Pro Tip: Use Cooking Oil. I’m a Licensed Tankeman. I have 13 years experience with Jet Fuel, Diesel and other Hazardous materials. Cooking Oil works just as good. Don’t Use Petrochemicals (Diesel) There are many chemicals additives that you don’t want on you, your fountain/pond that your kid/ pets will most like taste when your not looking 👍 Great Looking Fountain.

Great! A few things I would do different: 1. Add some rebar in the concrete: will make the structure much stronger. Your top edge is currently VERY fragile. 2. instead of rigid pipes with right angles use PE with no joints and smooth angles. If you want rigid pipes use 45° angles instead. Both these implementations will improve water flow, which means you will need a less power-hungry pump to move the same water.

You could add a piece of steel angle in place of that wood. Every steel yard has a cutoff section where you can pick smaller pieces to avoid paying for a whole stick. They'll even cut it to the exact length you would need. It would rust to a natural patina that would look great there.

A bigger concern is the toddler who walked past the frame at the end of the video. If the child tries to climb it, and kids do wacky, unpredictable things, the concrete will fall on them. That is a significant weight accelerating downward. Not cool at all. If two rebar spikes are inserted or cast into the feature then corresponding slots can be cast into a basic footing so it won’t fall over. Or, at least slow the fall so it’s not child-lethal. But seriously, never build anything tippy out of concrete when there is any chance kids will be there, ever.

Regarding your mold, if you were to use Formica surfaced boards you'd have a smoother surface contacting the concrete and easier to remove. Also, how about some rebar or even chickenwire/farm cloth to help the concrete's ability to hold up. Another suggestion is if you cast a trough on the top surface, the water will then cascade in a sheet rather than random drips. That might control the noise as well
@greenidguy9292
3 жыл бұрын
I agree with all you said, but with my thoughts...the Formica if you’re going for a clean/modern look, however if you want more rustic I’d suggest the thin packing material (thin wrapping with small air bubbles). The trough is a great idea especially coupled wit three water spread evenly on top would definitely make a nicer “rainfall” effect. To lessen the noise I’d say build your form so the base comes to a triangle where the water meets it.

Thanks for this easy to make novel, modern art, water fountain. It's the best design I've seen for a DIY fountain. I plan to make a small one - 15" tall with a container underneath covered with rocks for water storage and pump, to put on the raised platform of my wood stove as a work of art that provides soothing water sounds. Concrete is perfect in an area close to a woodstove.

Love the video, Travis! Thanks for sharing such a creative, great idea. Question: What is the approximate 'splash zone' from your 3' tall water sculpture? I'm thinking I may need to purchase an appropriately sized tote for my application/climate.

With the board dampener at the base the water splashes about 2.5 ft each direction. Roughly.

How do you keep the system from drying out with water evaporation?

I'm assuming using a hose to water the rocks at the base to fill up the reservoir.

Yea we just top it off occasionally. The pump says it’s supposed to shut itself off it it starts to overheat. So far it seems to be retaining water really well!

Animals are drinking much of my water. The rock covered pool will help with animals and evaporation.

A quick tip when pouring concrete in forms. Put the whole thing on a plywood board. Hold a running palm sander against the plywood. The vibration will help settle the concrete and vibrate any bubbles up to the top

Would it not leave the pattern of the plywood on the concrete? Perhaps.I am thinking of OSB board.

Excelente! I'm gonna copy your idea and apply another pro-tip: wire mesh embedded in the concrete for strength and support. If it was to get knocked over it could withstand cracking. Also, I will include some sort of embedded lights to shine down the drips.
