Outdoor Fountains Come in Many Forms and Sizes

A dramatic impact is made when a spouting fountain sends a shooting stream of water up into the air. Large, existing ponds can have one of these built-in without much difficulty. You may have encountered one of these in a recreation area or an old mansion.

Outdoor water features are available in a variety of forms, one of which is a chic wall fountain. These types of fountains make for a fantastic addition to your yard even if it is small. While spouting fountains produce an impressive effect, wall fountains are rather understated water features. In a very simple process, the water flows out of a spout, trickles down a magnificently textured wall only to be pumped back to the top.

Themed fountains are perfect when the style of your yard allows for them. Consider a classic type of statue, such as a cherub supporting a spout, for the fountain if your home or garden is rustic in style. On the other hand, a more modern garden can include more of a bold design. Deciding what to do is totally in your hands.

Water flows down several levels in a tiered fountain. Water moves down numerous tiers in a cascading fountain.

A substantial amount of space is needed for an outdoor fountain, so another option is to install a wall fountain or a pondless fountain. Since the reservoirs required for these kinds of fountains are hidden underground, you can make the most of the room at your disposal.

Add a Japanese fountain if you are looking for a sense of relaxation. The water moves through bamboo sticks in this kind of water feature. A rustic bucket or shaped stone is placed at the bottom of this feature to collect the flowing water only to have the pattern repeated over and over again.

Another style of fountain is made of glass. Trellis-style fountains of this sort, highlight molded metalwork which provides a more conventional look. Water features such as these are ideal for yards with many sharp corners as well as modern forms and designs. The flowing water creates a beautiful effect as it moves down the glass panels. In some instances, the water is colored by LED lights as it flows over the glass sheets. A rock waterfall fountain (often made of imitation rock) shows off water softly cascading down its façade.

Bubbling rock fountains are large rocks drilled with holes which are then filled with tubes in the center. Low pressure is employed to spout out the water which then bubbles and gurgles at the top. Flowing towards the bottom of the fountain, the water returns as a slow drizzle down the sides of the rock. This sort of fountain is ideally suitable 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 the sun. The lack of cables, the decreased difficulty in dealing with them, the lower energy bills, and the benefits to our ecosystem are just some of the reasons for this increased interest. Outdoor solar-powered fountains are available in myriad varying styles, therefore, you will not have to settle on which one to purchase.
