This is a gorgeous feature for your pond. It really adds a unique element to your landscaping. And it just isn’t for show it actually works.

Nice!!!!!!!

Beautiful work. However, the last photo with the ice really took my breath away! Great idea and execution!

This looks great. I’ve never seen something like this in a small pond but it’s a great idea. I’ve been thinking about making a pond and if I do, I’ll have something similar to what you have.

Great waterwheel. Too bad about the cold weather.

Thank you. I got my plans and idea from runnerduck.com . My wife gave me the idea for the trough. Runnerduck.com is a great site with free plans, only ask for donations.
