Building a water fountain in your garden creates a refreshing sound of a flowing water like what you hear in a flowing stream. It adds the beauty of your garden due to its sizzling sound that invites a refreshing peaceful environment.
It seems you're setting in the midst of eternal happiness by the invigorating musical cascading sound of the fountain flowing water coupled with the decoration of varying flower blooms and the presence of butterflies and bees roaming around the vicinity.
To build your own water fountain is somewhat daunting in the first place. But, as you see your efforts, you realized the importance of establishing a water fountain to give benefits and beauty in your garden.
Steps in building your water fountain
1. Plan the size of your garden
Consider the area in your garden if it is large enough to construct a big fountain or a small one. So you've plan out the balance of you lot in relation to the size of the area and your home. There should be symmetry with your house and your fountain to maintain the right balance to create an attractive water fountain.
The best solution you can do is to get the service of an expert or engineer on water fountain construction to make sure you're doing it right. This way, you'll not waste your money in building your project.
2. Prepare the tools and materials
The following tools and materials should be available before you start the project:
• Big wash basin, large ceramic pot or large bowl. This is used as a catch-basin for the water to be used in your project.
• Piece of 1/8-inch or 1/4-inch plastic hose
• Small water fountain pump
• Spout statue, finial or rocks
• Shovel, rake, flexible tubing, plumbing fixtures
• Pair of scissors, wire cutter and electric drill
All these needed tools and materials should be ready to make your work easy and convenient. It would be daunting when you lack one of them, since the work would be delayed as scheduled.
3. Install the pump and attach the hose
After you've finished the necessary leveling and final touches in your fountain area, install the pump out in the basin and attach the plastic water hose according to the desired length you wish. Then attach the other end of the plastic hose to your pile of rocks or statue (depending on your own design how the water comes out from the hose) to allow the water to trickle up out from the piled rocks or spread in the statue.
4. Install an electrical outlet
It would be much better if your water fountain is close to an electrical outlet for ease in the connection to your pump. But, if it's far from the main source, hire an electrician to do the job if you've no knowledge about electricity. Don't ever do it yourself, your fountain might become a danger zone rather than a comfort zone.
5. Maintain the water level
Always check your catch-basin to maintain its water level capacity to ensure a continues flow of the water fountain which is what you aimed for - an attractive fountain in your garden.
There are other ways to establish your water fountain which you can copy. Depending on your capacity to spend to put up a costly project, it's only you who can decide. But the one I've shown here, is a simple one and does not need you to spend a large amount to install your attractive water fountain in your garden.
