Something About Garden Fountains

The gentle sound of the garden fountains helps to relax after a tiring and stressful day. The garden fountain has the ability to transform the garden into a tranquil paradise. There are wide array of garden fountains available that will complement with any garden setting. They are available in different styles, sizes and prices to suit ones taste and budget.

Material Of Garden Fountains

The outdoor fountains are made of mostly ceramic, stone, wood and highly durable fiberglass. The fiberglass outdoor fountains are weather resistant too.

Tips to Make Garden Fountains

Choose a ceramic or fiberglass planter to receive water. To make the garden fountain attractive, get three copper pipes – one of the pipes will deliver water to the ceramic planter. The beauty of the fountain lies in the color of the planter selected and the copper tubes.

The central copper pipe provides the plumbing and it consists of three lengths of pipe and four elbows. They are soldered together. Artistically twisted copper pipes flank the sides of the central pipe. The copper tubes flanking the sides of the pipes are anchored to the ground to provide support for the plumbing. These copper tubes are decorative pieces too.

Since the copper, pipes are used to make the garden fountain, avoid putting the fish in the planter pond – since copper releases toxins in the water.
