Your Outdoor Wall Fountain: Maintenance & Routine Service

Outdoor Wall Fountain: Maintenance & Routine Service 000704537825190154.jpg Your Outdoor Wall Fountain: Maintenance & Routine Service An important first step before installing any outdoor wall feature is to consider the area you have available. A strong wall is absolutely needed to hold up its total weight. Therefore for smaller areas or walls, a light fountain is going to be more suitable. An electric socket near the fountain is required to power the fountain. Since there are many types of outdoor wall fountains, installation procedures vary, however the majority include user-friendly instructions.

The general outdoor wall feature is available in an easy-to-use kit that comes with everything you need and more to properly install it. The kit will contain a submersible pump, the hoses and basin (or reservoir). The basin can typically be concealed among your garden plants if it is not too large. Other than the regular cleaning, little servicing is required once your outdoor wall fountain is fitted.

Replenishing and cleaning the water on a consistent basis is very important. Debris such as twigs, leaves or dirt should be cleared away quickly. Ensure that your outdoor wall fountain is protected from freezing winter temperatures. Bring your pump inside when the weather turns very cold and freezes the water so as to avoid any possible damage, such as cracking. Simply put, your outdoor fountain will be around for many years to come with the proper care and maintenance.

The Various Construction Materials of Outdoor Fountains

The Various Construction Materials of Outdoor FountainsVarious Construction Materials Outdoor Fountains 9606362590632.jpg Garden fountains today are typically made from metal, although you can find them in other materials too. Metallic models offer clean lines and unique sculptural accents and will fit in with nearly any decorative style and budget. Your outdoor design should complement the style of your residence.

One of the most popular metals for sculptural garden fountains these days is copper. Copper is used in cascade and tabletop water fountains as well as various other styles, making it versatile enough for inside and outside fountains. If you opt to go with copper, your fountain can be any style from fun and whimsical to cutting-edge.

Also popular, brass fountains typically have a more old-fashioned look to them versus their copper counterpart. Even though they are a bit old-fashioned, brass fountains are quite common because they often include interesting artwork.

Arguably the most cutting-edge of all metals is stainless steel. If you choose a cutting-edge steel design, both the value and tranquility of your garden will get a nice boost. As with all fountains, you can find any size you choose.

Because it is both lighter and cheaper than metal but has a comparable look, fiberglass is quite common for fountains. Caring for a fiberglass water fountain is fairly easy, another benefit that consumers seek.
