One of the easiest (and coolest) DIY pondless water feature yet. Make this invisible fountain bubbler in an afternoon and enjoy it for years to come! This particular pondless water feature project should cost you a total of $75 – $100 depending on what materials you need to purchase. You may have some of these items at home, already! If you decide to go the solar route, this will cost closer to $200.

Steps to create this pondless fountain
1- Dig a hole to fit basin
2- Place basin in the hole
3- Assemble the pump
4- Cover pump with cloche or cheese cloth and anchor to bottom of basin
5- Place metal grate on top of basin level with the ground
6- Cover the grate with hardware cloth (screen)
7- Cut a trap door into the hardware cloth for servicing the pump
8- Make the pump easy to access in the future
9- Bury edges of screen with soil
10- Add rocks to the screen area above the basin
11- Fill your basin with water
12- Turn on & enjoy

The way you film it, the way you explain it, the way you make it look so easy makes me want to do it myself.

U are right I’ve seen this all over utube but I have yet to see one like yours that’s practically a no brainer. Thank u so much for sharing this easy step by step video.

Great instruction!!!! Dug a hole and put my basin in place....waiting for my pump to arrive from Amazon! Cant wait to finish my project!

I like the video. GFI outlets for power source would be good to mention. The ultimate guard against electrocution. ;-)

Thank you for sharing this 👍🏼brilliant!
Whilst living in NC I had Water everywhere in my yard and so many Birds. I’m in NM now and a Water fountain feature is what’s going to make our yard more attractive to Birds. Paint strainer bags also good for wrapping the pump filter.

Am in the process of making this today. Still have some digging and rigging to do, but I think it will turn out very nice, thanks to you. You are so creative and come across as a kind and intelligent soul. Much love from South Carolina.
