Add a water feed line connected to a toilet tank float so it'll refill the water as it evaporates! 👍

[jeffhenderson]

Awesome! That’s a week long project for me. Then my OCD will kick in, and I’ll tear it down and get it right the second time. But you did make it look easy. EXACTLY what I was looking to build. Thank you!

Love the burnt wood finish. 2 things no overflow for when it rains and the silicon can be applied to the drips before plug them into the pvc pipe. Few water loving plant arround it, and a night light, it will look stellar!!

I agree with fur about a liner, and adding weed fabric on top of the water collector to keep any debris out. Other than that it's a nice and easy way to add some curb appeal. Good job.

Nice make sure you have a float switch in the tank for low level cut off

Enjoyed your video. Considering water feature in our garden. For me a big part of the selection will be the actual sound of the water feature as that varies a lot with different water feature designs. As such a short section of video where we could hear what the completed water feature sounds like without any other audio would have helped. This seems to be something most water feature videos overlook. Thanks again for the video and ideas.

Cool water feature but you'll constantly be adding water to the basin with this design due to wind and splashing water on the rocks. Ive built several style "pondless" water features like this and have always had to return to using pond liner extending farther past the catch basin to catch all the water. I really like how you scorched the cedar.

[freedomlife]

Nice!👍 You should try using the wood torching technique for your fence too!

[NightSky]

I like the Scorched Wood & Linseed Oil idea

[mckinnley]

Im definitely making one of these for my dog!

[ArmyVet]

Awesome build👍🏼 The Wife now wants one for her garden.

[andrearothkimmich]

absolutely phenomenal - both the design as well as your video! thanks abundantly!

[baroneblades]

It’s like designing a fireplace and mantle. Very cool and can be designed for any style.

[WulfricTheBlack]

Since there’s power to it an outdoor led strip to light it up would be nice

[edtravelbug]

We are working on a water feature now and this video gave me-us some ideas. Thanks for sharing and your end product looks awesome!

[susanpeterson]

I love it, I'm redoing some of my garden spaces, adding a fire element but I also wanted the water element. This is perfect, thanks so much for the video.
Three thumbs up!!!

I'm only halfway thru the video but this is so freaking cool. I told my boyfriend I needed a blow touch... 😄🔥🌧️💕

[beehead]

Thanks for the inspiration. I would consider extending the top horizontal beyond the verticals, e.g.. Pi symbol.

[NightSky]

I plan on doing something like That. Thought about metal plated face that would rust over time. I wished you would've shown a bit more detail on your non-screwed "access panels". I think adding pond liner around the Periphery sloping towards the catch basin would help retain water from splashes

[Backyardscape]

Great idea. I know a lot of people add water features to drown out unwanted noise too.
