Default "Sheet of water" waterfall design

I would like to re-work my slate rock waterfall into one that has a large
flat top and the water "sheets" off in a solid wall of water into the pond.
Does anyone have an inexpensive or creative design idea on this? Ive seen
them in the pond shops made out of a sheet of pre-formed hard plastic but
dont like the way that looks exactly. I just would like to try the different
sound and profile that I've seen on some large scale ponds/fountains.


They use the plastic because you need a dead level and even lip to the fall.
If you could find a material that had those same two characteristics you
could achieve what you want. Perhaps take a grinder to the stone to make it
the same.

I've seen falls where a thin strip of transparent plastic was simply glued
(with silicone I believe) to the top of a falls. As long as there is water
going across the entire piece of plastic you wouldn't notice it was there.
