Your Guide to Corten Steel The Best Corten Steel Water Features What is Corten Steel & How Does it Work?

Sometimes you may not want to invest a lot into a waterfall, or not have a lot of space to work with in the first place. In that case, you may want to consider creating a waterfall with nothing more than some pipes and a water pump. Go with pipes for a more industrial look, or use old bathroom taps if you want a waterfall with an unusual design. Installing a vessel such as a vase or ceramic pot for water collection at the base of your waterfall will create a more sophisticated, refined look. 14. Waterfall from a Fence The cable length is 10m making it very versatile in where you want to locate it in comparison to alternatives. The LED ‘Ultra Bright’ lights are colour changing and fade slowly between purple, green, red and blue. There is no need to produce a water attachment as it is self contained, with only the occasional requirement for the water to be topped up. If you’re looking to buy a low maintenance option then this is the water feature for you. Like all the Corten Steel options, there is no need to paint or maintain it, the steel cares for itself. Garden waterfalls may be simplistic structures that are quite easy to build and install, but they can also get more creative and complicated in the blink of an eye. If you have a soft spot for art, you may want to incorporate a statue or a painting into your waterfall design. Statues work best for this purpose, but if you have set your sights on a particular picture or painting, you can figure out a way to use it in a waterfall design without ruining it. If you have no idea as to what your dream artsy waterfall would look like, you can visit your local home improvement store which may carry special statues with dedicated holes for water distribution. 16.
