The Many Styles of Exterior Fountains

A eye-catching impact is produced when a spouting fountain sends a shooting stream of water up into the air. Sizable, existing ponds can effortlessly be fitted with one of these. You can find these in community parks or old mansions.

Wall fountains are an perfect example of outdoor wall features. These types of fountains make great water features even if you only have a little garden. Wall fountains leave a subtle impression, contrary to the big effect created by spouting fountains. In a very simple procedure, the water spills out of a spout, trickles down a magnificently textured wall only to be pumped back to the top.

Your garden’s style dictates whether a themed fountain is suitable for you. Consider a classic type of statue, such as a cherub supporting a spout, for the fountain if your residence or garden is rustic in style. Consider installing something bolder and distinctive for a contemporary garden. Just allow your imagination to run loose.

The main characteristic of tiered fountains is the multiple levels spewing out water. Due to the water streaming down its various levels, these are also called cascading fountains.

The space required for an outdoor fountain can be vast, therefore, a better solution is to install a wall fountain or a pondless fountain. Since the reservoirs required for these kinds of fountains are hidden below the ground, you can make the most of the room at your disposal.

Japanese fountains are thought to impart a feeling of tranquility and well-being. In this style of water feature the water runs through bamboo sticks. Water then flows into a container or a shaped stone, only to repeat the cycle over and over again.

Glass fountains make up a different category of fountain. A more vintage look is provided by trellis-style fountains which feature shaped metalwork. Water features such as these are ideal for gardens with many sharp corners as well as modern-day forms and designs. The water produces a spectacular effect when it runs down the outside of the glass. Some fountains also include colorful LED lights to shine onto the sheets of glass as water flows downwards. With water softly streaming down its surface, rock waterfall fountains, often made of fake rock, are a viable option for your garden.

Bubbling rock fountains are big rocks drilled with holes which are then filled with pipes in the center. The gurgles and bubbles at the top are the result of the low pressure used to trigger the water upwards. Downward flowing water appears as soft dribble as it moves down the sides of the rock to return to its base. This type of fountain is perfectly suited for little gardens. To ensure that water is not sprayed around if it begins to get windy, this kind of fountain is the best choice since it only uses low pressure to move water.

Solar fountains have recently gained in popularity because they are powered by sunlight. The reasons for this are varied, from the lack of wires and the reduced complexities to the lower power bills and the beneficial impact on our environment. You will not have to concede on style since there is a wide range of designs to choose from in outdoor solar-powered fountains.
