Step 3The Hose
So instead of using PVC, I decided to try a flexible hose. Rain is a part of nature so it should come from a natural occurring shape, like a spiral. Ok, I just made that part up. Anyways, spread your garden hose in an even spiral across the surface area of the frame. Start from the outside.
Once you have it evenly spread out use the cable ties to secure the hose to the frame.
Right now you have a giant dream catcher. So you need to drill some holes in it to make it a rain machine. Using a very small drill bit, drill holes in the top side of the hose every 4-6 inches. Make sure not to make these holes too big. You'd be surprised how much water will spray out of even a tiny hole. You can always drill them bigger later if you need to. So start small.
Lastly screw on a the plastic cap to the end of your hose (should be in the center of our rain machine), and the valve adapter to the beginning.
