Wall with a waterfall in the country

Wall with a waterfall in the country

In today's workshop, we will look at how to quickly and beautifully make a mini-waterfall in a summer cottage. Firstly, it will take a minimum of space, and secondly, it will fit perfectly into the look of your site.

As for materials, here you will need to work hard to assemble all the necessary accessories.

Namely, you will need:
- a sheet of copper,
- wooden beams,
- concrete slab,
- concrete mix
- pipes, PVC connectors,
- galvanized screws,
- building glue,
- pebbles
- protective glasses,
- volumetric masking tape,
- soft rag or towel,
- pump
- waterproof spotlights,
- paint
- sand
- sandpaper,
- decorative tiles (copper color),
- a circular saw,
- drill and drill,
- a shovel.

As you noticed, the list is rather big, but, believe me, it's worth it. We pass directly to the master class itself.

1. Before you begin, you must imagine your future project as a whole. As for the waterfall, here the wall will need a height of about a meter. Also under it you will need to dig a base, as well as a base for a pool for falling water. Please note that the pool should be as wide as the width of the wall itself.

2. Now you need to dig holes. There should be three of them. The first will be for the pool itself. This pit should be deep enough so that water does not splash out of it. And for the wall itself, also dig two two-meter pits (they are needed under the pillars).

3. We turn to the manufacture of walls for the waterfall. To do this, take two 3-meter wooden beams and attach to them a concrete slab using galvanized screws. We attach the plate for one meter. On the reverse side also with wooden beams, strengthen the structure. Note that you need to attach perpendicular to the two side. To make it easier to do this, measure the length of the pieces themselves first, and then fasten them together. Try to place cross beams at the top. At the bottom and in the middle of the wall.


4. We begin to make holes. To do this, retreat 30 centimeters from the upper edge of the plate itself, then cut out the hole with a circular saw. From this hole, water will fall down. Try to make the hole as rectangular and not wide as possible.

5. Before you fasten the copper sheet to the wall - prepare it. Sand it with sandpaper and sand. This is necessary so that the sheet tightly fastens to the wall.The back side just leave unchanged.

6. Using construction glue (use very strong), glue the copper sheet with the back to the wall. Apply glue with a special notched trowel, so that there is a high-quality hitch. At the same time, press the sheet as hard as possible so that the glue is evenly distributed. For convenience, use a towel.


7. After the copper sheet adheres tightly, grab and cut a narrow horizontal hole on it. To do this, outline the cut points and be sure to paste over the edges with masking tape. Adhesive tape is needed in order not to scratch a sheet of copper during cutting.

8. The entire water supply structure is made of plastic pipes and connectors. Therefore, mask visible parts in this way: paint the connector with copper color.

9. As a rule, cutting copper is exactly very difficult. Therefore, it is better to close all the errors with special pieces of decorative tiles, choosing the right tone. They need to be glued with construction glue to the hole in the wall together with a dried and painted connector.

10. Now you must use two beams to drive the wall into the prepared pits. The front side of the wall should be turned to the pool itself. Fix the pits with cement mortar.

11. The pool itself is covered with pebbles. And only then fix waterproof luminaires in it, which are often used to decorate gardens.

12. The last step is to connect all the pipes and connections to your waterfall.

Now your unusual wall with a waterfall and a pool is ready. Admire your invention!

The waterfall, of course, is gorgeous, but now I don’t understand something, where does the water go. But it cannot endlessly accumulate in the pool, if the waterfall works for a rather long time, there will be a swamp in the same place. It turns out, you also need to do some assignment?
Indeed, it turns out such a beauty! In the country, this will definitely become the center of attention for all people who see it. The only thing worth thinking about is who will become a master of such beauty. Not everyone can make such a wall with a waterfall. The design is quite complicated to manufacture, but if you have the patience and strength, then everything will work out.
Eh, what prevents this copper sheet from decorating with artificial stone? There would be an even prettier waterfall that merges with nature as much as possible. Personally, tap water does not bother me. After all, it can also be turned on and off at will, and for groundwater, a pump is also needed. I liked this find, but would refine the copper sheet.
Over time, the copper in the waterfall will become "the noble color of the old bronze statue", so there is no need to cover it.
This idea uses tap water - this is impractical. In addition, there is no drain from the pool - where to put the water? It is much more interesting to put a submersible pump and turn on the waterfall if desired. I agree with Eugene, about cheaper materials. Why copper sheet? There are beautiful and cheap plastic coatings.
It looks, of course, spectacular. But, I agree, not everyone can do it. We still have a different water pressure, is it enough for such a waterfall, as in the photo? There is still a question of saving, now almost in all summer cottages there are water meters, well, that’s for thought) And it’s better to install it on the sunny side so that the lamps have time to charge properly.
The work is quite complicated and not every craftsman can do it. Perhaps copper should be coated with some kind of composition to prevent its oxidation from constant humidity.Instead of expensive copper sheet, cheaper materials can be used. It is worth considering the possibility of winter conservation of the structure for its further use.
Of course, it’s worth it to work very hard to find all the materials, but after that, to put it all in a single pile, but this waterfall is really worth the time spent. The idea is actually not bad, but in my opinion it is necessary to somehow reduce the cost of materials. At the same time, simplify the design and reduce the cost of money and time spent.
