The Multiple Styles of Wall Water Fountains

With its basin laid on the ground, freestanding wall fountains, or floor fountains, are normally quite big in size.

It is possible to incorporate a wall-mounted fountain onto an already existing wall or built into a new wall. A cohesive look can be achieved with this style of water feature because it seems to become part of the landscape rather than an added element.

The Wide Range of Exterior Fountains

A dramatic impact is produced when a spouting fountain sends a shooting stream of water high into the air. Large, existing ponds can have one of these built-in without much difficulty. These sorts of fountains are often found in parks or historical stately homes.

Select a fashionable wall fountain to put outside. These types of fountains make excellent water features even if you only have a little garden. Whereas spouting fountains leave behind an impressive effect, wall fountains are rather understated water features. In this straightforward process, water is ejected from a little spout, runs down a wonderfully textured wall, before being collected at the bottom and returned to the top once again.

Putting in a fountain with a theme depends totally on the style of your garden. If your cottage or garden is styled in a rustic manner, you should think about adding a classic type of statue, such as a seraph holding the spout, to your fountain. Modern-day gardens, on the other hand, benefit from something more audacious. Just allow your imagination to run loose.

Tiered fountains are charming because the water moves down multiple levels. Cascading fountains is another name used to identify this type of fountain because water flows down multiple levels.

Since outdoor fountains occupy a great deal of space, consider putting in a wall fountain or a pondless fountain. These types of water features are suitable for an area with limited space because their reservoirs are concealed underground.

Add a Japanese fountain if you are looking for a feeling of tranquility. The water flows through bamboo sticks in this kind of water feature. A rustic bucket or shaped stone is placed at the bottom of this feature to collect the flowing water only to have the cycle repeated over and over again.

An additional style of fountain is made of glass. Creating a more classical appearance are trellis-style fountains which showcase shaped metalwork. Water features such as these are best suited to yards with many sharp corners as well as modern-day forms and designs. The flowing water produces a striking effect as it moves down the glass panels. Some fountains also include colored LED lights to shine onto the sheets of glass as water streams downwards. The jagged surface of rock waterfall fountain creates an interesting façade as the water softly trickles downwards.

A large rock drilled with holes which then has tubes inserted into it is what distinguishes a bubbling rock fountain. The bubbling and gurgling at the uppermost part of this type of fountain are caused by the water being pushed upward at low pressure. Downward flowing water appears as soft dribble as it moves down the sides of the rock to go back to its base. This sort of fountain is perfectly suited for little gardens. This sort of fountain, which uses low pressure to move water, is ideal because it stops water from being sprayed around in breezy weather.

Solar fountains have recently gained in appeal because they are powered by the sun. The lack of cables, the decreased hassle in dealing with them, the lower energy bills, and the benefits to our ecosystem are just some of the reasons for this increased interest. There is no need to choose a specific model of outdoor solar-powered fountain because of the wide variety of designs available on the market.

A Solar Energy Powered Water Wall Fountain

Running water fountains will lead to a spike in your electric bill. Even though you might not instantly notice the short-term benefits, remember that your home will undoubtedly gain in value in the long-run.

Higher costs is not the only problem with using more electricity, the environment takes a big hit as well. Solar driven water fountains are a good alternative to becoming “green”. The environment can only benefit from the use of solar powered homes and water fountains.

Less maintenance is a benefit of installing this kind of fountain. Since solar fountains don't have motors, they don't get clogged which leads to less cleaning. And less cleaning means more time to play!
