An easily affordable way to install a water fountain in your backyard is to place an inexpensive electric pump in a large ceramic or concrete planter. Simply fill up the planter with water and plug in the pump. The planter can be placed in various settings such as a flower garden or on your deck. It creates a relaxing environment highlighted by the sound of fresh running water.
Another low-cost fountain design can be built with bamboo, which is already naturally shaped like a water pipe. Water easily flows through bamboo and looks compelling as it pours onto a bed of rocks. Bamboo can be utilized in a variety of ways, including building structures like pipework for distributing water. If you live in the wilderness, bamboo fountains help keep deer away.
Water fountains can be constructed from numerous materials including an old wine barrel made of wood. Adding a container pump turns it into an interesting nostalgic-looking water pump. To make it even more attractive consider adding LED fountain lights and surround the barrel with green plants.
Thinking beyond humans, would you like to do something for the birds that visit your property regularly? Designing a birdbath fountain can be done with rocks covering up a tub of water with a plastic drum. This design keeps the shallow water more under control to create a bird-friendly environment.
Stacking three planters on top of each other and installing a circulating pump is a brilliant way to create three levels of bubbling water. Placing paving stones inside the lower containers helps support the upper planter.
