Create a Disappearing Waterfall If you are thinking of building a Disappearing Waterfall (sometimes called a Pondless Waterfall) you need to set-up a step by step plan; having an idea in place will allow you to track your progress and build each stage of your waterfall in the proper order. Without a plan you may "obtain the cart before the horse" and have to take apart a portion of your waterfall to perform a step which should have been completely finished. Constructing a Disappearing Waterfall is an easy project for the do-it-yourselfer, also it could be completed in a weekend. With careful planning and a satisfying weekend of work is likely to yard, you can have a lovely water garden. It'll be the focal point of your yard, and a gathering place for relatives and buddies. What you will need: A Disappearing Waterfall kit, shovel, river rock 2-3 inches in diameter, decorative rock � -1 � inches in diameter, landscaping stone, foliage and plants. A Disappearing Waterfall kit is a superb way to get started. These kits contain just about everything you will need, such as a pump, tubing, basin, colorful spillway, glue along with other products for construction. Naturally the rocks, stones and plants choices are left up to you; that way you need to use your imagination and make your Disappearing Waterfall unique. CASCADA DEL HERVIDERO : Dig a hole approximately the size of your basin. There must be a 4" space between your basin and sides of the hole and the very best of the basin ought to be at walk out. Temporarily place the basin in to the hole: check to make certain the basin is level with the ground and has the necessary 4" clearance on the sides. Remove the basin. (Use the excavated soil to partially build your waterfall mound.) Step 2 2: Cover underneath and sides of the hole with an EPMD pond liner and protective pad; take care not to puncture your EPMD pond liner. (Place the protective pad close to the dirt and lay the EPMD pond liner close to the protective pad.) The size of the pond liner and the protective pad will depend on the size of the hole. Step 3 3: Fill the hole about half full of water to help keep the pond liner in place. Step 4: Place the basin in to the hole; be careful not to damage the pond liner. Step 5: Place your submersible pump in to the basin. Connect the tubing and electrical source to the pump. Step 6: Fill the area between the pond liner and basin with river rock that's 2-3 inches in diameter. Fill to within 2 � inches of the top of the hole. Fill the hole with water. Step 7: Build your waterfall to the height and width you desire. Step 8: Install the waterfall weir. Step 9: Run the tubing from the basin to the top of the waterfall and connect it to the waterfall weir. Step 10: Establish the path you want your waterfall to follow and cover the road with an EPMD pond liner and protective pad (underlayment). Place the pond liner and protective pad exactly as you did in step 2 2. Run the pond liner and pad all the way from beneath the waterfall weir right down to and overlap the basin by about 5 inches. Step 11: It is time to decorate your waterfall with rocks and plants. Choose rocks which are common to your neighborhood and utilize the rocks to direct and control the flow of the water. (Flat rocks work especially well to slow the flow of the water and create the sound of running water.) Select CASCADA DEL HERVIDERO which are native to your area and suited for a waterfall. Make your waterfall look as natural as possible.
