You are JUST the person I want to talk to!

The Pondless Waterfall has been in the planning stages for me for about 3 years. This Spring is the Spring for me to get it done.

I am going to build mine in one of the front corners of of my greenhouse. I know how to construct the gravel chamber. My sticking point is, I want a DROP fall, not a cascading fall.

I want the water to come off and drop straight down from a height of about 6-8 feet. I like the look of your flat "lip stone" but I am not sure how I can construct it.

My plan is to use corkbark slabs, or a mixture of corkbark with some other substrate, perhaps just big stacked driftwood, to disguise the PVC plumbing as it rises. Large stones and river rock, shells, etc will be at the base. I suppose I could lay a lipstone across like a lintel (thinking Stonehenge here) for the water to spill over and drop from, like yours...if it was a lighter piece of flagstone it could be balanced up there and still hide the plumbing.

Do you have any suggestions for me?
