Building Backyard WATERFALL FEATURE

What happens here

Using a drill with a spade bit, drill multiple holes (approximately 1.25 inches in diameter) in the plastic grate that sits inside the water basin. The video suggests drilling one hole in the center of every square section of the grate. These holes will allow water to drain into the main reservoir while preventing decorative rocks from falling into the pump area.

Goal: Ensure proper water drainage while containing decorative rocks

Tools and materials

  • Drill Ryobi — Drilling holes in the plastic grate
