background of my own 200cm tall terrarium. But when i have a home with a garden im certainly going to build something like this. Its absolutely astonishing. Great job dude
That is absolutely wonderful! I'm motivated.... to convince my husband that we need this in our backyard!
Don't forget to get him a truckload of beer and he'll get after it...
Love your humor…..and absolutely beautiful waterfall…. You gave me inspiration for the backyard this spring. Thank you !!
'Tropical Paradise'... What a word! Wonderful! Congrats!
It’s amazing what a little beer, time to think, concrete, water, blood, & a lot of hard work, can create! Great Job! THANK YOU for sharing your precious time, thoughts, & ideas with us! 😊
Great work just the answer I was looking for,. I aim to build a waterfall as part of a water purification system to aerate the water and this idea is just what I need. Thanks for showing us what you did.
Turned out fantastic! Thank you for capturing this build. It inspired me for sure!
Have you built it yet?
dude, you did a fantastic job. i am so proud of your determined effort. i really like what you did and will try and do this in my yard. you are very excellent in your stick withitness. bravo!
Thank you !
He didnt do shit i only see 2 hispanics working ...and the dude talking has a mean accent lol
@@9knine501 you are a complete jerk
Really love your waterfall and video. Got lots of chuckles,especially with the beer and blood. Gonna try my hand at this and an arch this summer,but with the addition of some Margaritas. Cheers and thanks!🍹
Very nice....was looking for a D.I.Y. way to create a waterfall...thanks for all the good information!
You are brave and patient!!! Bravo mister! 👏 Very nice end product!
Thank you for your video was quite informative. I Wii give this a try in the summer time. I love your rockery and waterfall
Well done . I need this video to get me going . I been picturing mine now in a spot in the yard for a long time. It so hot here and this idea would be what I been thinking about to keep yard cool. Las Vegas
Looks great! for anyone trying to do this, a helpful; tip is to apply an elastomeric membrane to the entire structure after the cement/fabric step. then your cement on top will be able to remain pours without the worry of a sealer failure.
I'm in the process of making rock looking letters. And after watching your video it is a total motivator in that I now know what I need to do thank you very much for a well-done video thank you.
Great job, thank you for sharing!
Vert nice ! very creative! Great job! Thank you for sharing this video with us!
I was asked to repair/rebuild an artificial rock waterfall for a client, and I followed these exact steps. I did frame my original design with 2x4s and 2x6s, and used a heavier 2x4 wire (2 layers) as it's on the edge of a pool and I know people will be jumping from it.
Just wanted to say thanks for the lesson!
What a beautiful garden project!
Sir, that is one fantastic waterfall and Little Paradise you have built there. Congratulations
What a brave man you are to tackle this project, you made a fabulous job, congratulations! You inspired me to make my own boulders as they are far too expensive and impossible for me to move on my own. Thank you so much.
Thank you, apreciate you liked it! 😁
This is awesome!!! Absolutely awesome and your instructions are spot on!! I believe we can do this!!!
I shouldn`t have watched this. Now I want one. Awesome job!!!
Great job and video!
All in good detail step by step, i always wanted to do this but dint know how and now i can yeah thanks so much!!!
I've been hunting on YT for tutorials on how to build a fake rock garden but none of the videos matched the scale I was looking for. This is perfect since I suspected from the beginning that this was going to require some form of wooden structure to support the entire thing. Brilliant! Thank you for your video! And BTW: No project that is worthwhile, EVER goes without hard work, some blood loss and a lot of beer! Those 3 things are an absolute necessity before you even consider going to Home Depot (which we don't have in my country but you get the idea)!!! Good job! You should be VERY proud!! And thanks for the heads-up about trusting the process when just the frame is built. I also would have doubted myself at that point. But it turned out fantastic!
Excellent. I have another tip that I'd like to add if I may, regarding aesthetics. After the stage where you've built up the rockwork but before painting in the detail work (vines, etc.) and once the cement is cured, apply black latex paint using a brush to all the crevices and indentations; basically where shadows would form. Your project will look like a big gray brain at this point, but after that paint cures, use a paint sprayer and apply a thin coat of a lighter gray paint around the whole thing. On larger rock outcroppings you can apply a little thicker, but the idea is just to "dust" the surface allowing the darker paint in the lower spots to bleed through. This adds a lot of depth and will make the rockwork even more realistic.
Thanks for the input! I need to repaint the whole build later this year, i will definately try this out and may make another video! 👍🏼
Looks great, great imagination, and excellent excellent execution. Very well done...👍
I can't wait to build one! Growing up my Grandma had one that was about 6 foot tall and not that wide.... It had a little water reservoir at the bottom and i'm not sure what they used for the guts of it but it was sprayed with foam, detailed, and painted. I LOVED that waterfall. Sadly it got passed on to my Mom who then sold it later and i've missed seeing that in Grandma's front garden so I want to make one for mine!! Now I have a good idea of how to get started and oddly enough think the concrete will come out cheaper than the foam as that spray foam is EXPENSIVE. Thanks for sharing this!!!
Wish you a lot of fun building your own waterfall! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great information in here! And you are a delightful person!!
You did an amazing job!!!! You inspired me.
Stunning! You did an amazing job. I would love this in my yard.
Excellent Narration and step by step info. Good humor, Relaxed delivery appreciated as well. Great job all around!
Simply fantastic!!! Thanks for sharing such a creative work!!! 😆😀😎
It looks relaxing! Great job! Thanks for sharing!
Awesome work!! I see here a lot of work but you did great job. Looking great!!
very good, complete information & honest vlog
Nice job, I'm trying to build one in an existing caliche retaining wall. Will be using some of your ideas for finish work. My structure is already there, just needs to be sealed and shaped😎
Didnt realize how simple it could be. Good job.
What a beautiful waterfall! Very nice!
Love it. Thanks for posting it.
FABULOUS! Absolutely LOVE it!
Amazing piece of art! I would also place some pebbles, shaped drift wood here and there and small ornamental plants on the cliff itself to spare me a bit of the detailing effort :)
Great job! Lots of work but looks great.I have had lots of smaller waterfalls in my Koi ponds but always dreamed of full backyard wall of water falls, maybe now some day! Thanks!
Very attractive.Thank you. Am going to use some ideas for an outdoor tropical man cave party area.
Thanks for posting this. I'm about midway through making my own right now. I'm at the gopher wire stage. It's a bit daunting and feel like I need to take a week off work to finish, but so far it is looking like a good frame and I have my pond about ready to go. Thanks again for the inspiration!
+starshiptrouter sounds good, take your time! And consider to run some cables thru the construction to hook up a power socket later on, just make sure that it is outside the splash zone
Yeah, good point. I've thought about how to do the electrical. Right now it would be easy to run PVC pipe through the yard to my outdoor receptacle. but some flexible conduit to get it from the water to the "mountain" structure would be good. I also want to look into a power switch I could either wire into the power cord, but I'd have to make a really good water-tight box for it. Yeah, I"ve got kids too so, 120V, water and kids is risky mixture. Hmmm. I like the take the time approach...my son and I have been thinking about this and researching for about 8 months before getting going...as well as scratching together some cash to do it. Hey, how well is your mortar still adhering to the paper-mache? I'm considering paper-mache or burlap over my gopher wire and then yet another layer of chicke wire over that.
starshiptrouter most led underwaterlights are 12v low currend, so that should be safe
Thank you very much for the ideas.
Totally awesome. I definitely want to do this in my backyard
This is by far the best video I've seen on how to do this.
I am very impressed! I live in Montana. I decided to buy the old money pit that I grew up in.( great memories) I guess my folks were bigger hoarders than I remembered...I finally clear the back yard and in the process, I found that I inherrited a pretty large pile of old assorted tires from trucks, cars and even airplanes. Someone said to go to UA-cam and look up *diy yard waterfalls made with tires*-so I did! Yours has not one tire in it...but your creativity in building, is off the charts, Amazing! You give me inspiration! I'm going to use tires AND some of your ideas towards a hopeful success! I saved your video and when mine is done, I will send you a finished look with credits for using some of your ideas! Thank You! Now I'm Going to pour a glass if Chardonnay and get to planning! 😊
Tires are a good idea, you could basicly use everything that has volume. Glad you liked the video, looking forward to see a picture! You can send it onto my instagram account when youre done ;)!
Cheers
Awesome mate. Awesome build and awesome narration.
Thinking about building something similar in the future with fish in the pond. TY for the ideas.
Very nice work, i'm impressed with all the little details
wow thats beautiful
Not bad man hella good job on the rock structure looks good! Thinking of putting one up in my yard!
Beautifully done ,thank you for the vid.
Excellent. Really like this.
Very cool. you made this look easy.
Very nice you did a great job. Your an artist and didn’t know it. I’m sure your really full of ideas now. Happy creating.
Excellent ! You gave me some great ideas. Thanks.
Excellent work
Very motivated. Beautiful work
Things can get bloody at this point!!! You are hilarious!!!😆
That is a beautiful creation.
Thank You for sharing and you sure did help in deciding what to do in my little oasis. :)
You give great commentary on this. It inspires me to try this but maybe not so big.
Thanks for sharing this! 💯
Love it! And yes you have motivated me to build one. Maybe not quite as big a scale as yours, but my ideas are just going crazy here. I really like this idea better than most I have seen, as where I live, I couldn't possibly build up a staircase as a base. Adult paper mache, perfect! Thank you so much for sharing. I just hope that my idea isn't going to break the bank LOL
I only wish you had shown the process for the pipes and lights. But thank you just the same for sharing!
Your Vid was useful thank you.
I have completed step one of my waterfall and stream.
I have a tiered backyard so a natural 2 waterfall drop
Love it!!! You did amazing !!!
Awesome bro! Love it! Well done!
Great work!!!!!
Great idea and an awesome job
So inspiring, definitely thumbs up
Very cool project, great job and great creative vision!
That looks awesome!
You did a nice job I want to try to do something like that too,
I’ll try to find some more videos and start looking at my yard a little more scrutiny
Beautifull project!
Looks like a lot of work! Great job
Well done sir!
True artistic talent

I've got the "drinking beer" part perfected. Trying to move on to step two.
😂😂😂
Great job
I’m drinking a beer watching your video. Good job, looks great with the trees planted around.
C'est bon "du papiers mâchés" :) Awesome!
