Three Tier Stone Water Fountain Installation
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 сер 2024
- So this project is a continuation of upgrading an area off my back patio. I have videos up already for the planter and fire pit build with a paver patio build video coming soon. We actually drove about an hour south of the border with Mexico to buy this fountain from a roadside vendor near Imuris, Sonora, Mexico. The pump, pipe/tubing, and mortar were purchased at a local hardware store. This fountain has been very relaxing to hear every time we are on our back patio, which is a lot!

You are genius … i which I could be your student to make those things
Thanks for such kind words! 😊
How long has it been since you originally built this fountain and it is it still standing intact and working with no leaks
@@gsxripper8418 it is around 2 years old and still holding water well. I lose more water to evaporation and birds drinking out of it. We use it regularly. Thanks for the question.
Hello! Can you share the name of the pump purchased here in mexico? It´s still working? Thank you very much! Its really nice your fountain
Hello. So I bought the fountain stone pieces in Imuris, Sonora, Mexico. The pump was purchased in Arizona at one of the big DIY stores. It is a smartpond 420-GPH Submersible Pond Pump. It has been doing well and is easy to take apart and clean any debris that gets in. Thanks for the question!
What mortar did you use to glue all the pieces together?
It was Amerimix preblended mortar type S
I have a stone water feature that is stored to go on the wall but it's way too heavy. Can you give me ideas on how I can set it up?
Hello Maggie. Without knowing the specifics of your water feature, I can only offer some suggestions. If installation instructions were not included try googling the make or model for more info. Usually these features have some type of mounts on the back to hang on lag bolts that are drilled into studs. The heavier ones could also require an extra support shelf to sit on. I know it’s not much but I hope it helps. You got this! 😁
@@fixcreateexplore Thank you
Is it water proof? I’m building a fountain in my back yard and don’t know what to use
It leaks water slowly into the surrounding planter so I have to top it off every 3-4 days in the summer. I believe I lose some to evaporation and wildlife as well since temperatures are sitting around 100-110F. The stone of the fountain itself also soaks in some of the water. I’ve been happy with topping it off occasionally and I feel like the only thing I could have done to make it more leak resistant is to apply something similar to what they use in pools. Hope that helps with your build. 😁
WOW... that snare drum banging is annoying!!
I apologize. 😅 Listening to it today I have to agree! I’ll edit and repost when I get a chance. Thanks
