A Wall Water Feature to Suit Your Decor

A Wall Water Feature to Suit Your Decor Placing a wall fountain in your backyard or patio is perfect when you want to relax. You can also make the most of a small space by having one custom-made. Whether it is stand alone or fitted, you will require a spout, a water bowl, internal piping, and a pump. Traditional, modern, antique, and Asian are just a few of the styles from which you can choose.

Stand-alone wall fountains, otherwise known as floor fountains, are noticeably big and feature a basin on the ground.
