Outdoor wall fountains, different and appealing.

If you really want to be different add outdoor wall fountains to your home. Cascading outdoor wall fountains really do look impressive. They are particularly good for humidifying rooms because of the large surface area down which the water flows. Wall fountains should be lightweight. Otherwise you might just pull the house down – only joking. 

  • Do not forget that impressive outdoor wall fountains do not have to be hung. Ideal self-standing wall fountains are ones that go into a corner or against a wall or are used to cover a gap and also have a built in pond. Try a few small goldfish in such a pond to add even more life and movement to your wall fountain.

  • The only real maintenance with a basic self contained water feature or fountain is to treat the water to prevent it going slimy and green ... this way you attract the birds into your garden. To ensure any wildlife is protected only use approved products like Microbe-Lift.

    Microbe-Lift is a Bio-Enzymatic product specially formulated for fountains inhabited by birds small fish and frogs. This product has two unique technologies; one helps prevent buildup of stains mineral deposits and scum while the second uses bio-enzymatic activity to keep water clear and free of organic debris that can make the water cloudy.

    Clean out the fountain pump occasionally

    Outdoor wall fountains can be single piece units or modular to cater for different tastes in height and width. It is important to avoid splash if intended for indoor use.

    Of course there are many other types of outdoor wall fountains meaning fountains that attach directly walls and NOT the self standing in front of a wall as is the case for the above fountains. The classic lions head always comes to my mind first when I think of wall fountains. Then there are the gargoyle outdoor wall fountains, the angels outdoor wall fountains and the list goes on and on.

    On a serious note heavy concrete outdoor wall fountains need special attention when mounting onto walls. They can easily drop and hurt someone if not properly attached using strong wall bolts. Most people do not have the tools to install these outdoor wall fountains to ensure they remain perfectly safe under all conditions.

    This fact alone is a very good reason to use lightweight resin or fiberglass outdoor wall fountains. Don’t take a chance with heavy outdoor wall fountains especially if there are kids around the place.
