The $20 Fountain


This barrel pond is a 20 gallon black poly storage bucket purchased on sale for $3.97.
Buried 18" and left above ground 18" then trimmed out with rocks from rock hunting adventures.

I added a grate across the top of the tote and drilled a 5/8" hole through the middle of my BB with a concrete drill. This BB was all plastic instead of concrete, Perfect! Covered the grate with river rock and added my rock trim back onto the edge.
