But sometimes-especially the waterfall-shaped cliff requires a wide area. For you that have only a small area and small, do not be discouraged. There are ethnic Balinese-style waterfall, which is small, only about 2 m2.

Where placed?

Bali Waterfalls can be placed in the front garden or inside the house, or could also put “all alone” without the company of ornamental plants. If you want to put it in park, put it at the wall / side of an empty park to eliminate the impression of quiet on that side.

Waterfalls are usually equipped with a small pond in front. You can add ornamental fish or aquatic plants in order to look more natural. Water plants should be planted in pots and planted directly in the pond. This is to keep the pool water does not become turbid. Sprinkle a small coral also above the pot, to prevent soil by water soluble.

Air Circulation

Waterfalls are usually made using a rotating electric-powered water pumps. Pumps can be placed in ponds or hidden under a waterfall construction. That looks more beautiful of course, if the pump is hidden within the construction. However, if difficult to do so, the pump can also be hidden among the water plants.

In order for the fall of water looks more “beautiful”, some sellers find interesting ideas that could be imitated. One of them is by using the glass on the edge of each of the steps or by making a few holes in the pipe paralon above.

Create your own

So that the stones are not easily mossy, should be given a coating (coating), specialized natural stone. This coating consists of two types, namely a natural coating (texturized) and a shiny coating (polished).

There are two alternatives that can be done so that the water is always clear:
