Need ideas for Patio and porch water features

[studiovette]

Looking to place a small water feature on front porch area and wanted some ideas. Ive seen some of the prefab stuff Aquascape sells like the aquarocks kit or patio bowls.
might want to build something myself. Any ideas or pics you can share will be appreciated

giant fiberglass flower pot with plants and a pump and it looks great and adds a relaxing sound to your entry .You could probably use a indoor tank pump .Those big flower pots are not really expensive but look great I am thinking of it for out side my side door .

Gosh I can buy the big flower pot here for 55 dollars .If you look at guitarmans cistern pond he is using one of those big pots .I can get a clay one cheaper.Been thinking about one of my baskets I built ,a piece of liner a small pump and done

I deff like the planter idea, it's cheap and simple and will add a nice touch as you come into my house from the front. If my rear patio door is open on a cool day you hear the pond in the backyard so I would like the same type of feeling from the front if your sitting out there. Just need to decide if I want to keep it simple with some decorative stone and gravel or actually add plant life.

I used a concrete mixing tub and one of those plastic grid pallets (free).I think there made of fiberglass .I did have to cut it though ,but that was easy ,just used a jig saw .I did it for my mother in law and dad in law years ago and when they passed it was a selling feature every one loved.I planted elephant ears around the back of it ..Wish I had taken a pic but sad to say I didn't and that was back in 2007 .
