Building Backyard WATERFALL FEATURE
What happens here
Measure and cut angle iron pieces to fit the vertical and horizontal edges of the cedar cladding. Use a metal chop saw with a diamond blade for precise cuts and an angle grinder to smooth any sharp edges or rough spots. Once cut and smoothed, clean the metal with acetone, then prime it using Krylon ColorMaxx Gray Primer, and paint it with Krylon Fusion Satin Black spray paint. Allow sufficient drying time for the primer and paint. Finally, drill pilot holes and secure the painted metal trim pieces to the cedar cladding using a drill and screws.
Goal: Add a decorative and protective metal trim to the water feature
