How To Build A Wall Fountain

A wall fountain can add beauty to any outdoor garden, table top or office. Although many people may think that these fountains are expensive and difficult to make, this is simply not true. Wall fountains are quite affordable and easy to make. A wall fountain consists of a water basin that people can fill with decorative rocks, and a frame that holds a sheet of glass that allows the water to dribble down into the basin. Following are some easy directions to make a small wall fountain to decorate a tabletop in a home or office.

What People Will Need To Build A Wall Fountain

People will need a few inexpensive materials to build their wall fountain. The following is the required materials: plastic tubing, caulking, a fountain pump, hot glue, a drill, indoor/outdoor clear gloss screws and nuts, a metal box, copper shield and a metal picture frame with enclosed glass.

People can find any of these materials in their local craft shops or the craft departments of their local department stores. Building A Basic Wall Fountain

The first thing that people will need to do is to screw the metal picture frame onto the front of the metal box. They will need to caulk around the screws to make sure they will be waterproof, and apply the copper shield to all of the metal to prevent oxidation from occurring.

Next, they need to place the water pump into the metal box, and glue the tubing along one side or the picture frame and just across the top, as well. They will need to seal the end of the tubing at the top of the frame with the caulk. Now, they should carefully poke several small holes in the tubing that is covering the top of the frame. This will permit the water to drip down the glass of the frame.

Finishing The Wall Fountain

The wall fountain is now almost finished. People may choose to scatter some small, decorative stones on the bottom of the metal box. They may also wish to decorate the box to make it more appealing and to hide the screws. Finally, they need to plug the water pump into an outlet and fill the box with water. The water will flow through the plastic tubing and drip over the glass of the frame creating a beautiful wall fountain for anyone's home or office.

How are outdoor fountains made?

Both Indoor and outdoor fountains for wall mounting are usually constructed of marble, glass, slate, copper and a light weight resin or some combination of those materials. There are generally no screws or glues used to hold the pieces together. The stone is generally cut in a manner to fit together naturally with the rest of the pieces. The reason is that water would loosen the hold of many glues and it is very difficult to drill into stone without cracking it. The metal is bent to the desired shape through the use of machines and the glass is cut and molded to the correct size and shape. The wall fountain is set up with a pump at the bottom that cycles water up from the base or pond through a tube. The water then runs back down the indoor our outdoor fountain and collects again in the pool. Most fountains are electrically powered, but some use solar power. The copper used in wall fountains is burned to give it a unique and interesting coloration. This process is called teening. After the teening process the copper is powder coated to prevent it from turning green when it ages. Many pictures of wall fountains can be found at www.watergifts.com if a picture image would help you visualize a constructed wall fountain. The last step of the wall fountain creation process is hanging the wall fountain on the wall. A wall fountain can be hung by first attaching a piece of metal to the wall and then attaching the wall fountain to the metal. A video of the fountain hanging process can be viewed by clicking on the word fountain or going to http://www.wall2wallfountains.com/wall-fountain-installation.html
