Multi slate feature You may have seen them around, a stacked collection of slate or similar material, with water running down the slate, how is it done? You will need to make or buy a sump. Assuming you make a sump (More info on sumps is here) the slate or other layered material will sit on a grille. Since this feature is slate, and slate is heavy you must make sure the grill can support the weight. You can of course use lightweight mesh, BUT you must put supports under where the slate is going to go in order to take the weight, the supports should also be stable and NEVER made from timber, as it will work initially then over time rot and collapse. Which pump? You need a pump that will pump water to just over the height of the outlet. You can see more information on the page here Ideally the pump will be offset and connected via a hose with the slate supported. This means you then have easy access to the pump. But this limited by the sump size.
