Ruud’s tips for others
"Know what you're getting into. It seems simple, but precise measurement is absolutely essential so everything fits seamlessly and connects with all required joints. The waterfall is additionally reinforced with screws to achieve a strong construction needed for the water force. It’s a great project if you’re willing to make the time for it."
