A water wall is a great way to add a focal point to your garden or outdoor entertaining area. They can be made from a variety of materials and can add a natural element to your space.

If you’re looking for an affordable and easy way to add a water feature to your home, a DIY water wall is the perfect solution. The project is very simple, requires only a few tools, and can be completed in a very short amount of time.

1. Build a Base for Your Water Wall

Once you’ve chosen your water wall, choose a base that works best for the style of water wall you’re planning to build. This can be a pre-made basin that you simply insert your wall into, or you can make your own. Either way, you’ll want to make sure that the base is waterproof.

2. Use Wooden Slate Tiles to Cover the Waterwall Face

You’ll need to cover the water wall face with wooden slate tiles that are sized to fit your project. You can either use a stain or a clear wood sealant to ensure that the tiles remain watertight.

3. Install the Wall Frame on the Slate Tiles

Once your slate tiles are in place, you’ll need to install the water wall’s frame onto them. This will help to support the weight of the water and also create a nice finished look.

4. Stain and Seal the Wooden Surfaces

To give your water wall a more polished look, you’ll need to stain the wooden surfaces with a stain or sealant that matches the color of the slate tiles. This will protect the surface from fading and will keep it in good condition for years to come.

5. Test Your Funnel/Tube/Bottle Contraption

Once you’ve assembled your funnel/tube/bottle contraption, it’s time to try it out! You can fasten the funnel and tube to a fence or wall with temporary ties, and then screw in the empty plastic bottle. You may have to tweak the holes a bit, or tilt the bottle a little to get it working properly.

6. Fill the Base With Water

If you’re using a pond pump, make sure that it will carry enough water to reach the height of your water wall. If not, you’ll need to add additional hoses to the top of the water wall to connect to a pond pump.

7. Clean Your Water Wall Every Once in a While

Since the water wall will be surrounded by dirt, you’ll need to clean it on a regular basis. This will help to keep the water clean and fresh, and prevent algae from growing in the pond.

8. The Water Wall Can Be a Great Addition to Your Backyard Playground

A homemade water wall is the perfect addition to your backyard play area for kids to explore gravity, angles and water flow. It’s an easy project to complete that offers lots of open-ended play possibilities, and it’s a great learning activity for kids.
