Browse Forums Outdoor Living 1 Sep 05, 2012 4:47 pm Hello All I just want to make a small backyard waterfall. In a nutshell I just want to confirm the overall steps 1. Remove Weeds from the Area where waterfall to be built 2. Put the chalking around the area where digging has to be done 3. Dig the Area , as this will serve as the placeholder for water . In my case the area will be like 2m(length)*1m(width)*0.3m(depth) 4. Put the pond liner in the digged area 5. On one side of the digged area, start building the structure with stone (cascading structure) 6. Put the submersible pump in digged area and and get one pipe from pump to top of cascade structure 7. Connect the Pump to Electricity 8. Fill in the Pond 9. Turn on Pump and enjoy the fall. Please clarify if these steps are correct and also if you feel like there is more to any step, then please add it. Thanks Sami Regards, Sami Re: Backyard Waterfall Question 2Sep 05, 2012 5:21 pm I would build the pipe into the cascade structure rather than run it to the top after.
