Outdoor Water Features Come in Many Shapes and Sizes
Turn your garden into what you have always wanted – an oasis of serenity. You can benefit from a water feature by integrating an outdoor fountain to your backyard and creating a place of tranquility. A striking impact is produced when a spouting fountain sends a shooting stream of water up into the air. If your pond is sufficiently big, it can be incorporated without trouble. These sorts of fountains are often seen in parks or historical manor homes.
One of the myriad examples of an outdoor water feature is a stylish wall fountain. Such water features make for a fantastic addition to your yard even if it is small. Spouting fountains usually make quite an impact whereas wall features are more of a subtle kind of water feature. In a very simple process, the water spills out of a spout, trickles down a beautifully textured wall only to be pumped back to the top.
Putting in a fountain with a theme depends totally on the style of your garden. In a rustic themed bungalow or yard, a classical styled statue for your fountain could include cherubs holding the spout. Modern-day gardens, on the other hand, benefit from something more adventurous. Let your creativity run free to choose the best option.
Tiered fountains are charming because the water runs down multiple levels. Due to the water running down its multiple levels, these are also called cascading fountains.
A significant amount of space is necessary for an outdoor fountain, so another alternative is to install a wall fountain or a pondless fountain. These types of water features are ideal for an area with limited space because their reservoirs are buried underground.
Tranquility and well-being are some of the key sensations imparted by Japanese fountains. Bamboo sticks are used in this type of fountain to expel the water. The repetition of water pouring into a bucket or shaped stone is one of the main attributes of this type of fountain.
Another sort of fountain is made of glass. Producing a more classical appearance are trellis-style fountains which showcase shaped metalwork. However, this type of water feature is better suited to gardens with many sharp corners as well as modern-day forms and design. A wondrous effect is created when water flows down the sheets of glass. Some fountains also include colorful LED lights to shine onto the sheets of glass as water streams downwards. The jagged surface of rock waterfall fountain creates an appealing façade as the water gently flows downwards.
The feature which differentiates a bubbling rock fountain is a large rock drilled with holes where pipes can be inserted into its middle. In this sort of fountain, water is forced upwards at low pressure to cause it to bubble and gurgle at the top. Downward flowing water appears as soft trickle as it moves down the sides of the rock to go back to its base. Gardens with limited space are good places to include this style of fountain. This sort of fountain, which uses low pressure to move water, is suitable because it prevents water from being sprayed around in breezy weather.
Solar fountains have recently gained in popularity because they are powered by the sun. The lack of cables, the decreased difficulty in managing them, the lower energy bills, and the benefits to our ecosystem are just some of the motives for this increased interest. The wide-ranging designs in outdoor solar-run fountains means you will not have to compromise on style.
