Do you want to add a touch of elegance and relaxation to your garden, terrace, or outdoor space? A water wall is a spectacular solution that combines design, ambient sound, and freshness. At OTB Water Design, specialists in fountains and water features, we explain how to build your own outdoor water wall in a simple and professional way.
What is a Water Wall?
A water wall is a vertical structure where water cascades continuously, creating a soothing and sophisticated visual effect. It can be integrated into walls, pergolas, or as a standalone feature and operates with a recirculation system.
Advantages of a Water Wall:
✅ Relaxing visual and sound effect (ideal for gardens and terraces).
✅ Customizable (with LED lighting, different flow rates, and materials).
✅ Low maintenance (closed-loop recirculation system).
Materials Needed for a Water Wall:
✔️ Base structure: Stainless steel panel, tempered glass, or natural stone.
✔️ Water tank: A basin to collect the water.
✔️ Submersible pump: To recirculate the water (according to desired flow rate).
✔️ Pipes and valves: PVC or copper to direct the flow.
✔️ Filtration system: To prevent clogs (optional but recommended).
✔️ LED lighting (optional): For nighttime effects.
Step by step: building the Water Wall.
- Design & Planning
- Define size and location (ensure there’s a nearby power source).
- Choose panel material (glass, steel, or stone for different aesthetics).
- Tank Installation
-
- Dig or place a tank at the base to collect water.
- Ensure sufficient capacity to avoid splashing.
- Pump & Pipes Setup
-
- Install a submersible pump in the tank.
- Connect pipes to the top of the wall (can be hidden behind the panel).
- Water Panel Assembly
-
- Mount the panel (glass, metal, etc.) perfectly vertical.
- Ensure a uniform top edge for a smooth water curtain.
- Testing & Adjustments
-
- Turn on the pump and check for even water flow.
- Adjust flow rate with a regulator valve if needed.
- Finishing Touches (Optional)
-
- Add RGB LED lighting for nighttime effects.
- Incorporate decorative stones or plants for a natural look.
