Measure your space and dig a four by four foot hole.
The hole should be flat on the bottom, so tamp it down to stabilize.
Step 3:
Line it with a geotextile fabric, then with an LDPE pond liner.
Leave it loose on the bottom so it doesnt get pinched, then place rocks on the edges.
Step 4:
Fill the bottom with a layer of pea pebbles.
Next, place the pavers to create a flat and stable surface on the bottom.
Use geotextile fabric around thee edges to protect the liner.
Step 5:
Place the planters inside to get an idea how you want to arrange them.
Remove them and start placing the cinder blocks.
Start with two blocks on the bottom then make a space in between them for the tubing.
Put additional set on top.
Continue adding blocks until you fill the majority of the hole.
Place the blocks on the bottom sideways to connect them for waterflow.
For the top blocks, place them facing up to allow the water to enter the basin.
Step 6:
Make a frame using the pressure treated spindles.
Pull the excess liner and fabric up around the frame using stainless steel staples.
Staple the galvanized mesh in place.
Step 7:
Cut a hole in the center to account for the pumps tubing.
Then place the planter pots above the boulder and add withered wood.
Arrange them however you want to.
Now you have the arrangement.
Put one on barbed house fitting as well.

Secure a PVC pipe to the inside and outside coupling.
Step 9:
Make spillways for each container.
