How to Choose the Right Outdoor Water Fountains for Home, Office, and Community Buildings
Outdoor water fountains are a cost effective way of beautifying a home, yard, garden, or porch. Instead of expensive renovation and refurbishing, simply installing a fountain can change the appearance of the property drastically. Even for a cluttered, dark corner in the yard or terrace that a homeowner wishes to brighten up, an outdoor fountain is wholly recommended. Some of the criteria through which you can choose outdoor water fountains are detailed below.
Size
The fountain should be in proportion to the size of the yard or lawn. A large fountain in a small yard can make it appear cramped. A small fountain in a big lawn does not catch the attention of visitors, nullifying its purpose. For a very small porch, you can add an Outdoor Wall fountain in a corner.
Location
Outdoor fountains face one problem that indoor fountains do not face - sinking. Soft earth can cause a heavy fountain to sink into the ground. If the ground becomes wet due to spilling, then the fountain is even more likely to sink. To avoid this problem, make sure that the fountain is placed on firm ground. Ideally, a large fountain should be placed in the center of the plot for the maximum effect.
Design
The fountain should not look out of place in its surroundings. Fortunately, it is easy to find fountains in various styles and designs in the market today. They brighten yards and add tremendous beauty to barren lawns without clashing with the scenery or furniture. Ceramic fountains can weather wind, storm, rain, snow, and harsh sun in a better way. However, these fountains are costly and heavy. Use wood fountains only in a porch or other sheltered spaces. Fiberglass, acrylic and metal fountains are weather proof and rather an inexpensive choice for the outdoors. Stone and slate fountains are also popular.
Price
Fountains come in a range of prices. The more elaborate ones with detailed workmanship are expensive. Smaller fountains built on modern, minimalist lines are cheaper. Ceramic founts are expensive, but fiberglass and copper fountains are not. An outdoor wall fountain costs $100, and floor fountains cost more depending on size and design. Bamboo fountains are perfect for the yard. They are eco friendly, light, and pocket-friendly. You can also consider terracotta fountains for your porch or lawn, as they cost less than metal and stone fountains. The total price would include fountain parts, accessories, and other decorative features such as fish for the pool.
Safety
Water fountains can be a hazard if you have small children and pets at home. Children can fall into pools, and pets may lap up water, that contains chemicals, from the pool. If possible, choose from outdoor water fountains that are out of reach of children, such as wall fountains. They are the safest. If you have a fountain on the grounds, one with deep pools, consider enclosing it in a fence.
Keeping these basic points in mind when out purchasing outdoor water fountains will go a long way in ensuring safety, proper budgeting, and effective use of your outdoor space.
