What I loved MOST about your video was the very visible LIST there so that you know all the ingredients or supplies at once glance. That is so terrific! Thanks for this information. Presently I do not have a water feature but would love one of those , eventually.
This is beautiful. My only concern would be for the toxic chemicals in the waterproofing & paint. Birds, wild animals, and even a dog or cat might be vulnerable to harm if they decide to take a drink from this fountain. I'd rather use non-toxic materials to protect animals.
A solution to this would be to use ceramic and either run your tubing through the bottom and seal with marine epoxy. It won’t leach once cured, or set inside another waterproof basin.
You can use a plastic tub, and paint with a textured stone, stucco, or whatever paint. Then there's no hole in the bottom or painting the inside, or don't paint it at all.
If you want this look, that is actually a far better and much cheaper idea. I think it's a shame that such a beautiful tube like the one she used is being painted to look like almost any cheap one you can buy at a garden center. And it's expensive too, there is a lot of material going into that. No problem if you want to preserve the natural beauty of a tub. I'd love to have such a nice weathered one. Depends on someone's taste I guess. But her enthusiasm is contagious. Now I really want one.
Adding sand to the paint alone was worth the price of my click. Genius. Never seen that before. That’s a great way to get a cement texture. This water feature is so cool!
Nice video. Great choice of music at the end too. Im actually thinking about making this fountain but on a much smaller scale and keeping it on a table in my home. Any suggestions for small water plants that need partial sun or no sun?
Really nice as a feature on my micro farm, I really want the birds and insects to also be able to come down and have a drink Building up a more natural environment on my micro farm really helps keep down pests and diseases. Happy gardening/farming Marty Ware (Australian Micro Farmer)
I'm thinking for birds a much more shallow water feature like a bird bath would be safer for them. You could put the shallow water feature on the ground or elevated like a standard bird bath.
I think there are probably newer products that are easier to install since this was made. I thinking of something like Flexseal that can just be sprayed on. Not sure if it would hold up as well over time.
The pot was an old planter that already had a hole. She cut out a polystyrene “plug” and used the membrane and waterproofing compound to rebuild and waterproof over the hole.
Informative video. BTW, do you think the Flex Seal product, they advertise on TV, would be good enough to waterproof the bowl/pot instead of the method you demo? Thanks
Flex Seal is a worthless product! It does not work. There's even a disclaimer on the Box about using it in water. Even though the stupid commercials are nothing but water related issues!
I would love to have this lady over to my house to help me with making a pond with waterfall. She knows exactly what she’s doing and She’ doesn’t it beautifully and with passion
Hi Denise, our team has advised that both paint products are not toxic to fish, however they are not recommended. Durapond or Bitumen Tite (with the biddum membrane) would be more suitable.
Irises and lilies are toxic for cats and dogs, ranging from a mild to more severe effect so make sure whatever plants you use are safe around your pets. Nice looking fountain, though!

@@kt9495 Yes, that seems safer 👍

By far one of the most beginner- friendly tutorials. I love this woman.
She is pretty adorable...
AGREED!!!

Searched UA-cam for DIY water feature... this one is the best. Thank you Tanya. Nice, simple, easy.
Someone asked how to make it solar powered. You just use a solar powered pump!
That pot is perfect and deep enough to use a powered pump. Great 👍
Nice video. Great choice of music at the end too. Im actually thinking about making this fountain but on a much smaller scale and keeping it on a table in my home. Any suggestions for small water plants that need partial sun or no sun?
Actually liked the pot without the paint way better.

What sort of pump did you use please
Would like to see exactly how you covered the hole. Thanks
I would unplug it when altering fountain pressure. Just in case you get electrocuted by faulty pump.
You, my lady, have a really lovely and nice accent.
South African, I believe?
Thought it was Australian lol
Definitely South African. I am from,there as well
Thank you, where will I find a pot of the size?.
I think there are probably newer products that are easier to install since this was made. I thinking of something like Flexseal that can just be sprayed on. Not sure if it would hold up as well over time.
I would like it if you put plants all around the fountain so it hides the pump
Thank god one that a beginner can actually understand thank you so much.
Hello South Africa
It looks beautiful
Why do you have to add the membrane every where shouldn’t the pot hold the water on its own once you have sealed the hole?
It is insurance.
Wow! This has inspired me, but when it comes to "DIY" projects, I am uncertain. Thanks for sharing this with us. Pretty awesome!
OH my god that plant in the back ! what is it?! looks like a succulent but so much bigger i love it !
Mihai Mimi the large plants in the landscape are a type of Aloe. It coulf be aloe vera, aloe hercules or another large aloe species
@@plantsandfish7197 You are so right , thank you !
How can you use/make a solar pump for your feature?
Just at the Sun! A sunny spot will be best!
Why did you make a hole in the pot? you didn't show how you covered it?
The pot was an old planter that already had a hole. She cut out a polystyrene “plug” and used the membrane and waterproofing compound to rebuild and waterproof over the hole.
I liked the external patina. Loved the rest of it.
Love this project. Lots of work and oh so worth it. Lovely.
So why are you putting a membrane on there Ceramic pots don't need a membrane right
Beautiful, I love the plants!
Good practical instructions.
Informative video. BTW, do you think the Flex Seal product, they advertise on TV, would be good enough to waterproof the bowl/pot instead of the method you demo? Thanks
Flex Seal is a worthless product! It does not work. There's even a disclaimer on the Box about using it in water. Even though the stupid commercials are nothing but water related issues!
I personally have found Flex Seal to be junk. It works great for a few weeks, then degrades. Especially in the sun.
Wrong brush. Try something that fits in a bucket, and allows for coverage on curved surfaces such as the pot your "painting"
Tanya, What can I add to the water to prevent it from turning green. Can you help? I love your idea, keep up the good work

I imagine her husband would be likened to the great late Bob Ross
Could I use a Solar pump do you think ?
( sighting in full sun obviously )
🇬🇧👍🇬🇧👍
Where did you plug it in
So beautiful! Great job
Awesome 👏 I love it 🥰
Hola soy de la ciudad de México y la verdad no hablo inglés habría una posibilidad de que pusieran subtítulos...gracias
I love this! Thanks so much for sharing.
Beautiful fountain!
Is that a solar or electric pump
Why don't you post alot of videos lately?I have been your follower for a long time.
I don't see where I can buy the pot from I'm in the USA : )
I agree. Was going to ask where would be a good place to find a similar pot? I've never seen a pot that height/width at Home Depot, etc.
You can use an Orinoco bowl
Terri Radke You can find the pot like that at Calloway nursery.
I would love to have this lady over to my house to help me with making a pond with waterfall. She knows exactly what she’s doing and She’ doesn’t it beautifully and with passion
what a lovely accent ...
I would expect a pressure washer would do a much better job than the wire brush and go faster
Why does the pot need to be waterproofed? Isn't it already waterproof?
Wow!!! I loved that… thanks for sharing ❤️
süper
Nnnn
Hi love the water feature.
What height and diameter is the pot
What was that intial attachment on pump. it comes along with that pump?
Can I grow water cress in this kind of fountain?
How do you secure the pump in the bottom of the pot?
Like it simple enough, why the membrane? Good at any Patio or Entrance! Fine instructions!
because the pot she chose wasn't waterproof.
Cool video. Pot looked cooler before painting though.
Nice
Chemicals in a birdbath. Terrible.
Your dog is so cute
Great easy to follow video that everyone can DIY
Very nice..
Good !
excellent building advice & enjoyable to watch
IF...you happen to have a pricey huge pot...
قناه لمسه ابداع يرسم فيها فنااااااان ادعوكم لزيارتها
The best. Been looking for this tutorial
Use Flex Seal, much, much easier
Nos puede hacer el favor y colocarlo en español gracias Dios los bendiga siempre 👍
Really, that size of pot most folks have lying around? C’mon. How about adding how we can source something like that?
Exactly what I want to know
Where did you get the basin?
Thank you. It obviously takes a good women to keep it simple
Love it simple n direct easy to fallow
Traduction please.
Very cool idea to use an old planter!
Your enthusiasm is utterly infectious. :)
It's absolutely stunning
can you use a metal pot? thanks for tute
Fantastic video.. very informative
What a great job, hi from the UK.
Great video, thank you!
Would this be appropriate to put either a couple of goldfish or maybe one beta fish in? Didn't know if the waterproofing paint is toxic to fish.
Hi Denise, we'll check this with our paint team and will advise as soon as we get feedback.
Hi Denise, our team has advised that both paint products are not toxic to fish, however they are not recommended. Durapond or Bitumen Tite (with the biddum membrane) would be more suitable.
What’s the container size

Thanks for that info I will be sure to get a few of these around my garden. Thanks again.
