Building Backyard WATERFALL FEATURE

What happens here

Cut tongue and groove cedar planks to size using a miter saw. The video demonstrates cutting the planks individually. Attach the cedar planks horizontally to the exterior of both the water basin frame and the tall back wall frame. Use a brad nailer to secure the planks, ensuring the brad nails are shot at an angle through the tongue of each plank to conceal the fasteners. Start with the bottom plank and work your way up.

Goal: Cover the wooden frames with tongue and groove cedar planks
