How did your water jump construction end up going. I ask because I am in the process of constructing ours this year and am looking for tips on the base and footing material.Right now I am thinking sand for the base

Still playing around with it Deb, I think the base will be 60mm rubble then quarry waste topped with sand. Just have to find quarry waste or dollamite that will harden and not go sloppy under water.
