What happens here
The foundational step involves constructing a hidden drain basin that effectively collects water, along with a sturdy, visible back wall from which the water will cascade. This forms the primary structural components, requiring excavation, lining for waterproofing, and building the wall structure.
Goal: Build the foundational water collection and display structures
Tools and materials
- Level — Ensuring the back wall and basin are level for proper water flow and aesthetics
- Masonry Trowel — Applying mortar or concrete for wall construction
- Shovel — Excavating the area for the drain basin
- Building Stone — Constructing the visible back wall
- Construction Aggregate — Creating a stable base for the basin and wall
- Mortar — Binding building stones or blocks for the back wall
- Pond Liner — Waterproofing the drain basin
