      Waterfall

      Hello you guys, so my wife want me to build a waterfall for my to connect to the koi pond. I have no idea where to begin, so everybody have some idea about how to do the waterfall, I'll be really thank you very much. Here is the back of the koi pond, the square box is part of the water also. I was going to put my shower filter behind that square box, and then I put some water lily in that box, after I was hoping to build a little waterfall to connect to the pond. But as for now I can't think of what kind of waterfall should I build. Anybody got some kind of idea or some kind of drawing, I would love to see it. Thanks for now.

      Referencing with the fence, look like your pond is alevated and much taller than the box. So, do you plan for the water fall from the pind to the box?

      To get a watwrfall, that box has to be much higher than the pond, then if you plan lilly in there, you cant see it. So, maybe water stream to connect the two? That way, you dont have to alevated the box too high?

      Hp I like that idea, I didn't think about the lilly in the box at all. Do you have some kind of drawing so I can look? If not it's okay, but with some kind of sketch I can see it better.

      Pond is really looking great!

      When I look at your pond I have trouble envisioning anything but a formal weir style. If kept low to the pond
      surface the water will stay in a nice sheet and it'll enter the pond almost silently and make almost no ripples
      in the pond.

      A water fall should be closer to the pond
      Search google or YouTube for ideas Philip
