Materials Needed
- 3 different sized planters (PVC or resin planters from your local home improvement store work great)

- Drill + drill bit (large enough for tubing and pump cord)
- Two-part epoxy putty (recommended for sealing holes)
- Pavers or bricks (for stacking support)
- Decorative rocks
How to Build a DIY Tiered Water Fountain
Step 1: Choose and Size Your Pots
Start by selecting three planters in graduated sizes. If you have a larger space (like a courtyard), using three pots instead of two creates better visual impact and scale.
Step 2: Drill Holes for Pump and Tubing
- Drill a hole in the bottom pot large enough for the pump plug to pass through
- Drill holes near the base of the upper pots for the tubing
