How to Build Patio Waterfalls
How to Build Patio WaterfallsAuthor: Sarah MartinIf you like the look of patio waterfalls but find that the readymade ones are too expensive for your budget, you can easily make one of these garden features yourself. To make the waterfall look more authentic use rock as the base material. In every garden rocks are readily available and thus won't cost you any money at all. In fact if you are landscaping and have too many rocks you can save money by building a garden water feature (http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no=2922) instead of having to pay to have the rocks taken away. Along with making sure you have enough rocks for the patio waterfalls you want to build, you do need to buy a pump to recirculate the water from the pond to the waterfall and have it come back to the pond again. You can design your waterfall in whatever size and shape you wish to make an emphatic statement, but the main factor that you have to take into consideration is how high you want this waterfall to be. You can take advantage of a sloping area to create large waterfalls (http://www.garden-fountains.com/Detail.bok?no=97) or erect a beam behind it to make an artificial slope. You do need to purchase the building material and a liner that is flexible enough to channel the water from the pool you create so that it will cascade the water down the waterfall. You then need to place the boulders on top of this liner to hold them in place. You may choose to have the water spill dramatically over the rocks in the patio waterfalls you create or you may want to just have the water flow gently.

Edenpure Portable Heater: Likes And DislikesEdenpure Portable Heater: Likes And DislikesAuthor: Sam StreubelBefore I tell you what's not to like about the Edenpure quartz infrared heater, I'd like to spend a minute telling you what I do like, and explain how it works. How the EdenPure Works At the heart of these infrared heaters are the quartz bulbs. Similar to incandescent lamps, quartz bulbs are formed by enclosing a tungsten resistance wire within a high purity quartz sheath. They provide even, non drying floor to ceiling heat and, according to the manufacturer, reduce positive ions in the atmosphere responsible for many respiratory problems. The bulbs are rated to last 5 - 7,000 hours, or 3 - 5 years, and cost around $10 each to replace. |
