How To Build A Japanese Bamboo Fountain In Less Than 2 Hours

Today I'll be building a Japanese styled bamoo fountain. Although its often called a Shishi Odoshi, that is what is called in the west a deer chaser or deer scarer. The bamboo is stationary and simply allows a small stream of water to flow thru and calmly spills into a water basin. The sound is calming and its a great item for garden pathways and to place near a sitting area. The total build time for me was less than two hours and was simple to assemble the entire fountain.

Thank you very much for taking the time to put together a great video! Your attention to details and ingenuity are amazing! I wish you could do a video showing how you made the bamboo spout.

Glad you enjoyed it!

Really good directions and the fountain looks great. I wish I'd known about the storm drain idea before I built my fountain this past summer. I ended up using a "pond liner" and creating a grate for the top. Definitely not strong enough to stand on, but strong enough for the basin, water and rocks around the base.

It’s the best way I’ve found. Cheers

I built one! I did it just like you said to do it and it worked perfectly. I did make 1 small change. I put the pump inside a paint strainer to protect it. I love it. Thanks for sharing. I appreciate you.

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Nice ❤

[@SuperMaxibaby]

am i missing something ? where does it show how to install the hose in the bamboo upright and flow pipe ?

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

just push it in to the outlet

[@martamccave3473]

Well done video. Thank you. 😊What about mosquitos laying their eggs in the water … or algae developing in the water?

[@tamasrobby6872]

I'd love to make one. Can this be adapted to a solar light source?

[@ron.marley]

Learned a lot. Great clear video.
Where did you get the black fountain reservoir?
Thank you

[@ZenGardenOasis.]

Lowes in the plant pots. They have a couple of sizes. Happy gardening

[@robertd9850]

That was a little disappointing. The one thing I was hoping to learn was how to attach the small spout to the larger piece, especially if I want it at an angle.

[@narwhal7642]

You did not show how to the bamboo part of bamboo fountain?.

[@ARTKAWADA]

What is the GPH pump size you used to create the slow water trickle?

[@TheUnofficialMaker]

about 160gph

It is called a shishi odoshi . It is a Japanese device made to frighten away animals that pose a threat to agriculture. You are welcome .
