Hello everyone, love the forum so far. New guy, just bought our first house, and have always loved the backyard pond/waterfalls, so this was a must.
Been going at it for about a week now, bought a 145 gal preformed pond, and one of the preformed cascade waterfalls.
The area is sectioned in the corner of our yard by a gray retaining wall, with black mulch and some plants and maybe a few solar lights.
We were gonna just "dump" the waterfall into the pond, as you normally at all, but decided to do the waterfall sideways behind the pond, and have a stream going from the bottom of the waterfall into the pond.
I'm at a loss right now on what to make the stream with. Pond won't have any fish, but possibly a few small plants.
I was thinking a large 7-8" diameter PVC pipe cut in half longways, but I unfortunately have no way to cut it, and don't know anybody who could.
I can take/upload a few pictures tomorrow morning to help make more sense.
I thought maybe some kind of rubber liner and form the stream in the soil/mulch, but I can't find any kind of rubber lining that I think would work.
Any suggestions on what I could use? Really excited to get this finished over my long weekend. (Usually work 6-7 long days a week).
Thanks in advance!
