    :eek:hi ,a few things i left about the bason or hole.the soil or clay you dig out of the bason ca be used for the cons of the waterfall.the pipe u use the house the pump ,you have to drill holes in the pipe to let water into the pipe for the pump to work.the liner should extra long where you are building the waterfall so that the liner from the waterfall over lapped it. yours ponddigger

    hi,now for the waterfall,you use the clay from the bason to make base of the waterfall.you dig out steps in the clay to make little falls for the stream.put in your rubber liner for the stream.hide the liner with stone and gravel to make it look more natural.put in your waterfallbox at the top of the stream. look at photo.connect your 1 half inch pipe into the waterfall box:confused: yours ponddigger

    very good i would take the stones out and have an open pond with plants and maybe some small fish.when it is planted up with grasses ferns bamboos a bit of colour it will be lovely well done.

    Hi Pondigger, Terrific work and great pictures. It's a credit to your talents.
    I bet her indoors is well pleased with you.
    Was hoping to get mine done this year but all the Rain held work up, So I will have to wait until next year. But please keep the photos coming.
