The cool, refreshing air produced by waterfalls and fountains is a natural occurrence. You will experience a sudden coolness in the air when you come near a big waterfall or fountain. Putting your fountain cooling system in a place that is especially hot reduces its efficacy. Your cooling system will be less reliable if it is located in direct sunlight.

What Are Outdoor Garden Fountains Manufactured From?

Today, many people favor copper for their 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 versatile and come in a wide range of styles.

Also popular, brass fountains often have a more old-fashioned appearance to them versus their copper counterpart. Brass fountains are commonly designed with unique artwork, so they are popular even if they are a bit conventional.

Arguably the most cutting-edge of all metals is stainless steel. If you pick a cutting-edge steel design, both the value and tranquility of your garden will get a nice boost. Like other water features, they come in an array of sizes.

For people who want the visual appeal of a metal fountain but want a lighter weight and more affordable option, fiberglass is the answer. It is not complicated to clean and maintain a fiberglass water fountain, yet another reason they are popular.

The Origins Of Outdoor Fountains

From the beginning, outdoor fountains were soley there to serve as functional elements. Water fountains were linked to a spring or aqueduct to provide drinkable water as well as bathing water for cities, townships and villages. Used until the 19th century, in order for fountains to flow or shoot up into the air, their source of water such as reservoirs or aqueducts, had to be higher than the water fountain in order to benefit from the power of gravity. Serving as an element of decoration and celebration, fountains also generated clean, fresh drinking water. Bronze or stone masks of wildlife and heroes were frequently seen on Roman fountains. During the Middle Ages, Muslim and Moorish garden planners incorporated fountains to create smaller variations of the gardens of paradise. To demonstrate his dominance over nature, French King Louis XIV included fountains in the Garden of Versailles. The Popes of the 17th and 18th centuries were glorified with baroque style fountains made to mark the arrival points of Roman aqueducts.

The end of the nineteenth century saw the increase in usage of indoor plumbing to supply drinking water, so urban fountains were relegated to strictly decorative elements. Fountains using mechanical pumps instead of gravity allowed fountains to bring recycled water into living spaces as well as create special water effects.

Embellishing city parks, honoring people or events and entertaining, are some of the uses of modern-day fountains.
