If you have a desire to turn your piece of land into a masterpiece of landscape design, then you cannot do without a decorative fountain. When the beds and fruit bushes merge with it in a single composition, you will expressively feel your self-sufficiency, which civilization has awarded you. Adhere to a certain sequence of work and some recommendations.
It is necessary
shovel, fittings, metal sheets or boards, concrete, special primer or waterproofing film, electric pump, decorative materials for decoration and planting plants for decoration
Instructions
Step 1
Determine the dimensions of the future fountain and come up with its appearance. Better to sketch on paper. Modern computer programs will allow you to make a drawing on a computer.
Step 2
Begin a careful study of your plot of land to determine the location of your decorative fountain. Look for a fairly spacious area where partial shade falls. A darkened place is needed so that direct sunlight does not provoke a "bloom" of water. Try not to grow trees nearby, because their roots can destroy the fountain's reservoir in the future.
Step 3
After choosing a suitable place, break the marks where you will dig the hole. Dig a hole in the dimensions of your drawing. The bottom and walls should be reinforced, for example, with a reinforcing mesh.
Step 4
Install the formwork from metal sheets, you can use wooden boards. Fill the structure with concrete. Wait for the concrete to harden. Now level the surface with special primer. If you wish, you can use a special waterproofing film. If, in your opinion, concreting is too laborious, buy a container made of plastic, metal or fiberglass from a specialized store. Install the tank in the pit, fill the space between the pit and the tub with pebbles or rubble.
Go to pump installation.
Step 5
Place the pump on the bottom of the bowl on a special stand. Carefully adjust the height of the stand so that the pump nozzle is above the water surface. Take care of the perforated filter casing to protect the pump from clogging. When connecting the pump, strictly follow the safety rules. Provide grounding, install dielectric housing.
Step 6
Design the ground part at your own discretion. Use natural stone, sculptures, plaster figures, plants.
