Metallic versions offer clean lines and unique sculptural accents and can accommodate nearly any decorative style and budget. Your landscape should complement the style of your home.

Presently, copper is very popular for sculptural garden fountains. Copper is appropriate for many fountain styles, including tabletop and cascade water fountains, and can be placed either inside or outside - making it a great option. Another benefit of copper fountains is they are flexible and come in a wide variety of styles.

Brass water fountains are also common, though they tend to have a more conventional look than copper ones. Brass fountains are frequently designed with interesting artwork, so they are popular even if they are a bit conventional.

The most contemporary metal right now is probably stainless steel. If you select a cutting-edge steel design, both the value and tranquility of your garden will get a nice lift. Like all water fountains, you can buy them in just about any size you want.

Fiberglass is a popular material for fountains because you can get the look and feel of metal at a much lower price, and it is lighter weight and easier to move than metal. Keeping a fiberglass water fountain clean and working well is quite simple, another aspect consumers like.
