Select from Many Outdoor Wall Fountain Styles
Small verandas or courtyards are a perfect place to set up wall fountains because they add style to an area with limited space. Traditional, antique, modern, or Asian are just some of the styles you can pick from when looking for an outdoor wall fountain to your liking. Your preferences dictate the type you buy so while there may not be a prefabricated fountain to suit you, you do have the option of having a customized one.Depending on your wishes, you can select from mounted or freestanding models. Little, self-contained mounted wall fountains can be installed on any surface. Wall fountains made of resin (resembling stone) or fiberglass are typically light so they can be easily hung. Large-sized free-standing wall fountains, commonly referred to as floor fountains, have their basins positioned on the floor and a flat side leaning on a wall. Water features such as these are usually made of cast stone and have no weight limitations.
Custom-built fountains which can be integrated into a new or existing wall are often prescribed by landscaping designers. Placing the basin against the wall and installing all the plumbing work requires a professional mason to do it correctly. It is also essential to include a spout or fountain mask to build it into the wall. The cohesive look provided by customized wall fountains make them appear to be part of the scenery rather than an afterthought.
The Many Good Reasons to Add a Fountain
The inclusion of a wall fountain or an outdoor garden fountain is an excellent way to embellish your yard or garden design.
Any number of current designers and fountain craftsmen have found ideas in the fountains and water features of the past. You can also reinforce the link to the past by adding one of these to your home's interior design. The water and moisture garden fountains release into the environment draws birds and other creatures, and also balances the ecosystem, all of which contribute to the benefits of including one of these beautiful water features. Flying, annoying insects, for instance, are frightened off by the birds congregating around the fountain or birdbath. The area necessary for a cascading or spouting fountain is considerable, so a wall fountain is the ideal size for a small yard. Either a freestanding fountain with an even back and an attached basin placed against a fence or a wall, or a wall-mounted style which is self-contained and hangs on a wall, are some of the possibilities from which you can choose. A water feature can be added to an existing wall if you include some type of fountain mask as well as a basin to gather the water below. The plumbing and masonry work necessary for this type of job requires know-how, so it is best to hire a skilled person rather than do it yourself.
