I’m thinking of making one out of barrel style planters for a decoration and giving it to my parents after the wedding.
They have a giant koi pond/garden/sanctuary in their back yard and I think a fountain would be a cool addition + it will be from my wedding and made by me so it will be sentimental.
How hard is this to do? How expensive? I was thinking something like this, but this one is $600

If you have the barrel already, you can just buy the pump kit at Home Depot or Lowe’s or garden centers.
Here are some examples on epimion:

@julies1949:
Do you happen to know how hard it is to make the cascade effect. Also should the pump go at the bottom or the top? I’ve heard it both ways.
I have two old wine barrels that I will be cutting in half to do this.
