The Wide Array of Wall Fountains
The Wide Array of Wall Fountains A small patio or a courtyard is a great spot to situate your wall fountain when you seek out peace and quiet. You can have one custom-built to suit your requirements even if you have a small amount of space. A spout, a water basin, internal piping, and a pump are essential for freestanding as well as mounted varieties.
There are any number of different styles available on the market including traditional, fashionable, classical, or Asian. Also referred to as a floor fountain, a stand-alone wall fountain is normally rather large, and its basin is placed on the ground.
You can choose to place your wall-mounted feature on an existing wall or build it into a new wall. The look of your landscape will seem more cohesive instead of disjointed when you install this kind of water feature.
Setting Up and Maintaining Fountains
Setting Up and Maintaining Fountains A very important first step is to consider the dimensions of the outdoor wall fountain with regards to the area you have available for it. It will need a strong wall to support its overall weight.
So spaces or walls which are smaller in size will most probably require something light. In order to power the fountain, an electrical socket will need to be nearby. Since there are many kinds of outdoor wall fountains, installation methods vary, however the majority include easy to follow instructions. Most outdoor wall fountains come in "for-dummies" style kits that will give you all you need to properly install it. The kit will include a submersible pump, the hoses and basin (or reservoir). Depending on its size, the basin can typically be hidden quite easily amongst the plants. Since outdoor wall fountains need little attention, the only thing left to do is clean it regularly.
Replace and clean the water on a regular basis. Remember to remove debris like leaves, twigs or dirt as fast as possible. Excessively cold temperatures can damage your outdoor wall fountain so be sure to protect it during wintertime. If kept outdoors, your pump could split as a result of freezing water, so bring it inside during the winter. All in all, an outdoor wall fountain can last for any number of years with the right maintenance and care.
