I recently went over to my old best friend’s house and she had one of the most amazing waterfalls I have ever seen on her porch. When I asked her where on Earth she got it and she said, to my complete amazement, that she had made it herself! I was completely dumbfounded, I said, you mean you are a waterfall maker? She laughed and laughed, no far from it she said, then she pulled out her phone and showed me a Youtube video where she found this amazing idea. I couldn’t wait to get home and try this out. I started getting my materials together as soon as I pulled into my garage because I was going to make this DIY waterfall a reality, I could not wait because this waterfall is so awesome looking.

Then paint your gorgeous waterfall and add a corrugated roof and then fill your well in the middle with water and organize your pump and tubing to get the water to run off of the faux roof.
