The Many Construction Materials of Large Garden Fountains

Many Construction Materials Large Garden Fountains 04259238201634.jpg The Many Construction Materials of Large Garden Fountains Garden fountains today are mostly made from metal, although you can find them in other materials too. Metallic fountains, with their clean lines and sculptural accents, come in in a range of metals and can accommodate any style or budget. The interior design of your home should set the look and feel of your yard and garden as well.

Today, a lot of people favor copper for their sculptural garden fountains. Copper is trendy for both inside and outside use and is commonly found in tabletop and cascade fountains, among others. Copper is also flexible enough that you can pick a range of styles for your fountain, from contemporary to whimsical.

Also common, brass fountains typically have a more old-fashioned appearance to them versus their copper counterpart. You will see a lot of brass fountains, as their intriguing artwork makes them popular even if they are on the more traditional side.

Perhaps the most cutting-edge of all metals is stainless steel. Adding a modern-looking steel design will immediately add value to your garden and improve the overall mood. Like all water fountains, you can find them in just about any size you choose.

Because it is both lighter and cheaper than metal but has a nearly identical look, fiberglass is quite common for fountains. Caring for a fiberglass water fountain is fairly easy, another benefit that consumers like.

In order to make Rome worthy of being the capital of the Christian world, the Pope decided to embellish the beauty of the city. Beginning in 1453, the ruined ancient Roman aqueduct known as the Aqua Vergine which had brought fresh drinking water into the city from eight miles away, underwent restoration at the bidding of the Pope. The ancient Roman tradition of marking the entry point of an aqueduct with an imposing celebratory fountain, also known as a mostra, was restored by Nicholas V. The architect Leon Battista Alberti was directed by the Pope to put up a wall fountain where we now find the Trevi Fountain. The aqueduct he had reconditioned included modifications and extensions which eventually enabled it to supply water to the Trevi Fountain as well as the renowned baroque fountains in the Piazza del Popolo and the Piazza Navona.
