If you are thinking about transforming your country house or summer cottage, you need to think over everything in detail. You will have to draw up detailed drawings and plans in order to provide for all the subtleties and nuances. But how exactly do you explain your ideas to friends and family? To do this, you need to make models of the structures with which you want to decorate the interior. For example, suppose you wanted to place a fountain in your home. How do I mock it up?
It is necessary
a reservoir for a fountain, wires, an electric pump, thin tubes of the same section, tube fasteners, materials for decorating a fountain
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start making a model, keep in mind that your model must be an exact copy of what you want to see in reality. The layout must be taken very seriously, since the future real fountain will be made exactly according to your layout. Carelessness or mistakes can have dire consequences. Decide on the location of the future fountain. It is necessary to position it so that it fits into the interior ergonomically and is conveniently located. Decide on the technical part of the fountain. It is also worth thinking about the appearance of the fountain. Try to draw a simple sketch to see an example of the structure.
Step 2
Now you need to draw up a detailed and accurate drawing. Please note that the layout drawing will serve as the basis for the drawing of a real fountain. To get a drawing of a real fountain from the layout drawing, you will need to increase all dimensions of the layout drawing by a certain number of times. This number will be the scale in which the layout will be executed, that is, the ratio of the size of the layout and the full-size fountain. Think over and measure all the smallest details so that there are fewer mistakes in the manufacture of parts.
Step 3
Now you can start the very process of making the layout. To do this, you will need a reservoir, which will be the main element of your layout. It is in it that all the water will be located. It is best to take a round-shaped tank, then you will have a classic fountain. Next, you need to assemble a water circulation system. It should consist of small hoses and an electric pump. The electric pump must be removed outside the tank. Decide on the number of gushing jets in your fountain. You can make one nozzle in the center, from which water will beat, or you can make several and evenly arrange them around the perimeter of the tank. You just need to take into account that the pump power should be enough for the selected number of nozzles of the same section. All hoses must be carefully secured. All holes in the reservoir for fastening the hoses must be sealed.
Step 4
Make the first turn on of your layout. You must check the system is working and adjust the jet angles and range. The range of the jet will depend on the size of the outlet nozzle. The narrower the section, the further the jet will hit. Please note that even with current surges, from which the electric pump can generate high pressure, the water jets should not hit outside the tank. Check the location of all hoses carefully. None of them should be jammed or pinched.
Step 5
The final moment has arrived. You need to decorate your fountain. For this, you can use plants that live in water. Put sand and beautiful stones at the bottom. You also need to install a fine mesh on the drain holes so that sand and other small particles do not get into the pump. Disguise the electric pump in some way. But it is imperative to make it easy to access. Your imagination will help you decorate the layout. After finishing the decorating process, call all your family and friends and make a presentation of your innovation.
