A Design Plan
Decide the size, location, style, and overall look before buying materials.

The pump moves water from the basin to the top of the wall.
Reservoir Basin
A hidden basin collects and recirculates the water.
Surface Material
Tile, slate, stone, glass, copper, or panels create the finished look.
Lighting
LED lighting can make the water wall look much better at night.
Maintenance Access
Make sure you can reach the pump, tubing, and reservoir later.
