Decorative fountain with his own hands in the country and area

To arrange a garden plot, many have resorted to installing a fountain with his own hands.

Decorative fountain in the design looks very nice, and it has a calming effect.

At first glance it may seem that its installation - a process complicated and expensive.

If you look at his device, you can easily make a fountain in the country with their own hands.

Selecting location

Fountain should not be located in the area exposed to direct sunlight, otherwise the water periodically starts to bloom, its consumption will increase due to frequent change.

Trees near can also have a negative impact: leaves, twigs can clog design, and the roots - to destroy the interior.

better to have a fountain in the area intended for recreation.Well, if it can be seen in the garden from any angle.When site selection is made, then it is necessary to determine the type of fountain.

main types

Garden fountains in type are: submersible and stationary.

submersible used directly in the pond located in the garden.The principle of operation is based on the creation of a fountain stream.

For its production will require the pump, tubing and nozzle to create a spray pattern.Such structures are more natural, closer to nature, very often used in the Japanese garden.

Stationary Fountain is a structure in which the sculpture stands.We used to meet these in parks and squares.

material for the production of such a fountain is an artificial stone material proven durable and frost resistance.

If you plan to make a grand fountain, that his device will require the construction of the foundation and establishment of the pond.

Create any type of fountain requires the preparation of the pit, strengthening, tank installation (tank), a pump.

recommended to use plastic pipes to build the pipeline, which exclude corrosion and easy to install.

components and installation

To create a garden stone fountain, you need the following materials:

• stones;
• cobblestones;
• gravel;
• pump;
• tank reservoir;
• copper and PVC connecting tube;
• rail.

work itself to install a fountain in the courtyard begins with the preparation of the pit, which should be less than 5 cm prepared container and places for the outlet.

Then poured gravel (5 cm), the capacity installed and connected plastic pipe.Space for socket sprinkled the ground.

In a bowl put the pump, and prepare the holes for the exit.

Next bowl and tube are connected, first poured gravel and set the pump.

With rails fixed structure (rack stacked on top of the structure across).Further stones stacked on one another, the pre-drilled in the middle, on the copper tube.

Next engaged in decoration: the gaps are removed with the help of stones or silicone adhesive.It is also necessary to adjust the pressure of the pump.

In terms of creating a fountain (pond) improvised need:

1. stones;
2. ground;
3. pump;
4. acrylic bathtub (tires);
5. iron sheet and other materials for decoration.

digs a hole comparable to the size of the bath.Bath set, close all drain holes to prevent water seepage.

iron sheet used as protection against splashing water.Stacked vertically around the tub at a short distance, further decorated, such as stones.

gap between the bath and the iron is filled with gravel.Then do waterproofing using PVC film or thick polyethylene: cover the container itself to the iron sheet edges.

Then the bottom of the tub can be installed lights and decorate with small stones.Fill with water and put the pump in the middle.

be completed all design sculptures, clay figures and vases filled with greenery or surround the bath.

How to make a fountain with his own hands, using the tires?Procedure is the same: preparing the pit, it plunges tire previously cut across.

edge of the skirt should be a little peek out of the pit.Further, all covered with a film whose edges are filled per tire.

gradually gained the tank is filled with water, in the center of the pump set, decorated along the edges of the stones.

is also an option available when small stones are placed in a container, but in this case the water will quickly become muddy.The result is a small pond.

Make a pond in the country

Pond in the country is similar to the fountain.It is understood that, in the first place, it is a decorative pond, it is not necessary to breed fish or swim in it.

pond device should be natural, but at the same time should not turn it into a swamp.

Aquatic plants need sunlight, but its excessive influence detrimental impact on the entire system: the water can bloom.

Best location will be the same as lunch, in the most heat, the pond is in the shade.

For the definition of "the same place" is necessary to outline the contours of the pond, and during the day to follow the sun.

Shade, you can use a tree or shrub, if not close to any structure.But in this case it is necessary to regularly clean the pond of fallen leaves and branches.

flat surface is better not to planting shrubs at the same level.The pond looks nice, when there is an alpine slide.

natural height differences will create a stream flowing into the pond, as well as position the bridge, you can enter the waterfall to complete the picture.

To create a pond, you can use ready-made plastic containers, as well as the materials at hand: a bath or tires.

Create waterfall

Build a waterfall in the country with their own hands is quite real.For this invention the materials required are the same as for creating a fountain.

other words, to make a waterfall - means to make a fountain in the country with their own hands and decorate it.

Everything is done according to the general technology: selected place, preparing the groove.However, the landscape here is chosen with great care.

, should choose a place with the sublime, if the site itself is not to build a waterfall, it needs to be done artificially.

steps stone look more natural.To create a stage on the site more suitable flat stones (you can use the clay bowls, vessels).

cement mortar used for fixing them.There is also the option to buy a shelf in a shop cascades.

From the desire, which is a jet of water depends on the form of steps.Torrent created position at the top of rocks with a narrow gap between them.

For more pacified flow used stones of equal distance.Falls will split into rivulets, if steps are with irregularities of sharp stones.

Power for pump constructions are not greater than 1.5 m can not exceed 70 watts, otherwise, it must be greater.

pump has two holes, one for the absorption of water, the second - to expel.Holes are attached to both hoses.At the bottom is the one that draws on the stage - one that pushes.

for the pump is set low-voltage transformer, which is best placed in the utility room and connect using an extension cord.

How to make a waterfall can be seen on the video.

Fountain without pump

In the country, you can make a mini fountain with his own hands without the use of a pump.Why small?Because a large structure on which to place the waterfall, not enough water pressure.

way, home-made device is considerably cheaper than purchased.

principle of communicating vessels is the basis of this design.This means that for this purpose vessels located at different heights are reported tubes through which water flows.

To improve the system of two reservoirs have the same height and connect the tubes coming from them, a T-adapter.Through it, the water overflows when gets into the tank.

The main thing here - to ensure a constant flow of water into the vessels.The tube diameter should be small, so extending the life of the structure.

tanks is better to take the same size, made of plastic.They are made in the bottom of the smaller diameter holes than the tubes.Processed sealant or cold welding.

third vessel should be twice already connected reservoirs.In its mid-mounted T-shaped adapter, doing two holes for tubes of smaller vessels (also processed).

third tank must be below the level of the previous two.

basis for the future of the fountain, the pond is ready.You can also create a small waterfall.

Falls Housing

to create homemade waterfall does not necessarily have a suburban area.It can be done at home.

This will require:

• bottle cap;
• motor;
• cap on deodorant (round);
• corrugated tube;
• another cap on the size of the cap;
• foil and hot melt adhesive;
• plastic box.

From bottle caps cut top plate, the remaining ring is divided into 4 parts (equal).On the plate is a small hole, and cut parts are mounted so that the result is as revealed flower.

cap of cropped deodorant (just above the blades received), it made two holes: to Motor (center) and the tube (at an angle).

From the second lid and cut off the tip of a large hole made in the center.First, the motor is attached in the middle to the cover, the blades should not touch the walls.

Next tube.All matched either, and are glued to the motor axis of the blade.They should turn freely.Then fasten the lid with a hole.

Next glued pump and set all in a plastic box.

Examples ready waterfalls can be seen in the photo.
