Build a bamboo water feature yourself - you need it for that
A water feature made of bamboo belongs in every Japanese garden - and also fits in many other gardens, whether they are natural or modern style. You can build such a gargoyle yourself with simple means and few materials.
These materials are needed for a bamboo water feature
The heart of any water feature is the pump you should buy to make your creation: the higher you plan the water feature, the stronger your performance must be. Now you need a water catch basin, into which the pump is invisibly integrated - for example by placing it on a metal grid and layering natural stones around it. For this purpose, a larger stone with a trough or a clay pot is suitable. The actual water feature is finally made of bamboo tubes, cut to size, provided with openings for the water and connected with metal wire. The diameter of the bamboo tubes should be sized so that there fits a standard garden hose - which you connect to the pump - fits.
Tips
Pretty deco figures for the water feature can be crafted out of cut in form and stuck with foil polystyrene plates. If you like it more natural, choose wood as material.
