This is a beautiful fountain and how wonderful that it's location will be visited by appreciative people. You are a good person, Doug.
Barbara Nolan thanks Barbara👍😀
Thanks a lot dude now my wife wants me to build one of these in our yard. Wasting my beer drinking time with the boys.
Haha, Glad I could help. I can say its a great beer drinking project
Turned out great Doug. I didn't know about using the irrigation fittings vs. straight up drilling holes. Great tip.
I saw this on Pinterest and wanted to make this so bad. Thank you for shooting this video
Cool, I'm glad it was helpful : )
Both video and final product are fantastic.
Thanks Kevin
Wow that is beautiful
incredible talent
Thank you very much
I love it its amazing work! Especially the angel wings in the background of your video.
Thanks Tlayah! Greatly appreciated!
First I'm in love with those beautiful wings and such beauty. I love the sound of the water.
Thank you very much Olga
Beautiful work!!
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful! Looks amazing.
Thank you very much Carl
Fantastic job.
Many thanks Brian!
clever and unique! really nice work
Thank you
Hey Doug, this piece is gorgeous! We love your work, and keep looking forward to seeing new videos. We discovered you when you had something around 800 subscribers, and have been cheering you on as the numbers grew. We are very excited to see that you are now at 1100! Keep up the great work!
PhunKiss Artistic Creations thank you very much! It's greatly appreciated
Love the humor! Beautiful work....
Thanks Andrea, really appreciated!!
Fantastic project!
Thanks Michal
This video was invaluable. We are finalizing a water feature project just like this now and you gave us the inspiration for a brown natural patina look to the metal feature AND the wire mesh with river rock. I was not liking the other choice of leaving a water tank open with water below it from an aesthetic perspective. Thanks for sharing and your feature looks awesome!
Thanks for watching Eddie and glad that it helped

Awesome piece bro....I also fabricate but I must say I could never do content on internet because I could never put up with all the ignorant people asking stupid questions...common sense aint so common lol....Cheers!
Hahaha, I hear ya. Thanks for checking out the video
Wow. Just wow
Thanks K :)
That's so cool!! It came out great. Well done Doug.
Jack Spears III thanks Jack, yeah I'm pleased with the results👍
Absolutely spectacular! You did a beautiful job ❤️ and it's exactly what I had in mind to attempt myself! I'm so excited 😊 ...also i think you did a perfect job explaining the process in order for someone to tackle this project without the extra unnecessary rambling of common sense particulars lol....that drives me nuts! Haha.
Cool thank you very much
Damn, you gave me a lot of 💡. I'd piss my community off if I started doing something like this.
But I'm sur they'd love the end result
Amazing, youve got some mad skills
Thank you! Cheers!
Beautiful design ❤
thank you very much
Love it.....I would really like to have something like this in black or white outside my house in the courtyard.....would put some lights on it, and at Christmas, the laser lights on it would look amazing....
Wow that be very cool looking for sure!
@@ArtfullyRogue you interested in donating a piece? Lol
If I had an extra one laying around the shop and if it was for a good cause :)
That looks amazing I love it❤️🙂
I'm glad you like it Thank you
Wow really nice project!
Fabulous!!!! Great job 👍
Thank you! 😊
Looks awesome. Nice work.
Thanks Pops!
Very inspirational project,turned out great!
Mark Scaife thanks Mark greatly appreciated
You sir are a genius!!
Haha, I don't know about genius, but thanks so much for watching
I’d love to try making one of these out of pvc finished with wood framing. Probably just using a big plastic watering trough to hold water with a circulating pump inside. I think if you put it in a hole at ground level and then layered some rocks on top it would look pretty awesome. 🤔
450rmack that's pretty how this one is set up minus the wood framing. I have a plastic water trough under the rocks with a fountain pump moving the water up to the top of the water feature 👍
Thank you for sharing
My pleasure
Doug. I’m about to build one too. What kind of pump do you think I’ll need for a 6’ lift?
Great work.This piece came out looking really nice and I really enjoyed watching the video.
TandaMadison thanks Tanda😀👍
Looks slick 👌
Thanks! Greatly appreciated!
Well done.
Badass man!
Thanks a ton!
That’s awesome! Thank you for sharing your talent!
Thanks Gary
Thank you for this, I'm making one and the only difference is I will have a rectangular tubing (Water tank) that will fill up with water and gravity feed down.
Wow thats sounds very cool!
send me the link to the video after you build it....or tag me here
@@coqueto45 Here is the link. czcams.com/video/y6ROoN7oBD0/video.html
Super kool!
Thanks Sherry, greatly appreciated!
Another great job. Oh love the dollar glasses for shop work I use them also. Lol
Good job
Thanks! This was the first one so it's been streamlined a bit since then
How do you look after this I winter? We are had one installed in summer.
What size are the concrete footings?
Hello Mike, I actually made these 12" x 12"
Beautiful
Thank you! Cheers!
That's awesome
Thanks Jav!
Phenomenal Doug!!
Scott Turner thanks Scott 😀👍
You Sir are most welcome!
That's really cool. 😎
Thanks Robert!!
Amazing 😉 love it!! Want 1!
Thanks...I really enjoy making them
How did you get your water to stay in tote in the ground without it seeping over
I used an evaporative cooler float valve. it turns the water off once it reaches the desired level and back on whe it runs low
very nice!
Thanks Crispy!
Excellent video! In my area it is very windy. What if I would run fishing strings so that the water would have a better direction. Would that work?
I know a couple clients that have done that however I'm not sure what process they used of how well they handle the wind
Sorry I am bit confused, the pump on the video looks like a cube and was not good enough? is that the Jebao WP3500?
the one under your link on the description is the right one? it comes in 3 sizes 1200, 2000 and 3600
thank you in advance for the clarification
I upgraded since the video. Get the 1200 got in the link. That's what I'm currently using
What kind of irrigation fittings are those?
The kind I stopped using after about 6 months. I actually went to a threaded nozzle that wouldn't move around. There's another video that shows the modification that I made. And you can get the nozzles online from Glennco Fittings part #011307
I live in Louisiana I want a water curtain like yours. Do you sell them in a kit
Hello there, yes I do sell them. Either on my website Artfully Rogue or in my Etsy store also called Artfully Rogue
Thoughts on this? How about using a spot welder and placing a backing strip behind each seam to facilitate the spot welder? Might add to the industrial/art look and would make strong, easy welds with no burn through worries.
Hi this is amazing.. what are the irrigation plugs you use please?
Well I've actually stopped using the irrigation plugs and started using nylon nozzles. Check out the modification video I have. And those nozzles can be bought online fromm Glennco Fittings part#011307
It’s lovely ❤️.
Thank you very much Renee
Nice art piece man!! Hopefully theres no wind. If that wind starts kickin up its gonna mess up that curtain.
and we do get windy here. It does throw off the look however it doesn't last too long
Well that’s good
Forget the fountain. Look at those wings!
Thank you very much
Excellent job as usual, some years back, we did a similar feature with chains hanging down from the lintel, iirc, you can sort of "tune" the volume of the "waterfall". It was for a small garden of house that was near a motorway (freeway?) and the water sound cancelled out the tyre noise, I think it worked -it was a few years back tho so can't recall, but anyway, thought I'd mention it in case its of use to somebody.
Jaques Daniels that sounds interesting! I like the idea of making sound that creates different tones from the water hitting an object. If you have a picture that'd be cool to see it 👍😀
It was some years back before digital cameras, but if you imagine an arch like yours, with chains (heavy ones that won't get blown about in the wind) under each irrigation fitting, I think the chains were different lengths, ie, the water runs down the chain, then depending on the length of the chain, the drop to the water in the catch makes the sound.I think it might have been designed by this lady www.amazon.com/Ground-Force-Water-Garden-Workbook/dp/0563551135, not sure, note- this book is for gardens in the UK, and some of em are postage stamp size, the trunk of some older American cars are bigger than UK "back gardens". So beware if investing in the book.The end result was a kind of hissing noise rather than a p-----g noise LOL, I tried a few google searches but could not find anything like it, sorry.Incidentally, heavy chains were used instead of down pipes for rainwater at one time.I'll keep looking.
Your tank is surrounded by earth. If you install a catch basin, about 6ft. x 6ft., then your splash trickles through the rocks, hits the basin, and drains to the tank, and you conserve a little water, while cutting out the natural consequences of earth, and water, weed germination growing up through the rocks and becoming unsightly.
Weeds will still hit the basin, get water and grow, but without well anchored roots, they are easier to remove.
MarkH10 there's actually a vinyl liner under the rocks that drains back towards the catch basin. Before I installed the liner, I was losing a lot of water in the surrounding earth
Artfully Rogue I would expect much loss without it. I didn't see it, and I paid attention to it all, I like this feature very much.
Excellent build! I plan to put a water curtain under my deck, between 2 of the vertical posts. Any idea how often this has to be refilled? I would guess lots of evaporation with a curtain style fountain, but probably less than normal evaporation from the tank since it's covered. And how to measure water height after it's all covered up to make sure it doesn't get too low? I don't want to run a water line with an auto-fill valve. Just top off as needed. Experiences or opinions, anyone?
Evaporation really depends on your area. Here in Arizona, water evaporates at a fast rate so the auto fill nice. In more humid areas, it may not be as fast. I suppose one method to check level is to use a clear tube that extends up so you can see it and put something in the tube that floats so you can see if it gets lower. They use a method like this in Mexico to refill water tanks. Usually several ping pong balls on top of each other in the tube until you can see them, if that makes sense
@@ArtfullyRogue love that idea, thanks!
That’s nice 👍🏾👍🏾
Thanks Reynard
Love it
Thanks Zule
nice job! Nature does not have many right angles
Thanks Bill, so true
I bought a 2 inch rain pvc pipe is that to big to get enough water pressure
That really depends on the size pump that you're using
10×12ki dewar pe water fall lgane me konsa pamp lgega
Have question for you BTW very impressive work and I got inspired to do similar water future
I wanted to go ahead and buy square tubbing from local recyclable still supplier
Are there disadvantage of buying say 8x8” steel tubing in say 1/16 or bit thicker square tubbing , cutting them and later welding ?
If I took this route than how would I install the copper pipe ? Perhaps running inside the vertical tubing ?
Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thank you !
Personally I've not seen steel tubing that is 8"×8"×1/16" which is why I chose to go with having the steel yard bend 20g sheet steel into channel. It also makes it easy to add the plumbing with one open side. It also helps with any maintenance, I can easily remove a panel to gain access.
@@ArtfullyRogue how did you attach the inside panels for access later to do maintenance?
I'm in phoenix
I can't find hollow irrigation plugs. Can you help me with a brand name or style? All the ones I find are solid throughout. Also, how do you minimize splashing and water loss where the water hits the bottom? Thanks. Great video.
Hi Alexandra, there's a company called Glennco Fittings they have a hollow threaded nozzle.Search part # 10307
Sweet!
Thanks Gary
Looks awesome thanks for sharing!
That's bad ass
Thanks Kyle!
Hey Doug, thanks for the valuable information. I would like to buy one customized for me. 8ft in length. But i wanted more nozzles. Is that possible to make if for me. If so, may i know how to contact you?thanks
Sorry for missing your message. For what its worth, yes we can customize and add more nozzles
that's really cool -
Shogun-Jimi thanks, it was a fun build👍
do you know the size / gallons on the the tank you use? Also, what it the rule for the gallon storage needed? thanks and great content
Hello Gary, I think for the water feature in the video I used a 20 gallon tank. If there's a rule, I'm not aware of it. I would say use whatever submerges the pump and flows through the plumbing lines and add a gallon or two more to deal with evaporation. If you're looking for something more detailed, contact the guys at Graystone Creations, I buy my pumps from them and they are a wealth of information
Difficulty level ?? Time needed approximately in hours ?
Thats a good question. And not an easy one to answer. For me, I can knock one out in two days once I have all of the materials I need. For someone else it might take a week or so. You'll need basic welding skills for sure
@@ArtfullyRogue Thanks. How expensive the materials can be? Any store u specifically suggest ?
Awesome job!!!!! Unfortunately I don't know welding but I'm interested in doing a water spillway with an opening like this water feature. Did you or do you have any knowledge on making a water feature like this?
I haven't made a water spillway before although its something I've wanted to try
did you seal it so it doesn't rust further ?
This particular one was not sealed per the customers request however I do seal some of them with a spray in lacquer
Would be cool to mount a roll of LEDs in the top to light up the water
Vernon Whitehead Jr great idea! I might have to try that sometime 👍😀
Hey! Nice water wall! I wonder do u know how to make it look like a continues water curtain instead of separate jets? Thanks a lot.
Thanks for posting this up. It's an awesome design. I see you post up two pump suggestions: Jebao WP-3500 & EXTRAUP 2100GPH....which would you currently recommend for an 8' high version? Thanks.....
Hi Jay, I've actually been experimenting with a different pump which is direct drive. I recently used a 2750 gph with an 1.5" pvc supply line to the rain curtain which I also did with 1.5" pvc. It was strong and so I installed an inline valve to reduce pressure. Graystone Creations is the website and the pump is called EasyPro. I'll propably step the pump size down to the 1850 gph for my next fountain. I would recommend the 1850gph for the 8' fountain.
I love it. I am from Germany and won’t to build it on my one.
Can I ask you what strength is the sheet?1,5mm in Germany?
Yesterday I ordert the Nossel 10/32 Tap.Thanks a lot
I use a 20 gauge sheet steel which I believe is close to 1mm. I would go a bit thicker but the company were I purchase my steel can only bend the 20 gauge without distorting the shape
Nice
Thanks John!
Fantastic looks about 6 feet high and 4 feet wide do you think it would be possible to build one 8 feet high and 10 feet wide?
Hello Anna, this one is 7' tall by 42" wide. I've actually built one that is 8' tall by 10' wide and shipped it to a client in California
Nice! Do you have a contact? We would really love to build a solar powered rain curtain. Send your email if you can. Thanks!
@@teacherzzzz rogueartist@artfullyrogue.com
I am building one this weekend, just curious what irrigation plugs you used, as I can’t seem to find any that aren’t a mist, or a 360 degree spray. Thanks for the inspirational video!
Tyler Vest check out my other video call water feature modification. I found a better method
Perfect! Thank you!
If you don't want to use acid use a good degreaser and rub raw potatoes cut in half on the metal this will flash rust very quickly
Cool, I'll to check that out
Plz let me know hole size We get irriggation plug 4mm what was your pipe holes Plz let me know bro I really like your work even I started to make fountain
I use a 5/32" drill bit with a 10-32 tap size for the nozzles I use
@@ArtfullyRogue thanks a lot bro Just brought led light pipe and other meterial hope o do my best God bless u bro
can i use wood instead of metal?
Sure, several people have built the structure with wood and it looks great
I ordered your nozzles and would like to know what size pump i would need for a 9' tall 40 nozzle curtain ? Thanks for the video !
Hi Chris, thanks for the order. When I get back in my shop tomorrow I'll get the pump size for you
Sorry for the delayed response on pump size. I purchased from Amazon, Jebao WP-3500 If remember, it had a 13-15' lift
👍👍👍👍 really cool!!
2 years on how is it holding up?
This particular water feature had some issues due in part to the quality of water being used. It had a high calcium content and despite several attempts at recommending a water softener in the system, parts of the columns are rusting at an accelerated pace. I've not had any issues with any of the others I've and shipped out though.
So, for the price of a fairly good used car @ $3350, anyone can have this monster gateway to another dimension in their yard. I really hope he sells a lot of them.
haha surprisingly I've sold several of these....I know I was surprised.
Everything is negotiable. Also, he is telling you how to do it for free with your time and money. Your right that sounds fair to me.
Bravo! cuple questions if I may ask?
What size pump did you end up needing/getting?
Im assuming the water flows through the copper pipe and drops through the holes, is there any min. amount of pressure needed or anything like that, so that the holes on the end get the same amount of water and pressure as thee 1st? Feel free to tell me im over thinking this, haha.
Great work and video.
I ended up buying a pump with a 13' lift from Amazon, Jebao WP-3500. That size pump easily pushed the water up 7; and across the 36" span that I had for the fountain.
wow
Thanks Leslie :)
Cool ...i can see kids running through it ;-p
Eye Toldyoosso right! I thought the same thing when I turned it on the first time 👍
I can see me running through it.
TandaMadison I could also as I watched. I would live this out on a homestead as my shower space outdoirs.
kick ass, bro. curious: where do you buy the muriatic acid?
tim sway anywhere that sells pool supplies, home depot, Wal-Mart etc. Yeah I love how quick it reacts
pool supplies. check! I have some patina compounds I bought but I wanted to try that.
How much ?
Hi there Grant, cost varies by size. My website list all prices and available options. Www.artfullyrogue.com
