Pick from Countless Exterior Wall Fountain Designs
Wall fountains are well suited to small verandas or gardens because they do not take up too much space while also adding a bit of style and providing a great place to find peace and quiet. Conventional, antique, modern, or Asian are just some of the designs you can pick from when looking for an outdoor wall fountain to your liking. Your preferences determine the type you buy so while there may not be a prefabricated fountain to satisfy you, you do have the option of having a customized one.The two kinds of fountains available to you are mounted and stand-alone models. You can hang a mounted wall fountain because they are small and self-contained. Fountains of this kind need to be light, therefore, they are typically fabricated from resin (resembling stone) or fiberglass.
Floor fountains are freestanding, big, and also have a basin on the floor as well as a flat side against the wall. Water features such as these are usually made of cast stone and have no weight restrictions.
It is a good idea to integrate a customized fountain into a new or existing wall, something often recommended by landscape professionals. The basin and all the necessary plumbing are best installed by a qualified mason. A fountain mask or a spout also needs to be integrated into the wall. A custom-made wall fountain blends into the landscape instead of standing out because it was a later addition, which adds to a cohesive appearance.
The Positive Benefits of Adding a Fountain in Your Living Area
The addition of a wall water feature or an outdoor garden fountain is a great way to embellish your yard or garden design. Many current designers and artisans have been influenced by historical fountains and water features.
You can also reinforce the link to the past by adding one of these to your home's interior design. In addition to the wonderful characteristics of garden fountains, they also generate water and moisture which goes into the air, thereby, drawing in birds as well as other creatures and harmonizing the environment. For example, birds lured by a fountain or birdbath can be helpful because they fend off annoying flying insects. Wall fountains are a good choice if your yard is small because they do not need much space in contrast to a spouting or cascading fountain. Two possibilities to choose from include either a freestanding type with an even back set against a fence or wall in your garden, or a wall-mounted, self-contained type which is suspended on a wall. Both a fountain mask placed on the existing wall as well as a basin located at the bottom to collect the water are equired if you wish to add a fountain. It is best not to attempt this job on your own as skilled plumbers and masons are more suitable to do this type of work.
