How to make a DIY recirculating fountain out of a pot

This is a project I did for my home a few years ago.  I love the sound of water and I wanted to create a fountain so I could hear the sound of falling water in my home! I added a colorful pot and create a recirculating fountain to our home.

This is a  recirculating fountain idea that is easy to create AND really cost efficient!!

I saw  a great tutorial on The Hip House Girl a few years ago and was inspired to create a DIY fountain you can make with a pot!

You can put it in your front yard, patio or side yard!!

It took a few revisions but it turned out to be an amazing project for our yard and one that would work for ANY home!

Here’s what you do to create a DIY Recirculating Fountain:

  • Dig a hole to bury a 5-gallon bucket in your yard.

  • Cut aluminum L-brackets  to fit over the bucket (these will carry the weight of your pot and water for the fountain).

  • Use wire cutters to make a square of wire mesh material to fit over the pot with a hole in the middle for the pump hose to go through. I also covered the mesh with some smaller window screen material to keep debris from falling inside of the bucket.

  • Put the pump on the bottom of the bucket. I rested the pump on a plastic tupperware container filled with rocks. This keeps the debris that is collected at the bottom of the pot from getting in the pump.

  • Run the tubing up through the mesh and through the ceramic pot above and attach it to the Nozzle kit to the top. Use rocks to hold the tubing in place at the bottom of the pot. I also ran the tubing through a length of PVC pipe to keep it straight. I painted the PVC pipe black to match the tubing. More details on this in the printable sketch.

  • I had to experiment to find the right kind of caulk to use for this project. You need silicone caulk that is made to withstand water. Apply the caulk and allow it to dry according to the directions before you get it wet.

  • Then add water, add power and you are ready to go!!

A quick weekend project for YOUR home!

Be sure to see The Hip House Girl for her tutorial. And, Lowe’s also has a great tutorial on how to make a fountain with a pot on their Creative ideas website. This is a quick, weekend project that can bring you so much satisfaction! It’s perfect for a backyard project too!

  1. Thomas Ortiz says

    This post is one of my great finds this week! Thank you, Thomas Ortiz. You’ve done an amazing job for me and the people who count on our favorite vapormax. Can you please create another more comprehensive resource on RECIRCULATING? I would be very delighted.

  2. Caden Dahl says

    I love the final outcome of your guys’ fountain! It does seem pretty easy to do so I might see about doing that come next year or even have it as a winter project. Now what I might do is buy some and make some, that way I would have a good variety of fountains in my yard. I do like how you outlined the whole process and provided pictures with each step along the way.

  3. Jill says

    Love, love, love! I do have a question though …. Any idea where I can find the outdoor lights?? I have them in my yard and a few need replaced. Thanks!!

  5. Parker says

    Thanks. Im actually thinking about using your concept but building it on a larger scale for fountain to go into my pond.

  6. Pat says

    Love this idea…. just what I’m looking for! What size pump did you buy, and could you give me the approximate cost of the total project? Like you, I don’t want something really expensive, and I do want something recirculating, as water is very expensive here.

    They feature several types of additional
    bonuses in order to construct their enterprise, along with while doing so prize new
    clients, and also existing versions, along with money benefits to enable them
    to always perform the particular video games that they get pleasure from.
    Nevertheless, similar to every other video game, you can find twenty factors gamers should know in
    relation to on the internet bingo.

  10. Stacie S-H says

    The dwarf fruit trees are perfect for the size ‘yard’ I have, if you can ever call it that. Basically a strip of dirt under our downstairs window where I’m able to plant a few things.

  17. Ashley says

    My favorite is the video tutorial on decorating with magnetic paint. I have a feeling I might go a little crazy in my house now making everything magnetic. 😉

  20. Lindsey says

    I loved the how to build a tent. I need to make something like that for my little bambino. Thanks for the giveaway!

  26. Leslie says

    As someone with a teeny balcony mostly taken up by a BBQ (I love grilling year-round, even in snow!), I checked out the Lowe’s indoor ideas, and I really like their “geranium stencils”. It hadn’t occurred to me to add some colour to the canvas boxes on my bookshelf like that!

  27. MollyP says

    Thanks for the tute! My husband wants to add a fountain to our flower bed and this is perfect. I visit the Lowe’s Creative Ideas site often. The inspiration is outstanding! My current fav idea is the Cinch bench. I’ve been jonesing for an outdoor bench for a while now. Thanks!

  28. Mary Matheson says

    We love fountains! Checked out the do it yourself tents on the Lowe’s website. Pretty cool.
    Mary M.

  30. Carmen says

    I love their weekend project ideas – like “Build a Child’s Kitchen Playset”

  32. AnneSATX says

    Wow, I had no idea Lowes had so many neat projects posted online! I looked only quickly but one project that caught my eye was the geranium-stencilled storage boxes. I love geraniums and this project looks so bright and cheerful — and easy!

  36. Jessica Williams says

    I learned how to make wired trellis towers. This will come in so handy with my “up and coming” garden. I can really use this gift card. We need a front door so bad, but can’t afford it. Thanks for the opportunity!!

  39. Lori says

    I really love the ladder shelf. That is definitely a project that we want to try this summer! Great ideas.

  44. Barbara Scaff says

    I liked the video on how to install a ceiling fan, since that is our current memorial day weekend project.

  45. Jessica T says

    Thanks for the opportunity to win! I like your fountain… and like everyone else, I like the hypertufa pots on the lowe’s website. Though I wish they had a video tutorial on how to wash and scrape a porch ceiling without covering yourself in toxic chemicals, i.e., TSP and bleach.

  59. JEN C says

    I love Lowe’s Creative Ideas! Just watched a video for how to change out a kitchen faucet. Much easier than I thought it would be.

  60. Randi Shrank says

    I have been looking at ladder shelves for a while now and found them rather expensive. Now I know I can make my own thanks to Lowe’s creative ideas site!

  62. Laura J says

    Oh, I love Lowes creative ideas! I would make first the DIY Lemonade Stand! My kids would love it!!!

  69. kimmipeach says

    I am soooo doing this this weekend! Sounds like you’ve covered all the bases on this DIY fountain. I posted this link on Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, and G+.

  71. Mallory says

    I LOVE the deck update on the Lowes site, I receive their Creative Ideas catalog and have been thinking how to implement it into my yard, this gift card would help!!

  72. Kristin says

    I love this tutorial!! Great idea, and so easy. Thanks for sharing. I like the build it yourself tent on the Lowes Creative Idea Site.

    I would love love LOVE a Lowe’s gift card to help get the yard ready for summer!!!

  73. June says

  74. Cheryl says

    Love, love, love this!! Can’t wait to try!! Shared on facebook! Gotta try the hypertufa pots on Lowe’s website!! My poor hubby…

  78. molly says

  81. Lesa Palmer says

    I really like the hypertufa pots on the Lowes site and am going to give them a try! I shared on Facebook.

  83. Brooke says

    Thank you for the chance to win this giveaway! I added the bright school desk to my TODO list for the summer. My son is starting preschool in the fall so he “needs” it right?

  84. Stephanie Hall says

    I checked out the creative ideas…just what the motivation I needed! My son has been begging for a “new room” and the kids room ideas gave me some simple ideas to get started on…maybe an art station will keep him from coloring with crayons on his wall!

  85. Connie Cleveland says

    Wow!! This looks like I could do this alone!! Yippee!! I loved loved loved the drop cloth tent! Looks like lots of fun for grandchildren. I shared on Facebook

  87. Dona says

    I think the Color Block wall art is so simple yet perfect for a blank wall in my house!!

  91. Lindsey says

    I checked out the Lowe’s site. I like that they give garden tips for each region.

  99. Cassie says

    I really like the ladder shelf idea they have on their website! I LOVE what you did with your yard, the fountain adds so much!!! I’d love to put a fountain in our back yard!

  106. Jill L says

    I love the Do-It-Yourself Folding Stool. That would be a lot of fun for my husband to do with the kids.

  108. Candace T says

    OMG…. I am stunned at all of the wonderful things that you can make. I had no idea Lowe’s had some many great projects!!!!

  109. Mary Erickson says

    I LOVE the stenciled lampshade idea on Lowe’s website!! MIght have to try that. GREAT job with the fountain. It’sl ike your own little oasis. 🙂

  110. Ruth says

    I liked the Garden Level Lounge on the Lowe’s Creative website. It’s a good use of space for a level under the deck. Love the idea of adding curtains.

  117. Julia says

    I love the kids car wash idea and I know my kids would love it too! I shared it on Google+

  118. Janet says

    Love the window box ideas, but it’s hard not to choose any of the other outdoor projects this time of year.

  119. TX JennyWren says

    Wow so many fun projects to do!! I want to do something in my backyard right off my bedroom door to the outside…some pavers in a pretty pattern to put my chair and table there.

  122. Kim G. says

    I receive this magazine and always love their ideas. I love the new concrete planters you can make yourself.

  127. Camille says

    I love the Easy to make frames using PVC board! What a cool vase! I love your fountain! I’m going to try to talk my husband into making it this weekend! Wish me luck! haha

  128. Nancy B says

    I like the Wire Trellis Towers. It would look so cute in my vegetable garden

  129. Jenny Brown says

    I have been trying to post a comment but keep getting an error message, so I don’t know if my other ones have gone through. Here’s another try:

    I love this fountain. I really want hubby to build this! I shared this post on Facebook, Twitter, Stumble Upon, and email. The thing I like the most on the Lowe’s site was the rope swing and the backsplash. I want to put up a backsplash in my kitchen so bad! 🙂

    Thanks!

  130. April was in CT now CA says

    This is awesome! Wish I had an area near our one outdoor outlet to do this because I’d be installing it this weekend! I love the ultimate craft room makeover on their site. I’d love to have a dedicated craft room.

  138. Keriann says

    So excited for this giveaway! I love the fountain! I went out and potted the perfect place for one in my yard! I think I want to make the Storage Chest on the lowes site for my boys room. Its perfect for toy storage!

  140. Colleen says

    The woven headboard is stunning! I also think that the drop cloth tent looks like fun.

    • Madison L says

      Forgot to post what I liked on their site! I love the deck update designs!

  145. ann casey says

    I am really impressed with the deck make-over that added so much privacy. Houses are so often close together and you feel as if you are participating in each other’s conversations – this affords some nice space! The fountain i pretty neat also!

  156. Alexis Moore says

    My fave project is the Stitched Lampshade and the Ladder Shelf.

    This Fountain is going to be my weekend project. 🙂

  158. Pam @ diy Design Fanatic says

    Thanks for the tutorial ~ I need to make one of these so my cat will drink more water. (He loves running water and will drink more if it’s available) Your fountain is beautiful and I love the blue ceramic pot. I shared on Facebook and would love to win a Lowe’s gift card. I’m there at least twice a week!

  159. Jean Stringfelllow says

    That little area looks great with the fountain and the new stepping stones. Good job! Is your fountain going in the back?

  160. Kaylee Nelson says

    I love the DIY backyard tent. I think it is perfect for a summer afternoon/evening activity. I shared this on twitter and facebook. Thanks for the giveaway. Awesome ideas on your site 🙂

  165. Alecia says

    I really love the car wash for the kids. My kids love water and that would be a fun summer activity for them to have!

  168. Jackie says

    Love, Love, LOVE the water feature!!! I just inherited a cast iron caldrun and is hoping to make a water feature out of that – I see a trip to Lowe’s in my future!

  169. Janet says

    Your fountain looks so nice!!! One of my favorite projects I saw at Lowe’s creative ideas was the ladder shelf. There are so many ways that you could use it. Thanks for the giveaway Jen, I could get a lot of DIY projects done with $100 at Lowes!

  170. Sarita says

    Love h hypertuf pots at Lowes site. And love your our train!
    Thnk you for chance to win lowes gift card.

  173. Kate says

    I just loved the Tiki Planter. I don’t have the DIY gene so I love anything simple and easy.

  175. Rebecca Cash says

    enjoy all of it…but the water projects are my favorite, plan on incorporating one in my landscape

  177. laura windham says

    I posted to interest and found the deck and lemonade stand ideas from lowest something I could put to use. Great water feature tutorial.

  179. Candice Wise says

    I would like to make the wire trellis towers for my tomatoes…much better than the wood stake Im currently using:-)

  180. Betsy K says

    Loved the wire trellis towers! I would also love the gift card b/c the pump on my water-scape quit working, and I am sad!

  181. Leslie says

    I love this DIY fountain idea. It would be fun to put in our garden. I also like the stained concrete tutorial on the lowes site.

  191. Christina says

    I love this and can’t believe how easy it is. I shared with all my FB friends!

  195. DeAnna says

    I love the tent for my grandson but, have to pick the desert gardening..I can’t get nothing to grow and love the look of this..

  197. Lori says

    I love all their inspiration pictures and amazing tutorials! The kitchen cabinet organization one looks great.

  203. Connie Haack says

    I like the water Feature! We had a large water feature in our yard but took it out due to the amount of time it took to maintain it. I think we can handle this size. The Stars and Stripes Shutter project is one I really like on the Lowes Creative website. I have shutters and will be starting this project this coming weekend.!

  204. Connie Haack says

    I like your water feature. We had a large water feature in our yard but took it out due to the time it took to maintain it. This size we could handle! I like the Stars and Stripes Shutter. I already have the shutters and think I will start this project this coming weekend. Love Lowes Creative Site and I love Yours too.

  205. Shirley says

    I love all the projects for outside, I love to sit out in the evening it is so peaceful, it would be perfect if I had a water feature!

  207. christina says

    I love the lowes creative idea website! My favorite so far is the stitched lampshade. What a great way to “up-do” a cheap plain shade.

  210. LD says

    Thank you for the great pattern for out door water fountains. I have one in my front yard. I used a faux grey-taupe pot , a friend from my husband’s work welded the copper fountain where the water comes out and into the pot. Our neighbor had one and she let me copy the design from hers. We made ours a little different. We get cold weather here so if a person was to make your design they would have to get a frost /freeze ceramic pot. Costcos carries them here very reasonable. The only thing you would have to do is get a plumbers putty and plug drain hole.

    My pot ( resin) has no bottom hole, it has a design and looks nice, not cheap looking.

    My daughter just bought a new home and outside her formal lv rm window they put in one of those expensive rocks that water bubbles out and goes into a resevoir pan 🙂 The rock type I have always dreamed for my front yard. I could not believe it when she told me her and hubby moved it into the spot. they do heavy projects. Then the joke was on me , it was a faux rock fountain and it was so real you would never known even when you touch it. It was beautiful. I really lilke your design, thank you for sharing. You are going to make many readers very excited to make this project for their Curb Appeal 🙂

  212. doreen says

    I really like the ladder shelves. Thatwould be a fun project for me to try. Thanks for the giveaway opportunity. Lowe’s is our go-to-shop for many things!!

  216. Elizabeth H says

    I want one just like yours and I think I can do it. You have a great blog. Thanks.

  222. Michelle says

    I love the ladder shelf. I see those in home decor photos all the time and never even thought of them as a DIY project.

    Great tutorial for the fountain! Another project I would love to undertake but was too intimidated to try. This makes it much easier!

  224. Jessica P. says

    I’m loving everything in the Outdoor Spaces section! So much inspiration and motivation to get outside!

  229. Tracelia Karm says

    Love the ladder shelf, cute and useful. Also I pinned on pinterest, added on stumbleupon, tweeted on twitter, added on google, and shared on facebook.

  230. Erin says

    I love this idea! Hubby built me a similar one (though it doesn’t spill over the pot) several years back. It’s one of my favorite birthday gifts to date!

    I love gardening and think that the tips for texture on the Lowe’s site are just great! Oh how I’d love to win this gift card! 🙂

  231. Lindsay R says

    I love the stack-it-up table that you can make on the Lowes Creative Ideas site. I get the magazine at home and love to look at all of the creative ideas.

  234. Lynn G. says

    I think the folding chairs are really cute. They have some cute ideas!

    Lynn G.

  244. Danee says

    You picked a pretty pot as a base. I love the look the you got- a lot of look for not a lot of money. You will have to let us know if it stays clean or you have problems with algae. I love the relaxing sound of a fountain; should be a nice entrance to your home.

  245. Kathy Tremblay says

    I like the fold up tent and the wall garden. I pinned it and I shared on facebook. I think my husband is going to make it! yay!

  246. Shy says

    I am still hoping to make an outdoor chalkboard for my daughter, but haven’t finished buying the supplies!

  248. Felicia Woodward says

    I love the tiki torch planter – I need additional outdoor lighting and that would be perfect!

  249. Alayna says

    I love the front porch railing redo. I have been stuck on how to replace ours and the tutorial gave me tons of ideas to sort through.

  251. Diana says

    I love the water fountain and the swing. Thanks for the tutorial. I shared this on Facebook.

  253. Jessica Dougherty says

    On a recent episode of Junk Gypsies (airs on HGTV), I was so inspired to make some drapes using drop cloths. I was excited to discover the DIY Drop Cloth Projects on Lowe’s website!

  257. Sharon N says

    I love the yard swing that Lowe’s has on the cover of the latest Creative Ideas.

  259. Lindsay Kaeding says

    I love the really tall birdhouses on Lowes….must have them. I shared this post on pinterest!

  261. Rhonda says

    I love it Jen! I too love the sound of water and could use one outside! You make it seem so doable!
    My favorite thing at Lowe’s Creative Ideas is the deck planning. We are going to be building a deck soon…so that will help a lot. The $100.00 gift card would help too. 🙂

    Hope you have a wonderful week my sweet friend!!

  262. Amy L. says

    I love the DIY kids tent idea. My girls love playing outside & they would love a tent.

  268. Sallie Fitz says

    I like the corner bench seat and kitchen storage cart!! So many tips- great website!!

    I love the diy lemonade stand! Maybe it could even be transformed into a sand/water table! 🙂

  281. susie says

    Love, love, love the fountain. I would love to try this to add by my patio.

    I love the Drop Cloth Tent. My boys would love to have this in the woods in our backyard.

  282. Nicole H. says

    Wire Trellis Towers look fun, but I would like to make them in a different shape…not sure how it would work! Thanks for the giveaway!

  283. Esther T. says

    I love the hypertufa pots! Looks fairly easy AND inexpensive. Thanks Lowe’s for the giveaway!

  284. Kara says

    I love the ladder shelf. Maybe I can get my husband to make one for me? I’d really like to be the lucky winner of the Lowe’s card!

    I love your blog and always look forward to your newest update!
    Kara

  286. Ashley says

    Cool! I’ll have to add this to my list of things to do. I love the Lowe’s site and all their ideas! I need to make a trellis soon to get some shade, it’s getting hot here!

  289. Shonie says

    I love the hypertufa pots they made. Thanks for the chance to win! I’m going to make a few of these fountains so thanks for the tutorial.

  290. Jami says

    I love the DIY ladder shelf because I have been thinking about buying one for the kids’ bathroom. Maybe I could just make it??

  291. Kathryn Bodrero says

    I wish I had somewhere to build the gift-wrapping station. It would be soooo nice not to have to drag everything out from under the stairs!

  292. Kristen says

    Love the deck updates on lowes creative ideas…it makes me long for a deck!

  295. Allison C says

    I like all of their deck update ideas. Especially the Refresh a plain wooden deck with stain since they use two tones. Our deck on our new house could certainly use some refreshing!

  298. Kyra says

    I really appreciated the video on “How to Clean and Treat Your Wood Deck” – we desperately need to do this so it was really helpful!

  304. Carly Delise says

    I totally love those frosted candle chimneys and mirror table runner. That would be awesome for my new dining room

  307. Catey says

    I think building a few of those tents for my son and my nephew would mean hours of fun this summer.

  316. Amanda says

    I just received my Lowe’s Creative Idea Magazine in the mail last week and it’s hard to choose just one project, but I love the build-it-yourself tent. We’re fixing to host VBS at our church and it’s “park themed” so I think a couple tents would just be perfect. Thanks for the giveaway.

  317. Lisa says

    I love it! Fantastic job! Looking through the ideas on the website, I think the DIY Window Box wouldn’t be too hard.

  318. Nitika says

    Thanks to Lowe’s and you for the giveaway.

    I love the window boxes and the tent,and me and my kids are always ready to go to Lowe’s.

  319. Sally says

    Love the creative ideas magazine. Just got mine in the mail Saturday and haven’t had time to look at it yet. I enjoy the website too and they have an app i must download! I like their project ideas and the fact that they are rated beginner, intermediate, etc. Thanks for the giveaway chance.

  322. Kelli says

    Jen that is so fun! We could use something like that in our back yard. I love my patio, but it still feels like it’s missing something. My fav idea on the Lowe’s site is the Drop Cloth Tent! My boys would LOVE it!

  325. Rebecca says

    My favorite idea — as far as one I can actually use is to upgrade the patio using pavers.. that may actually be the next item on the outdoor to do list..

  336. Michelle says

    Love it! I pinned this idea and hope to make one myself. Thanks for sharing!

  348. Alanna says

    Wow, they have some AMAZING ideas. I am so going to do that deck pond – it will be a summer activity with my kids. thanks for letting us know about this

  349. Barbara from 21 Rosemary Lane says

    The Lemonade stand!!! I wanted one since I was a little girl. Maybe I like the idea of fulfilling a childhood wish!
    Your fountain looks wonderful! Thank you so much for the tutorial.
    Have a great week Jen!l

  350. Debbie Parrish says

    I love working in the yards,, I love the fountains too, it is a must do project for sure,, I am in Lowe’s about once a week, doing some kind of project inside and out.. right now we are doing our walkway to the back porch, so I sure could use a gift card. thanks so much and for all your ideas.

  355. Jennie P. says

    I love love love fountains. I really like the Standing Desk project from Lowe’s. I didn’t know they had such great projects there.

  356. Becky Greene says

    I love the color block doormat most of all! Thanks for the chance to win!

  357. Mary S says

    Love the ladder shelf! I have always wanted a water feature in my yard but didn’t want to spend the money. I may get one after all! Thanks for sharing!

  362. Monica says

    I love the fountain! My husband just made me a little fountain with stacked pots, it’s so cool! I checked out Lowe’s site and I loved their tutorial for installing under cabinet lighting, I think I want to do that!

  370. Bethany d. says

    I NEED to make one of those fountains! So cute. My favorite thing on Lowe’s Creative Ideas is the rainbow door mat. Love it!

  371. HollowSquirrel says

    Did my husband and boys put you up to this? Just this weekend I received the hard sell on an outdoor fountain, but I put the hammer down on it. But THIS pot/fountain I would approve of! It doesn’t steal too much space from our already small backyard and can be done quickly and with little investment. I love the pot!! Thanks for the idea!! I’d definitely use the gift card to buy the materials for that exact fountain!!!

    I think the DIY tent is so awesome! Especially with summer coming up! My kids are SUPER into camping and outdoor adventures. They EVEN camp inside haha! So, I know they’d love this! TY for the giveaway, I’m sharing thru email and FB, of course 🙂

    I love the Southeast Region Corner Garden Plan! I have the perfect corner for that! I love your new fountain, that would work in the corner garden too! 🙂

    love Lowe’s ideas, we have gotten a lot of inspiration from them. I think our next project might be the folding stools.

    OMG, you made this look zoo easy…I am saving this for what will be my son’s patio when he gets to that point in the remodeling phase. Thank you!

    Looks awesome! I love how you drew up the diagram in a much more readable format than my chicken scratch, haha. Let me know how it works over time… we actually found that the bucket started to buckle a bit under the weight so we had to do some readjusting. I love the sound they make… beautiful work!

      I loved your tutorial Amanda. I tried to find a metal bucket and couldn’t that was a great idea. Thanks for the tutorial!!!
