Installation and Maintenance of Garden Fountains A vital first step before installing any outdoor wall feature is to consider the space you have available. It will require a strong wall to support its overall weight. So areas or walls which are smaller in size will most probably require something lightweight. You will need to have an electrical outlet in the vicinity of the fountain so it can be powered. Since there are many varieties of outdoor wall fountains, installation methods vary, but the majority include easy to follow instructions.

Most outside wall fountains are available in "for-dummies" style kits that will provide you everything you need to properly install it. The kit will include a submersible pump, the hoses and basin (or reservoir). If the size is appropriate, the basin can be concealed amongst your garden plants. Once your wall fountain is in place, all that is needed is consistent cleaning and some light maintenance.

Replace the water regularly so it is always clean. It is important to promptly remove debris such as leaves, twigs or other dreck. In addition, your outdoor wall fountain should not be exposed to freezing winter weather. In order to avoid any damage, such as cracking, from freezing water during the cold winter season, relocate your pump inside. To sum up, your outdoor wall fountain will continue to be an amazing add-on to your garden if you keep it well looked after and well maintained.

Bernini's Earliest Showpieces

Bernini's Earliest Showpieces The Barcaccia, a stunning water fountain constructed at the base of the Trinita dei Monti in Piaza di Spagna, was Bernini's earliest water fountain. This area is still filled with Roman locals and tourists who like to exchanging gossip or going over the day's news. One of the city’s most stylish meeting places are the streets surrounding Bernini's fountain, which would undoubtedly have brought a smile to the great Bernini. Dating back to around 1630, Pope Urbano VIII mandated what was to be the very first water fountain of the master's career. The fountain’s central motif is based on a massive vessel slowly sinking into the Mediterranean Sea. The great 16th century flood of the Tevere, which left the entire region inundated with water, was memorialized by the water fountain according to documents from the period. In 1665 Bernini traveled to France, in what was to be his sole extended absence from Italy.
