The Multiple Types of Wall Fountains
Having a wall fountain in your backyard or on a terrace is great when you wish to relax. Moreover, it can be made to fit into any wall space since it does not take up much room. Whether it is stand alone or mounted, you will need a spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump. There are any number of models to pick from most notably traditional, contemporary, classic, or Asian. With its basin placed on the ground, freestanding wall fountains, or floor fountains, are typically quite large in size.
On the other hand, a water feature attached to a wall can be incorporated onto an existing wall or fit into a new wall. A unified look can be realized with this style of water feature because it seems to become part of the landscape rather than an added element.
