An important facet to consider is the size of the outdoor wall fountain in respect to the space in which you are going to mount it. A strong wall is definitely necessary to hold up its total weight. Note that small areas or walls will need to have a lightweight fountain. An electric socket near the fountain is needed to power the fountain. Most outdoor wall fountains include simple, step-by-step instructions according to the type of fountain.

Everything you will need to properly install your outdoor wall fountain is typically provided in easy-to-use kits. A submersible pump, hoses and basin, or reservoir, are included in the kit. The basin can usually be concealed among your garden plants if it is not too big. Since outdoor wall fountains need little care, the only thing left to do is clean it regularly.

Replace the water regularly so it is always clean. Rubbish such as twigs, leaves or dirt should be cleaned up quickly. Make sure that your outdoor wall fountain is shielded from bitterly cold winter temperatures. Your pump may break when exposed to freezing water during the cold weather, so it is best to bring it indoors to avoid any damage. All in all, an outdoor wall fountain can last for any number of years with proper servicing and cleaning.

Anglo-Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest

Anglo-Saxon Landscapes During the Norman Conquest The arrival of the Normans in the second half of the 11th century irreparably transformed The Anglo-Saxon lifestyle. The expertise of the Normans surpassed the Anglo-Saxons' in architecture and farming at the time of the conquest. But before concentrating on home-life or having the occasion to think about domestic architecture or decoration, the Normans had to subjugate an entire society. Monasteries and castles served separate functions, so while monasteries were enormous stone structures assembled in only the most productive, wide dales, castles were set upon blustery knolls where the occupants focused on learning offensive and defensive practices. The barren fortresses did not provide for the quiet avocation of horticulture. Berkeley Castle, perhaps the most unspoiled style of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture, still exists now. The keep is thought to date from the time of William the Conqueror. As a technique of deterring attackers from tunneling under the walls, an immense terrace encompasses the building. A picturesque bowling green, enveloped in grass and enclosed by battlements clipped out of an ancient yew hedge, forms one of the terraces.
