A self-made waterfall does not necessarily have to be made of concrete and stones. Alternatively, you can install easy-to-install, no-fuss stainless steel waterfalls that can be purchased in ready-made kits from any specialty store. With a little manual skill, these installations can also create themselves.
Stainless steel is modern and elegant
Advantages of a stainless steel waterfall
Stainless steel as a building material is primarily used in gardens of a modern style: the clear, structured lines and the futuristic design fits perfectly into garden landscapes with elegant, geometric lines, in which natural materials such as wood and stone are used as well as stainless steel and other metals. Such a design not only suits modernist houses, but can also be used in traditional architecture. But a waterfall made of stainless steel not only impresses with its appearance: it is also easy to install and extremely easy to care for. In contrast to concrete, for example, stainless steel is water-repellent and therefore does not need any additional protection against moisture - instead you can simply use the material pure.
Manifold variation possibilities
At the same time, stainless steel allows numerous variations: In addition to simple water walls, the material is also suitable for cascading waterfalls and tiered variations - for example, by stacking several stainless steel pools on top of each other so that the water gently ripples down. Incidentally, you can also clad stainless steel, for example with thin plates of natural stone. Provide the water wall with colorful LED lighting for very special lighting effects. In addition, objects made of stainless steel or other metal can be misused for the construction of a waterfall: For example, you can install several watering cans in such a way that the higher one always empties the water into the one below until the cool water finally flows into a pond or water basin pours.
tips
For the construction of a waterfall, choose preferably galvanized stainless steel, as this is better protected against corrosion.
