Step 5
Attach Liner to Waterfall
Bring the liner up to the face of the waterfall box and
check the positioning of the liner against the waterfall
box. Use the liner clips (included) to temporarily hold the
liner to the box. The liner should follow the contours of
the pond edge or stream and the face of the waterfall box.
It is a good idea to leave a little slack in the liner where it
transitions from the pond edge or stream to the face of
the waterfall box. This will ensure that the weight of the
rocks used in the waterfalls will not pull down on the liner
once it is attached to the waterfall box.
Kneel in front of the waterfall and have the following
within reach: cordless screwdriver, 5/16” nut driver bit,
waterfall weir (included), silicone (included), stainless steel
screws (included), black screw caps (included), utility knife
(with new blade), and a clean rag.
Kneeling in front of the waterfall box remove the liner
clips and fold the liner back toward you leaving it to rest
on your lap. Using the clean rag wipe down the face
of the waterfall box around the area where silicone will
be applied. Also clean the area on the liner that will be
coming in contact with the area you cleaned on the
waterfall box.
Apply a bead of silicone along the sides and bottom of the
opening on the face of the waterfall, keeping the silicone
bead centered the entire way.
Bring the liner back up into position against the face of
the waterfall. Hold the liner in place again with the liner
clips to help keep it from moving around as we prepare
to attach the waterfall weir. Gently run your ngers along
the liner over the area where you applied the silicone and
atten the bead out slightly. This will help ensure a more
even distribution of the silicone as we compress it when
we screw down the weir.
Bring the waterfall weir into position. Once in position
begin driving the stainless screws into place. Start with
the top left screw then the top right screw to hold the weir
in position. Continue driving screws into the remaining
pilot holes on the weir with your next screw going into
the middle hole on the weir.
