Early, Largely Ignored, Water-Moving Plan 38601909286797967.jpg The Early, Largely Ignored, Water-Moving Plan Though the machine developed by Agrippa for carrying water gained the admiration of Andrea Bacci in 1588, it appeared to disappear not very long after. It could be that in 1592 when Rome’s latest aqueduct, the Acqua Felice, began providing the Villa Medici, there was simply no longer much usage for the equipment.

Exterior Wall Fountains: The Many Styles Available

Your tastes 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 requirements, you can choose from mounted or freestanding models. Little, self-contained mounted wall fountains can be hung on any surface. Typically made of resin (to look like stone) or fiber glass, these types of fountains are lightweight and easy to hang. Large-sized 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. Generally composed of cast stone, this style of water feature is not restricted in weight.

Landscape designers often propose a customized fountain for a brand new or existing wall. Employing an expert mason is your best option to build the basin and install the necessary plumbing. The wall will need to have a spout or fountain mask incorporated into it. Custom-built wall fountains lend to a unified look because they become part of the scenery rather than look like a later addition.
