No garden is complete until you add a water feature. They bring so many benefits including the relaxing sound of water, beautiful reflections, and the opportunity to grow a whole range of stunning plants. You can even add fish and an aquaponics bed to grow herbs and vegies.
We’ll show you how to put together a super simple water feature using off the shelf products, and the best part is, it will take you less than half a day.
There are a couple of things you need to think about before installing a water feature.
If you have kids around, make sure that it’s not too deep. Plants like water lilies that need around 30cm of water above their roots to thrive, so consider installing underwater safety mesh across the pond.
Also think about the location. Lots of sun is great for flowering lilies, but it can also encourage algae, so you will need to consider extra filtering.
Also consider how the pond will look, as it really needs to be integrated into the garden.
All you’ll need for this project is a preformed pond, a suitable pump, some flexible tubing, and a preformed cascade to create a miniature waterfall. You’ll also need some large stones and several bags of gravel, plus your choice of plants.

This is so good but short. I like it and have 2 Ponds that need to be connected. I am working on it and have a small river connected both. The liner is down and rocks to hold it all waterproof. Your instant waterfall I sure like but will work alone and am 80y old. A nice hobby so keep enjoying it. You live longer and stay home more often!
Hey dude ! Can i ask is that a submersible pump?? Can i get some link for the pump/filter.tnx

I wish I had seen this before I did one of my Ponds. To put the Pebbles in are great! Mine floated without that 2x! I now have a drain under it all but it would have been better to know all this. A hobby with appeal and some limits. I have none!
are you a mental
I cannot do this in my home
Great directions…thanks!
Where did you get that pond? Can't find anything like it online.
Where can one buy one of those ready made pond features..
This will NOT support fish! You need a hell of a lot more filtration than that if you want to keep fish alive.
I know right dude it's impossible to know if its right for the environment
Great vid – but I don't understand how the pump gets it's power. I see a water intake hose and an outtake hose but I don't see an electrical cord. Where exactly is it? And I'm assuming it's waterproof!
