Select from Countless Outdoor Wall Fountain Styles Wall fountains are well suited to little verandas or gardens because they do not require too much space while also adding a touch of style and providing a great place to find peace and quiet. When looking at the many types of outdoor wall fountains available including traditional, vintage, modern, or Asian, you are certain to find one best suited to your design ideas. If you are looking for a unique design, a customized one can be specially made to fit your specifications.
The two types of fountains available to you are mounted and stand-alone models. Small, self-contained models can be placed on a wall are called mounted wall fountains. Wall fountains made of resin ( similar to stone) or fiberglass are typically light so they can be easily hung. Sizable free-standing wall fountains, often referred to as floor fountains, have their basins located on the floor and a flat side leaning on a wall. Typically made of cast stone, these water features have no weight limitations.
Custom-made fountains which can be integrated into a new or existing wall are often recommended by landscaping designers. A professional mason is required to place the water basin against the wall and properly install all the plumbing inside or behind the wall. A fountain mask or a spout also needs to be integrated into the wall. Customized wall fountains add to a unified look because they become part of the scenery rather than look like a later addition.
