Hi Linda, I am so into making this wonderfull tabletop waterfall. It is truly beautiful. Have you found the directions yet? You are so resourceful! Thank you!~ Susan
Hi, Kathy! Elayne uses a cement basin for the water and pump but it could be any sort of tub. She perforated copper tubing and ran it around the edges and inserted tubing from the pump to it!
Hi, Becky! Elayne has a cement tub underneath for the pump and water but you could use a pond basin or anything else. She ran a tube from the pump to copper tubing that she perforated.
Hi, Stacy! Elayne has a cement basin underneath for the water and pump. You could use a tub or a pond basin. She perforated copper conduit and ran a tube from the pump into it. I’m not sure how they glued it to the table but recently I heard about JB Weld (a sort of epoxy, as I understand) that you can get at hardware suppliers. Please let us know how your project works!
I’m not sure how she mounts it to stand up. I’ll ask. The copper tubing is perforated and run around the top. A basin underneath holds the water and pump and a tube goes from the pump to the tube. Neat!
Hi thanks for the information.. I have a tabletop like that, would like to do this. If you could find out how she has it secured.. I’d love that.. and do you think it would hold up in my Chicago climate?? thanks
Hi, Patricia, I certainly will As for Chicago, can you leave glass tabletops outside? Most likely you’d have to empty the copper tubing and basin in winter like you do with other fountains, I presume?

Love the table waterfall! How does she keep it standing up? Is the copper tubing made into straight “posts” at the bottom and dug in??
thank you!!
